Clay-Bryn Castle

Completely awful experience. We stayed at the Carriage House, and were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway for my fiancé’s 30^th birthday. First of all, there is no address to this place. We looked at the address on the website, however it takes you to a location about an hour away from the actual castle. So, we arrived about 2 hours later than we anticipated. Driving around the middle of nowhere in the dark looking for a destination with no address was quite a challenge. When I called to get directions, I was treated extremely poorly from someone who I assume is the owner of the house. He reluctantly gave me some directions, but was not pleasant at all to deal with.
When we arrived at the house, it was infested with ladybugs. Literally hundreds and hundreds of ladybugs inside the house. They were covering the ceiling and walls, and were in the bed. Absolutely awful. The woman who showed us around when we arrived said they had fumigated the day prior (not a pleasant welcome), and that they shouldn’t be a problem. Well, they were. We could not sleep, there were ladybugs flying everywhere, crawling over everything. Terrible.
And lastly, the hot tub. It smelled of mildew and mold. We did not use it because we could not bring ourselves to get into it. A hot tub used by the general public should be treated with chemicals regularly, and this one clearly had not been. Absolutely awful.
So, we departed after only one night, although we had booked for two nights. I have called the owners of the house, and have not received a call back. $ 430 down the drain, and there is no effort thus far to make things right or even respond to the issues we had.
Needless to say, we will never return to this place, and I do not recommend it to anyone.
