Would totally recommend!!! But DRESS WARM!!! - DRESS WARM!!! The castle is freezing. Other than that, my husband and I had a great time! We went last week (Jan of 2024) and it was surprisingly a full house! There was roughly 40-50 people there?! But they split the group in half with the main manager and one of the employees each taking a group of like 20 people on a tour. It was very educational about the history of those who might be haunting the castle. They had a bunch of stories, pictures and recordings to share with us of previous types of ghost encounters guests and employees had in the past.

Book ittttt - I really loved all of the information our guide shared with us and how compassionate she was while talking about some of the ghost. Petes room was her favorite and she shared some information about him.

Nice Castle - Enjoyed the experience, just feel like tour sizes should be a little smaller. More intimate would likely result in more supernatural experiences. But overall a good tour.

Historical Spooky Building - Interesting historical building with spooky atmosphere. Personally did not feel any paranormal vibes however.

Too many people to enjoy the ghosts - What was advertised as a small group of up to 15 people turned out there were 44 of us on the tour. That is way too many people to move from room to room. Our guide was great and energetic, but the size of group made it difficult to enjoy the tour

Could have been GREAT was only ok. - The castle and information were great. However, we did the ghost tour with a group of 44 people. It was to many people to enjoy the experience. There was no way to get a photo that did not have people in it and definitely could not get a picture that a shadow could not be ruled out. I also do not understand why you have to had 4!to book the history tour. We wanted to do the tour but was only 2 of us and was not willing to buy 2 extra tickets.
