Trailfinders' Sam Henderson gives an insight into Larnach Lodge at Larnach Castle
Larnach Lodge at Larnach Castle Expert Review
Sam Henderson
Larnach Lodge has million-dollar views; the rooms are all set in the gardens and take full advantage of them. Guests staying get to enjoy the gardens to themselves after hours before residing in the individually decorated rooms.
All guests have free access to the castle. They have a chef who cooks breakfast and dinner and a short drive away there are other options to eat out.
I would 100% recommend staying at Larnach over a city hotel as it's such a unique experience.
Top tip: I would recommend paying a little extra to take a guided tour round, as the guide really bought the history to life.

Trailfinders Hotel Classification Guide
Modest accommodation with basic facilities, representing good value where price is the main priority.
Simple, comfortable accommodation and facilities offering good value for the destination.
Good standard of accommodation and/or facilities and overall a higher level of service may be expected.
High international standards of accommodation and facilities where luxury and quality of service are priorities.
Indicates that the property offers a higher than average level of accommodation and facilities when compared to other properties of the same classification.
Unique, often smaller and sometimes historic properties, which offer individual charm and are consequently very popular. They offer the standards of accommodation indicated by their classification but rooms may be smaller than average and not all facilities may be available.
Trailfinders classifications are for your guidance only and do not mirror any international "star rating" system. In each case, the full description of the property should be read and used in conjunction with the classification indicated. A 3★ city hotel, for example, may be more expensive than a 4★ if it is in a prime location. Classifications are unique to a destination and can reflect local or regional variations in quality and service, so a 5★ in a particular area may not be comparable with a 5★ elsewhere.
