We felt very welcome although I get the impression that the neighbours aren't all that happy about strangers coming and going. Parking was certainly a bit of an issue! There wasn't any so don't come by car. We were delighted by the accommodation and the host had left a bottle of bubbly which was a very nice touch. There was tea and coffee and it really felt like a home from home. The decor is beautiful and you feel like you are in a style magazine. We felt very privileged to be staying do close to the castle and we thoroughly enjoyed our two nights. Although the advert states 12 it isn't really for more than 10 people unless someone is prepared to share a room with another couple or you come with children.
