This was a beautiful castle with amazing grounds full of trees and gardens. I was very pleasantly surprised at my room, which was very modern and upscale but still in a historic castle environment. There is a full golf course on property, and I'm not a golfer but absolutely enjoyed walking the peaceful beautiful grounds.
