Beautiful cottage with comfy seating and beds. The view of the castle ruins from the hot tub is stunning especially at night when it is lit up. The hosts could not have been more helpful any question was quickly responded to.

Beautiful home, stunning views, lovely surroundings. The owners are so kind and can’t do enough for you, they were there to help answer any questions or assist in anything we needed. We felt very comfortable and happy there. We would absolutely return! The Christmas decorations are such a lovely touch and made for lovely memories. My only suggestions are very minor and really just personal taste. I would recommend more lamps to create that cosy lighting and maybe another tree in the smaller lounge as we did tend to use that one more.The hot tub box of goodies was also a very welcome touch. Truly a lovely home and experience. Thank you Green Castle!
