Me, too. It kills me to pay crazy rates and not even have an 'experience' to show for it. Now, I did pay $250 22 years ago to stay in a castle, but that was an experience. And we still talk about it.

Several years ago I stayed at a B&B in Ireland in a castle, and will never forget it. And it wasn't even a real castle. It was the old county jail that LOOKED like a castle, but to me, it was a castle and I was the lord of the place. Experience certainly is the word, and perception.

You're right! I do! And the rates aren't outrageous.

and this is where this venue is missing a trick in my opinion - http://www.ripleycastle.co.uk/
its a family home - does weddings but all have to stay in the pub which is attacked to the castle across the yard - its a big place id have some totally premium bedrooms in there but that's me. I can see the other side of it that its their home as well and they need a bit of privacy some times as well.

You really have them on every corner there, don't you!
Yes, they could surely make a few units with private entrances that wouldn't bother the family in their home. Put that real estate to work!
I looked all over their website and couldn't find a map, or street address. I wanted to look at it on Google Earth to see if that lake goes all the way around it, because I've decided to be picky and demand a full moat, drawbridge, some nice holes to drop rocks and hot oil on visitors.
Haven't decided if i also want it to have no heat or electricity. You know, the full immersion experience. I could probably handle that, as long as I got the full English breakfast the next morning!
