"Stayed here on a business trip. Excellent place to stay. Great service and the food was very nice and affordable. Very nice room and great location! Parking was easy enough too (sadly an extra charge though) The only thing I would personally say is the air con wasn’t amazing. I noticed I started coughing and once I realised it was potentially the air con I turned it off and stopped. Overall 9/10 experience would definitely recommend!"

"Beautifully maintained Castle and grounds. Room was exceptional, makes you feel like a king or queen. Nice quiet bar to have a drink, great dining room and quality food. Great cooked to order English breakfast. Everything was great. It set a stand for us for the rest of our castle hotel search. I would stay here anytime. One suggestion though is to have soothing, calming music at breakfast, as background music, instead of 'hit parade'."

10/10 Excellent
"We initially booked to stay for 4 nights with the aim of moving further north afterwards. However, the hotel, the room, its staff and the food, were all excellent and, as a result we stayed a further 3 nights. Housekeeping was first rate. Food in the restaurant saw very good (and we ate in every night). All of the staff were helpful and friendly (special mention to Jess on Reception). Overall, we enjoyed an excellent stay and would readily use the hotel again."
