Stay in a Castle and explore the Historic Gardens

The Layton Castle Carriage House was a restful spot and met our family's needs for a week-long stay! Check-in instructions were clear; the space was quite clean for a historic space - bathroom, linens, and kitchen were tidy and well-kept. The A/C was plenty strong despite the heat (it was upper 90s outside all week). The library was fun to peruse. The main floor bedroom does not have a door (it's clearly described as such), but the curtains offered sufficient privacy when needed. Our dog was welcome; Pam communicated well about coordinating times with their dog for us to run ours out in the yard. The yard was beautiful - keep an eye out around the edges for poison ivy! Some of the surrounding neighborhood felt a little rough, but the yard around the castle and carriage house was fenced and felt secure enough. We definitely plan to stay again next summer!

What a wonderful & pretty place to stay! We stayed here 2nights of our wedding weekend in May. The grounds are gorgeous with flowers in bloom, & fresh cut flowers around our room was such a lovely touch! The rooms are spacious & beautiful. Thank you, Pam for hosting us on our special weekend! I highly recommend visiting Layton's Castle!!

This castle stay was awesome. It’s certainly a hidden gem unlike anywhere we have stayed. We were there when the grounds were in full bloom and perfectly manicured. The owners are very personable and welcoming. They pay close attention to detail and want your stay to be a great experience. We highly recommend this property and it will not disappoint.

I stayed for a few days while in town for business. We positively loved our stay here! What a wonderful experience it was and excellent for relaxation. The suite was well stocked and in pristine condition. We can’t wait to stay here again!

The carriage house at Layton Castle was absolutely gorgeous. You can tell that Pam not only cares about the guest experience, but also the history and preservation of the property. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else next time we’re in Monroe. And it is abbbsolutely haunted (by very pleasant and humorous ghosts!) if you’re into that.

We absolutely LOVE staying in the Carriage House at Layton Castle. We have been there several times now and truly enjoy it each time. The place is so peaceful and Pam is an excellent, responsive host! We will definitely be back when we are in the area again.

To say this was an incredible place to stay is an understatement! The home was comfortable and welcoming, clean and a genuine delight to stay in. The Sun room was a peaceful place to work during the day and the bedroom and bathrooms were very easy to live in. Pam and John were delightful hosts and extremely helpful and accommodating. The castle grounds were a special place to enjoy the day and my son throughly enjoyed playing in the grass with the hosts dog. I can say with absolute confidence that you will enjoy staying at this location. Pam and John thank you so much for having us and we look forward to coming back!

I loved it here! It was such a blessing to find a wheelchair-accessible place like this, and I loved how quiet and charming it was. Everything was comfortable and pleasant to look at. Pam and Brittney were so responsive and helpful. It was everything I needed.

From the moment we entered the wrought iron gates, we knew our stay at Layton Castle would be special. The Castle itself is both grand and eclectic -- take the historical tour if you can! The grounds are gorgeous and peaceful, with sprawling live oaks and magnolias, camellias all over, and a little cemetery dating to the early 1800s. Our accommodations in the Garden Tower and the Carriage House were perfect: spotless and comfortable, fully equipped and tastefully decorated. The Garden Tower has been beautifully renovated with thoughtful touches like the cozy kitchen banquette. The Carriage House was spacious, with a wonderful collection of books to peruse – ideal for our two adult children, each with their own bedroom and private bath. The Layton Castle app made check-in and check-out a breeze, plus it had great tips for restaurants and sightseeing in Monroe. Most important, Pam and John are lovely people -- consummate hosts and caring stewards of this historic gem!

I had a wonderful stay. The location is beautiful and very peaceful. Very comfortable beds and cozy rooms. Pam was a great host. Will definitely be staying again next time I’m in town!
