  Liked: This was our first time staying in a castle, and my friend and I were absolutely delighted! The interiors are incredibly beautiful, and our room was equipped with everything we needed. The reception staff were very kind and helpful—they allowed us to leave our luggage before check-in, and by the time our room was ready, our belongings had already been brought up for us. I’d also like to highlight the breakfast; we purchased it separately at the hotel, and it was simply wonderful! We were very happy with our stay and would love to return to the hotel on our next trip:)

  Disliked: Nothing:)
