The castle was beautiful, staff friendly, and food wonderful. The one thing that put a damper on our time was the strong smell of paint/varnish in our room. It was so strong that I became dizzy even though we left the large windows opened all through the night. As a result, I was sick the following two days. We asked for a room change, but they were booked. So, I only write this here in the case that someone might be sensitive to chemicals can avoid this situation ahead of time...
