Living on a knight's castle

Loved our stay. Everything very clean and comfortable. We have been at the castle for a stay before and will definitely be back again. What a sight to see! This is an experience you should not miss. The best place ever!

Unbelievably good stay. Arriving after the castle was closed, and opening up the big gates to let ourselves in was spectacular, as were the views out from the balcony, facing straight out to the glorious sunset. Magical.

This place is so cool. I need to bring my children back

Unique place to stay and the castle itself did not disappoint. But although we were able to use the checkin instructions to find the key to enter the entrance and building, we were unable to easily enter the actual building we were to stay in. No one greeted us. The place was completely empty. So remained outside our apartment without the ability to connect with the owners by email or phone. Our phones had little to no reception up on the hill and it was frustrating that so much time was spent just trying to get inside. After finally getting a return call much later from the caretakers/owners we learned that the trick to the door to get inside is to pull the doorknob towards you while turning the key. This is not obvious and very tricky. This extra information should have been put in the check-in instructions. Print out the instructions before arriving so you don’t need to rely on your phone/email to get inside. It was a bit cold and there isn’t much heat in the place so bring warmer clothes to make your sleep more comfortable. The place is not lit very well outside so bring a flashlight if you go outside. Beds were not comfortable but were clean. Only smaller autos can easily enter through the lovely wooden castle doors. Pull in your mirrors if you have a larger van like us. Would we stay again? Yes, absolutely. How often can you stay in the fortress of an abandoned castle? But I would plan better in advance to have a more enjoyable time.
