Larnach Castle stay

Brendan checked us in and went above and beyond to make sure we were fed after arriving late and missing the dining experience. The room was large and comfortable with a beautiful view to wake up too.

The most spectacular view from my room window! Underfloor heating in the period perfect bathroom. The rooms decor & furniture true to the style of the Castle. The helpful, informative, friendly staff. The atmospheric ballroom cafe with its lovely selection of food. And, of course, the wonderful garden.
