The Castle House Estate

  : The place is really stunning and very lovely to the eye and for photos. We stayed in one of the Guard houses which was quite impressive, clean and the bed was comfortable. I found the staff member on the chat function on booking.com very helpful, I had quite a lot of questions which needed answered and they were quick to respond. Given the property is quite remote we were pleased to see a room service menu, though, it would have been great if there was more info on how to order and pay. They offer a number to text your order but it doesn't explain how long it will take or how you pay. Turns out cash or card payment via an online link which was nice and easy. We loved the fire pit outside the property and it was amazing to sit and star-gaze. The room was decorated to a nice standard and overall the place is visually very impressive.
  : We felt misled by the original listing. I chose the Guard House as it had a bathroom/shower in the listing. It isn't until you get your welcome email you find instructions to the separate and shared toilet. There was only one male and one female cubicle for the whole place, given the number of separate rooms on offer you could be sharing with up to 20+ people at any given time. This is now listed as a 'shared bathroom and shower' further down in the listing but it is very misleading, I don't remember seeing this when I booked. I will say the toilets were really clean, but I wish there were more dotted across the site. We don't mind shared facilities, but we thought we'd have our own bathroom as that's what was advertised for this particular room at the time. The welcome email had no info on where to shower, and this is also outside which we didn't know about. I genuinely thought this would be in our guard tower - again not made clear at all in the original listing. There is only one shower cubicle and it is completely open air. The shower cubicle is also very close to a shipping container room so it felt a bit weird showering so close to someone's private room. I also want to address the cost. We paid a good 260 for one night in the guard tower. It is absolutely unique but after staying here it isn't worth the cost for me, especially considering the shared toilet and outside shower. We also had to pay for firewood, it would have been great if this was included (or at least the first bundle). Another thing to note is the pool is a mere 50cm deep and is a small round circle, it is more a paddling pool which again we felt was misleading as the listing says swimming pool There were deck chairs to sit on so you can relax which is something. Overall we enjoyed our stay but they really need to update their listing to accurately show what is on offer at the time of booking.

  : Would be a great location for a group to stay, very unique.
  : More bathrooms would be nice. If you are expecting a normal hotel room this is not the place for you.

  : Amazing room service, great set up and very comfortable. We loved the experiences the property offered
  : Our yurt number 1 was right next to the road and we could hear cars driving past all night, woke up a few times. The other yurts seemed further away from the road and may of been more quiet
