We had a lovely stay at Green Castle. The view of the castle ruins from the hot tub made this such a tranquil place to be. House was clean and spacious. The bathroom was well laid out and clean. Beds were comfortable. The walks around the woods are well worth doing with some amazing views to be seen. There is no path on the road down into the town so a car is essential. We are very glad we came.
