Came for a wedding, and what a stunning venue! Be aware that the carpark is a short walk from the castle itself (for those wearing heels - there is gravel and a hill!), although people/luggage can be dropped off at reception. The building can appear a bit of a maze, but is incredible - had a great time exploring after a very tatsy breakfast (only got slightly lost!). Room was a good size, comfy bed, and surprisingly good water pressure in the shower!

Looking quite tired now in some of the rooms and have had to report maintenance requirements in different on my last 3 stays. Change of policy to not offer breakfast as part of a package without any change in price is sneaky and wasn't communicated at booking.
