Staying in the Lodge was special, with a four poster bed and spectacular views. Dinner in the Castle was wonderful. The food was excellent and it was enjoyable to mingle with the other dining guests. The breakfast was also very good. Overall our visit to the Castle exceeded our expectations and was good value for money.

A beautiful location. The room was large and comfortable and the bathroom was also big and warm. We had a delicious meal in the dining room. My only complaint is that the staff member serving us wine had not idea about wine and could not guide us at all.

Unexpected Surprise

The environment was very pleasant and the castle was lovely. However, what we didn't realize was that we had to share showers and bathrooms with up to 7 other units, so that meant leaving the room at night to go to the restroom, and taking a shower and rushing back to your room; overall very unpleasant.
