The castle is kept up very well, very clean. Very nice surroundings. Really comfortable bed, huge room, and very large bathroom all to yourself. Paypal was accepted without problem. Breakfasts were enormous and delicious. Great walking area down to the water. Best bet is getting a cab into Gourock. Go to Cafe Continental to eat! Great food, and Tony is a great waiter-request him!
Also Lady Lydia has her artwork all over the castle, and it's for sale :)

Not a typical B&B. A bit like Gryffindor Common Room meets the Weasley Burrows in a corner of the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts at the end of Privet Drive. Cosy, very cluttered, homey castle at the end of a residential street. It was an experience for all of us to remember and talk about.
Be aware that since this is a real castle, the spiral staircase is very narrow and winding. You will need to walk down a few flights from the street to the main entrance. The twin bedded room is on the ground floor but the main bedroom is a few flights up. So is the dining room. If you have any difficulty with climbing, or if you have large suitcases, just understand that there are no shortcuts.
Our hosts were very kind and got up early to serve us breakfast at 6:30 am so that we could arrive at the Glasgow airport before 8 to return our rental car. Jan entertained us with stories of how the castle came to belong to them while Lydia made us all English breakfasts.
I had looked into staying at other castles in Scotland. My son insisted that he would want to stay in a "real" castle, not a more modern hotel that looked like a castle only on the outside. He was pleased with our choice of Castle Levan and I am glad we had the experience for one night.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Caslte Levan. The castle's large upstairs bedroom was clean and nicely decorated. The dining area was cluttered with books and cd's stacked all over, not what I had expected.
I was also surprised to find the castle was amongst other houses in a sub-division rather than in a more secluded area. I am very sensitive to cigarette smoke and the moment I walked into the entry door of the castle, I could smell smoke residue and knew someone in the castle was a regular smoker. Lydia should invest in a high quality air purification system. Keep these two things in mind when booking.

What a wonderful experience! My wife and I arrived late and soaking wet after a long motorcycle ride through horrible weather. We were too tired and cold to go back out and get food, so Lydia fixed us a nice dinner even though we hadn't reserved it with the room. The castle itself is everything we wanted. A traditional styled family castle that still has "unfinished" interiors. It's great because you can tell you are in a castle from your room. The hosts were happy to chat at dinner and tell stories about the castle. The bed was nice and comfy, and best of all, THE FLOORS ARE HEATED! Nice toasty feet in the cold weather is wonderful. Thanks again for a great stay!
