The best hotel stay we have ever had
This was one of the nest hotel stays we have had. The room was very spacious and the best was extremely comfortable. The food at the restaurant was out of this world. We are looking forward to staying there again very soon. We recommend the Richard II room. The only drawback is we couldnt see the TV from the bed.

Castle!
Very cool to be in a castle! Waiting service needs attention. Slow and automatically placed 12.5% gratuity on bill. She asked if I wanted to take it off, but what pressure! Fix that the place is great!

8/10 Very good

Atmospheric and unique castle
It is amazing to stay in an actual castle, the building is beautiful and very atmospheric. The decor is mostly c.1990s set dressing but quite amusing and adds to the general character. Dinner was fine and breakfast generous except the coffee which could be improved. It was very cold when we stayed and the room was extremely well heated which was nice; only problem was the thermostat on the bathroom radiator didn’t work so it was on all night, making it so hot sleep was impossible!

Lovely castle stay.
Such a beautiful, relaxing stay. Lovely historic place. We stayed in a stable stateroom and it was genuinely lovely. We'll be back.

A treat that you will want to repeat.
A very interesting castle that houses beautifully prepared rooms, wonderful surroundings, excellent good and wonderful service. A treat that everyone with any sense or enjoyment of history will eat up. Very cheap and comfortable rooms with excellent facilities and a nice and quiet location. The Christmas decorations were also top notch.

Lovely room, spacious, comfy bed definitely recommend this hotel. Only thing I was disappointed with was limited bar meals after 5pm for vegetarians. I think sandwich options need to extended so available in the evenings.
