A friend and I were making our first trip to Ashland for the Shakespeare festival. This was the perfect place to stay, only few miles from the center of town but also completely secluded and quiet. Then there was the bonus of the amazing grounds of the château which were perfect for our morning walks. The management was quite responsive to our needs – – which actually weren’t very many – – and we are already talking about returning here again next year.

We were in AWE from the moment we drove onto the property. The castle is stunning! The statues are gorgeous! Definitely a must if you’re spending time in the area. Believe me, you won’t want to leave! (We actually booked another night!).
