Felt like a princess !

The drive up the lane way and seeing the Welsh Gate House was beautiful! We climbed the spiral staircase to one of the best stays we have ever had. It was very romantic and the host went above and beyond with special touches. A very memorable stay and we look forward to returning one day.

A personal castle

Tastefully and thoughtfully restored with all comforts, and our own personal turret to admire the views. The warning about the steep spiral staircase and the ladder to the sleeping loft were not an exaggeration so not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. However, since my husband wanted to reenact the castle scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, he braved the staircase!
