    30pm almost dark. Lot of people milling around as nighttime Halloween event being held. Signage to apartment at back of castle very poor and we were ‘rescued’ by helpful and friendly electrician, Parking requested at front because of event. Immediate poor reaction on entry as straight into living area dull and smelly. A request the following morning for new extractor filter (filthy) and lightbulb was fairly promptly dealt with. Carpet seemed grubby and place somewhat dusty. Table and chairs need replacing. Seating comfortable if old fashioned. Bathrooms clean and appeared to be recently refurbished and decorated. Good showers and plenty of hot water. Bedrooms OK ish and bed and bedding very comfortable. Lighting everywhere poor. Entrance area scruffy and outlook depressing - bins and parking area. Having a ground floor good for access for dog though but no nearby grassy areas. Welcome supplies appreciated and OK kitchen area well stocked with china etc. dishwasher would be good ? We enjoyed the castle and Halloween event and loved the local area but felt disappointed with the overall condition and location of the apartment - it was depressing. Whilst we understand trying to maintain the character of the building this space is, we believe, in need of an update and we did not feel we had value for the money. I would like to have seen the other apartments for comparison but disappointingly we were not impressed with ours.
