"We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful castle hotel. The rooms were beautiful and clean and the staff was so kind and welcoming. Breakfast was also extremely nice with a hot option (like pancakes/sausage) included. Only complaint is that there needs to be some pest control inside, as there were spiders in every corner of the ceiling as well as one running around by my toilet. The grounds were incredible and we wished we had more time to stay and hike around them as others seemed to know...

"The hotel is nice with two places to eat, an outdoor seating area, and a couple of floors with rooms. I had a room above the main entrance and while it was comfy, there was absolutely no noise prevention with either the window or the door. I could hear everything. There's a tag that offers ear plugs, but I'd rather see them invest in better sound proofing. The bed was firm, which I enjoyed. It's close to some food options as well in the area. I can't speak to the food options in the hotel as I didnt eat there. Overall comfy, but the noise was noticeable. Staff is very friendly."
