Thanks for all the advice guys
Are there any specific castles that you can spend the night in that you would recommend? Possibly places that offer a nice meal, tour, and a nice room to sleep in?
One thing my lady is interested in visiting/seeing is rural areas and staying in what she calls - family run bed and breakfast inns (at least thats what they are called here). she really wants to get the rural culture and get some of the city life during the celebration.
We are NOT interested in staying at a hostel either ...
I'm only 26 but I live like I'm an old fart
thanks again for all your help guys!
