Dundaga Castle — Attraction in Dundagas pagasts

Hard to resist the opportunity to stay in a historic building for a mere €50 a night in a double room with bathroom - and there isn't a big choice of accommodation in Dundaga. The room looked good (wooden floors, four-poster bed, recently decorated) but the smell emanating from the bathroom's drains was almost overwhelming. Maybe we were just unlucky. Hot water took an age to reach the shower (10 mins) and was then scalding - you have been warned.||||Our room had lovely views across the lake and parkland. The atmosphere is more youth hostel than hotel/guesthouse, with lots of young people in the castle during the day (it houses a music school) and only one member of staff looking after the accommodation who was hard to find and seemed to do as little as possible. Fortunately, the ladies in the Tourist Info office just down the corridor were more help, but we had to wait until 10am the next morning for someone to turn up and take our payment. And there was no wifi until 5pm when Tourist Info shut - the guest wifi must share the same router.||||There's a clean kitchen with a fridge, kettle, crockery, etc so you can make your own breakfast, and there's a good cafeteria only about 10 minutes' walk away which will provide breakfast, lunch and dinner.||||All in all, not a bad place to stay, but do ask to see the room and have a good sniff...

We where visiting Latvia this summer. One trip we made was to Dundaga. It was the night before Līgo. Līgo is a huge holiday in Latvia, and administration officials of the castle decided to let the employees working at the castle to take the day off. ||My wife booked early a one night stay at Dundagas castle right before Līgo night. ||We where late to check in. ||Just happened that at the time we were only ones to staying there. We felt very welcome checking in and staying here. The property is beautiful and the people working here are wonderful! Would highly recommend this stop for anyone...
