"Amazing views from our room - we slept with our curtains open and was awoken to the most stunning sunrise, we would have missed it if the curtains were closed - this was room 27 which was a Lodge room and even though it did not say on the room details that it had a toilet, it did, the bathrooms was lovely and warm with the underfloor heating - the wallpaper in the bedroom was not exactly laid well as the joints were so noticeable on certain walls and made the room look a little shabby but if it was repapered correctly then it would have been great - there was a lovely little family of Starlings (birds) which which had made a home by the window and it was lovely to watch them - the room was lovely and warm - the bed was sooooo comfy, best nights sleep and a deep sleep in a long time - the views from the room to the Peninsular and sea were stunning - lovely brand of tea, coffee, fresh milk in a fridge in the room - the breakfast was fabulous , lots of choice, freshly and individually cooked so it was lovely and hot, good quality ingrediants - good to be offered dietary alternatives and accommodating - super friendly staff - castle was amazing as usual, as we've stay/visited many times before - grounds beautiful to walk around - we Love Larch Castle and would highly recommend - can't wait until we can return......
