Scary experience

We arrived at 11pm and were told we booked a room in Castle Rock not the main Castle. Finding Castle Rock in the dark with no signs or street lights was a nightmare. When we managed to find Castle Rock, it looked like a deserted house from a horror movie. Pitch black with no lights on anywhere. We eventually came back to the main castle and decided to upgrade to stay in the Castle, there was no one at the front desk, we used the walkie-talkie at the front desk, still nothing. After almost 15mins, someone came to the front desk. It’s one of the worst experiences had.

Disappointing Overall Experience

The castle is a stunning building from the outside. Once inside, however, you are in a very tired environment. The hotel is in desperate need of some investment/renovation. The food was delicious and elegantly presented. Some of the service was first class while the majority was sub-par. No value for money.

The hotel advertised itself as pet friendly. When we arrived with our dog they told us we would have to stay in the lodge , not the room in the castle I had originally reserved,because they didn’t allow dogs in the castle. Then they gave us an inferior room up 2 flights of stairs that I had to climb with my bad knees. I was extremely disappointed.

Disappointed

We were really disappointed considering the price. There was not even hand lotion in the bathroom. If you had a bath, you have to stand up to reach the soap, shampoo dispenser. We had dinner in the dungeon which is expensive. The waiter that initially served us just about dumped everything on the table. The waitress that brought our food was sniffing continuously in your ear whilst dressing the food. We ordered 3 of the same meal. One had so much sauce the food looked like it was in soup. My husbands had quite a lot of sauce and mine had hardly any. We had to ask them to bring some sauce for my husband and I.
