Lovely loft on beautiful surroundings. We just stayed for one night and it was very clean, cozy, and easily accessible. Beautiful drive and surrouds! Josie was very responsive, flexible and accommodating. We were most appreciative and thank you for our stay! We enjoyed meeting Ted (the doggie) too! So sweet!

Huntington Castle

KristaRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Alexander was very friendly and helpful. He gave us loads of information about the castle and property. He welcomed us and helped us find a nice restaurant for supper. The atmosphere at the castle is amazing. Full of antiques and rich in history. I wish we could have stayed longer than one night. You actually have the castle experience and I cannot tell you enough to book it. Worth every penny! The history of his family for 400 years is so amazing. Breakfast was delicious.

Stayed here last Friday night with my girlfriend. It was the perfect retreat to get away from it all! Eddie is a gentleman and has the place very well setup. Everything is provided from cooking facilities, large battery bank, modern and clean WC / shower, firewood, heated bed and so on. Literally everything was thought of here. Only a short 5 minute drive to the town if you don’t fancy cooking - I’d recommend Finn’s takeaway, great burgers.

The open-plan kitchen and living area features a modern design with elegant stone countertops and an inviting fireplace. Soft lighting from various sources creates a welcoming ambiance, while large doors lead to scenic outdoor views. Cozy seating is arranged for relaxation and conversation.
