Peaceful place to stay

Great hotel if you want to stay in a castle it is kept to a good standard considering it is a castle , the staff are more than helpful and are all wanting to please you , we had evening meal which was very good which we both enjoyed, we are on a gluten free diet and it was no problem at all for them, the breakfast the next day was also really good , the grounds are also very nice to walk around and explore, we both enjoyed staying here thanks to all the hard working staff we most likely will return

Beautiful castle and surrounding, although room update is required. Carpets and furniture worn out. A tiny TV in the biggest room of the castle(Prince of Wales), need atleast 55 inch smart tv for the suxe of the room. Staff were lovely and polite.

Anniversary Stay

We had a Sunday lunch bought for us so as it was our wedding anniversary I booked a room for the night, a suite room, having a bedroom & separate comfy room. They were excellent although some distance from the reception & dining room.There were outside covered jaquises which we did not have time to use.We did however walk round the gardens which are well kept. The food was a roast which was good. Staff friendly & helpful. We would book again.

Check in was easy, bedrooms a good size and very comfortable beds. Heated towel rail & extractor not working. Tea & coffee facilities and a room safe. Cleaning staff could be a little more attentive during the stay. Food is very good quality and very well cooked, delightful dining room staff, thanks to Rory, Alex & Beth.
