The staff were genuinely wonderful, the location and gardens are beautiful, the views are breathtaking, and the breakfast was truly excellent. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment came from the actual room. For a hotel charging $400 a night, the accommodations were well below average outdated, cramped, and lacking basic amenities. I understand they’re aiming for a period-accurate aesthetic to match the castle’s charm, but there’s a difference between “historic” and simply worn out. When the chair has no cushion or springs left, and the bed isn’t much better, it stops feeling authentic and starts feeling neglected. Overall, despite the lovely setting and great staff, the room quality just doesn’t justify the price. Not worth the hard-earned money.

Stunning location. Excellent breakfast. Rooms are tiny! Booked a dinner in the castle which was great. Had booked for me and my son who is 13. Even though I asked for one adult and one child (states on the website age requirements), they still simply charged for two adults. Apart from that, it was great!

The lodge was such an incredible place to stay! It was very beautiful and the staff was incredible. The free breakfast in the morning was to die for and the staff there was very accommodating and gave me an extra meal for the next day, since I had to leave early and wouldn’t have been able to make breakfast on the morning I was checking out. I also did the dinner in the castle and it was super cool! My room was a corner room, so I had a balcony that overlooked the garden, as well as the ocean, which was amazing, especially at sunrise. Overall, I highly recommend staying at the lodge, as it was well worth my time and money. Just be aware that it’s not near any stores, so be prepared for that, especially if you don’t have a rental car. And plan any Ubers in advance.

When staying in the stables be prepared for a lot of noise. Other than that this was a really good experience. Dinner in the castle was fun. The grounds and view are breathtaking.

Staying in the Lodge was special, with a four poster bed and spectacular views. Dinner in the Castle was wonderful. The food was excellent and it was enjoyable to mingle with the other dining guests. The breakfast was also very good. Overall our visit to the Castle exceeded our expectations and was good value for money.
