Too bad the castle was closed and only open on limited occasions. Unfortunately we were not able to visit the castle at a later time

This castle was recommended to me as being quite interesting to visit. So off I went, driving for about one hour, mostly through narrow country lanes. I arrived at the front gates at 10:45, only to be met by notices saying that the castle was closed – it would open at 14:00 hours. Not being able to stay till opening time, I decided to drive up the drive-way and at least view the castle from the outside and maybe take a picture of it. No sooner had I driven half way up, when a man with the airs of being the owner, started shouting at me as if he were possessed. He shouted things like “ you have no respect, I have put two notices and yet you have disrespected me, what don’t you understand about the castle being closed”. He repeated these phases all the louder at least twice. He is the one with no respect at all, because, if he had let me reply to his accusations, I would have explained that “yes I can see that your castle (the building itself) is closed and visiting it is not possible, but thought that it was ok to drive in and get a photo”. I definitely advise any prospective visitor to keep well away!

My daughters loved spending 2 nights in the castle. They did not want to leave. The especially enjoyed the special attention they received each morning at breakfast. They are still talking about the hot chocolate and croissants.

We booked a room for two nights on their website where it showed that there still are availabilities. Also it says that they reply within 24 hours but they didn't even deem it necessary to update the website or give us a reply of any sort that the reservation didn't work and they were in fact (contrary to what their website said) fully booked. Poor customer service.

I gave this castle a good rating because it is superb. On the other hand, the visit was a bit brief because we only had access to the garden and 2 rooms of the castle. Otherwise the owner was friendly and so was the guide.
