Poor room
Castle is stunning, food was amazing,the service in the 1857 restaurant was very slow, room was very dated, ( granted you are staying in a old castle ) but come on , get the basics in order, the room felt like I was in a very cheap b and b in Blackpool, for the price of £205 a night, I would expect the room not to look so tired.

Somewhat disappointed
Accommodations were good but service was poor. Communication on check in was limited. Went to breakfast first day but was unsure if it was included or extra since menu stated price (turned out it was included). No slotted times so it go to be a long wait. Second morning we waited for about an hour after placing order for hot breakfast and it still hadn’t arrived and no one addressed our concerns so we left. Continental breakfast was very sparse that morning as well. Dinner in brassiere was good but again slow service. Expected more for the price we paid.

Fantastic venue, room was stunning, staff were amazing. The only downside was the Wine Cellar bar was closed and we had been told to go to by friends. The 1851 Restaurant was superb, the food was top class. All around, would recommend highly a visit.

Peckerton Castle - A must visit place. Lovely place aesthetically. Set in woodlands and still. has the old worldly essence of its time. Some staff seemed friendlier than others and we thank you - you know who you are. Lovely place to have a weekend. The rooms were clean and homely. Dinner in Brasserie was good. Breakfast in 1871 restaurant was good and staff accommodated need well. Lovely fare. Overall I would go back to Peckerton Castle.

We went to this place for a wedding. It was not cheap to stay here for 2 nights and we had high hopes due to the cost of the room. On arrival we were warmly greet and given our room key. Navigating the hotel wasn’t easy and on finding our room the room was small with only a double bed in it. We noticed quickly once in the room there was a loose floor board outside the room and when anyone walked past our room the noise of the loose floor board echoed in our room which made relaxing and sleeping very difficult. The bed when trying to sleep was far too soft causing my other half to sleep on the floor as it was more comfortable. The room was quite basic and the decoration looked dated and not in a good way. The rooms looked run down and you could see paint marks around the room. The TV in the room was on the side wall which meant it was awkward to watch in bed and there was nowhere else you could watch it from. The bathroom was badly thought out, the shower was very strong which was great but lead to water covering all the bathroom floor with no way to stop it. The rooms were very hot and stuffy with only a small window to open. They did provide a fan but there was only limited surfaces to place this on for both guests to benefit from this. The food at the hotel was to a good standard but we was informed we was best booking in advance as may not be able to get a table otherwise. The drinks were quite expensive and a service charge was automatically applied on every drink.
