Larnach Lodge
4.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (463)
"Beautiful gardens and gorgeous castle. The details in the creation and restoration are a labor of love. Hot breakfast and entrance to the castle and gardens was all part of the price, making this stay worth every penny. We stayed in the stables. Accommodations were ample for three adults. Excellent Wi-Fi. We needed to get some work done and were able to complete it without any problems. All in all, would recommend 10/10."
