    Location was amazing, views from the windows were beautiful too, around a 100 meters from the castle wall.

    Very close to the castle which is the main attraction. Probably the nicest possible view. Has everything it needs to be honest. Lots of pictures of the castle in the house, I dare you to count them all.
