“The Castle is truly amazing! Staff were great and knowledgeable about the History of the Castle. Was incredible to climb the windy staircase to the top where our room was, it added to the wonderment of our stay! You are encouraged to explore the Castle and read old letters that you may find in your room. Truly an amazing experience and I would recommend it to everyone! Spectacular views!”
