Accommodation in a medieval castle

Accommodation in a castle is a great experience. Castle in build very simple, from stone, mortar and wood but in the same time is the most heavily fortified structures ever created. The castle is surrounding by stone palisade because the wood palisade proved too easy to burn.
In general is not easy to live in a medieval castle, is not the most confortable place. Medieval castles were built for safety, not comfort. Windows were little more than slits in the wall. Cold, stone floors and walls rarely kept in heat. Water had to be brought by the bucketful throughout the castle. Walls were built high to protect from advancing armies, and to provide needed lookout positions.
