Dark castle

I was excited to stay at a castle until I saw our room. The rooms are in the stable courtyard. They are dark with poor lighting and only one small window. The decor is heavy brocade and heavy curtains. The restaurant and halls are dark also. Breakfast was good. Dinner was just okay. I have to say that I expected more. Staff was average. Overall, I would try to find a brighter location with a more upbeat atmosphere.
