The castle was beautiful, room much bigger than the pics suggest, the bed itself was really comfy, and probably the biggest TV I’ve ever seen in a hotel room. Good choice and service in the bar/restaurant. Nice thought put into the vegan options too which was the main reason we chose here over nearby castles, and why I’ve still given 5 stars. Only downsides was the breakfast did trigger the Mrs’ intolerance to Quorn, (not a well known allergen but I’d just suggest to state on the menu if Quorn is used) and also there was a connecting door to the next room hidden behind the wardrobe, which meant we could hear every noise from the neighbouring bathroom. Thankfully next door weren’t too noisy

Pleasant but room for improvement

A very nice setting and the castle restaurant was pleasant. Our room was functional but it was quite small and outdated. The bed wasn’t the comfiest and on the small side but overall our stay was nice.

Lovely setting

Lovely, friendly young man on reception when we arrived. Setting is wonderful. Four poster bed great but a little small. Restaurant nice for dinner, staff nice Breakfast far too expensive for what you get. Kept being told only on chef on, waited almost an hour for food that was just ‘ok’. Castle breakfast too small. Good buffet options. Receptionist Saturday morning rather sharp, asked to be refunded for the Sunday breakfast as we were not planning on eating there again. Seemed rather reluctant and offered no apology. The rooms could be so much more in keeping with the castle setting. Current decor bland, lots of empty space and a they’re missing a trick that could make the experience more unique. Bed comfy, sofa comfy. Staff helpful at night and happy to provide extra pillows and blankets. Would stay again, just needs a bit of an update.
