Ms Wilkins
Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from the bus station and less to the castle. I had everything I needed and was very comfortable. The host was very responsive when I needed to contact him, which was greatly appreciated. Some really nice little touches, including knowing that the bedroom curtains had been made by the host's mum!
