Good value hotel stay, basic rooms but our family room was en suite. The restaurant and bar were closed during our stay so bed and breakfast only. Tranquil setting. Quirky but we had a good weekend with the kids.

Castle surrounds are lovely, however the room I stayed in was dated, dirty, damp, grass cuttings on the floor and woodlice infestation. Pictures are very misleading on the website. Gentleman was lovely who checked me in, although I was waiting 30 mins.

Highly recommended property with a lovely hostess (Sarah) and conscientious family staff. The castle and grounds are fantastic and the church was beautiful (we could only see the outside). I don't care for cats but the one here followed me everywhere and was very precocious. This is a peaceful and beautiful retreat and the castle is beautifully lit at night. Sarah even upgraded our room because we were the only visitors. A gracious hostess with lots of stories and interested us. What a treat.

overnight in the castle
A wonderfully peaceful stay away from the bustle of modern life. Lovely friendly staff happy to help and the owner was everything you would expect, someone who cares about the heritage, her staff and her clients. Its not a 5 star posh experience but it is rather magical

Night in a castle
Quite an experience. We stayed in the Castle and whilst appreciating fact aesthetically room needs to be in keeping with surroundings it does need a complete update. At breakfast there was no menu so you were presented with English breakfast whether you wanted it or not. The grounds are beautiful but there is no bar/cafe so you can access a snack on site. The owners/staff were quite nice but it was almost like we had gone back to P G Wodehouse days. I didn’t think it was worth the money but the surrounding accommodation may be better value. We wouldn’t stay again

All fur coat and no knickers!
The place was clean and comfy beds/bedding. Check in was awful...nobody about, no signs telling you where to go. Was really confusing. Nobody answered the phone after repeatedly calling. The floorboards above us were so loud with people walking around till 3am we hardly slept. No WiFi so grumpy teenager. No teaspoons to make a drink. TV didn’t work. Lovely location but so many basics were overlooked.

Not really suited for business travel
I would image it is a lovely venue for weddings. very beautiful setting. However for business traveller not really suitable. No food facility in the evening the nearest place is a drive away. In the room the TV didn't work No usable internet and was no curtain on a ground floor window needed to get a covering from reception and put it up myself

Beautiful setting and great service.
Great location and service. Breakfast was delicious. Hosts very kind and helpful. We didn’t have time to do the tour of the castle and unfortunately the weather was awful so we didn’t get the full benefit of the lovely setting but would definitely return.

Shabby
Room was dirty and very faded. There was a mystery door In our room that said “private do not enter”. There was a cupboard full of personal items. we were also right next to reception and could hear clear as day anything that was said (so assume they could hear us). There was cat hair on the floor, the toilet hadn’t been cleaned properly and we only had less than half a loo roll.

It was very bad experience with this hotel I rent this room 8 PM and Unfortunately the check in was close 6:30 PM it’s really unfair I came with my family and we stuck with no response and no phone answered. My concern is how they accepted my booking for tonight and the check in already closed?
