amazing stay at this castle
early check-in fine linens luxurious suite
I loved the early check-in option offered by the friendly front desk staff! my room was really nicely appointed. It included bottled water, coffee, and fine linens. i got an upgrade to a junior suite at the end of my trip and it felt so luxurious!
The location is a bit isolated. It's not easy to walk to other restaurants or attractions.
