点评:Ballintore Castle is in under restoration. The Kitchen flat is set up as a rental with three bedrooms and a open living space with a wood stove. The galley kitchen is at the entrance -and not really inviting. The flat has a hallway that is about 30 feet of glass that looks out at a dirt courtyard space to the castle. I would recommend staying here only during the late spring to early fall when heat is not essential for comfort. The kitchen flat is around and to the side of the castle. There are rooms that are completed in the castle's keep. They are all unique and finished. We stayed here at the end of November and the day we arrived was quite cold and there has been an ice freeze. The owner David and his staff.have adapted to cold conditions and do not keep the heating system on. When we arrived for our stay, it was dark and there was no outdoor lighting, we wondered around tryingto figure out where we should be. Finally David came outside. Also no wood provided to heat spaces, you will have to research where to purchase wood. It was unique staying at a castle, it was freezing, damp.and musty. The electricity popped in the upper kitchen, so food was not kept at proper temperature. It was difficult to find David. The next morning there was a delivery driver asking us if we knew where he was.
We were told by David that there was a "restaurant" so part of our group didn't worry about bringing food....no restaurant
.
Overall - do not stay during cold season -as heat will not be turned on for more than a couple of hours....if that-i imagine it's expensive to heat a castle
Bring your own firewood
It's a beautiful area of Scotland, do go to Glamis castle for tea and the tour!! I highly recommend!
翻译:巴林托尔城堡正在修复中。厨房公寓是出租的,有三间卧室和一个带木炉的开放式起居空间。厨房在入口处 - 并不吸引人。公寓有一个大约 30 英尺长的玻璃走廊,可以俯瞰城堡的泥土庭院空间。我建议只在晚春到初秋期间住在这里,因为那时热量对舒适度来说并不重要。厨房公寓在城堡周围和侧面。城堡主楼里有一些房间已经完工。它们都是独一无二的。我们在十一月底住在这里,我们到达的那天很冷,而且有冰冻。主人大卫和他的员工已经适应了寒冷的环境,没有一直开着暖气系统。当我们到达住宿地时,天很黑,没有户外照明,我们四处徘徊,试图弄清楚我们应该住在哪里。最后大卫出来了。也没有提供木材来取暖,你必须研究在哪里购买木材。住在城堡里很特别,天气寒冷、潮湿、发霉。楼上厨房的电突然断了,所以食物没有保持在适当的温度。很难找到大卫。第二天早上,一位送货司机问我们是否知道他在哪里。
大卫告诉我们,这里有一家“餐厅”,所以我们团队中的一部分人不必担心带食物……没有餐厅
。
总的来说——不要在寒冷的季节呆在那里——因为暖气不会打开超过几个小时……如果那样的话——我想给城堡供暖会很贵
自带木柴
这是苏格兰一个美丽的地方,一定要去格拉姆斯城堡喝茶和游览!!我强烈推荐!
