4/10 Fair

This hotel caters to bus tours… it’s an older crowd and rooms a bit dated. We were put in the basement due to a large tour. Food and drinks were good but overall inside sleepy.

Beautiful place

Went for me and my fiancé 10 year anniversary. It was a beautiful place. So much to do on the hotel grounds
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An amazing place to stay with great history and even a hotel museum in the basement. Full size snooker table, its own pub, live music on a Friday, relaxing swimming pool.

Food was great. Gardens and outside lighting were beautiful especially Japanese garden. Bed was very comfy. Great service although last year we had exceptional service from Michael but unfortunately didnt see him this year x
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The Castle was beautiful, but the room was disapp.

The Castle itself is beautiful and the restaurant and bar very nice. The room was fair. The water pressure in the shower was dismal and we we directly above the bar, so I could hear every word in the live music until around 12pm the last night we were there. The housekeeping did not leave us any washcloths or a bathmat the last day we were there and they never cleaned our coffee mugs at all. Although I was disappointed in the accommodations, the staff was very nice.

Hotel is old but lovely. Bar and food prices are a bit high.

Beautiful grounds with activities. Staff were good and friendly. The property has lots of history. They’ve done a good job in updating as they can give the age of the building. Breakfast included was a nice touch.
