It was very fun and interesting to stay in a real castle complete with tiny hidden stairs and unique architecture. Unfortunately, the cleanliness and amenities were disappointing. Many lamps didn't work, the clothes washer didn't work, Wi-fi service was intermittent, and some windows wouldn't close due to vines growing into them. Add to that, the kitchen counters were grimy, the microwave was filthy, and we had to wash dishes prior to using them (dishes and cutlery were put away dirty).
We came on holiday for birthdays and were very thrilled to stay at Plane Castle. The history of the property is amazing, the introduction by our host Charlie was spectacular and it was an amazing holiday experience in Scotland. We all highly recommend this stay!
