Wonderful place to stay if visiting albatross sanctuary or just for the experience of staying at the castle. We stayed in a lodge with a sea view . Decor was in-keeping with the castle and beds were comfortable. We had a tour of the castle included in our nightly rate which was interesting and before check-in we ate in the cafe where the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming Highly recommend.

We were in an upstairs room and the view was stunning! The room was plush with a four poster bed that was very comfortable. The whole experience of staying in the grounds of the stately home was great - especially as free access comes with the room. Breakfast was good with a nice selection of cooked and continental. We also had Dinner in the castle - the food was good and it was fun having a private dinner party with people we did not know. Need to book in advance direct with the hotel though!

The only downside to our stay was a slight problem with the room. This was acknowledged and apologised for and an offer of a 20% reduction if we revisited. Everything else was excellent and the accommodation package booked through Expedia was very good value , including Castle entrance,garden viewing and a fantastic breakfast. The staff were friendly, efficient and enthusiastic.

When staying in the stables be prepared for a lot of noise. Other than that this was a really good experience. Dinner in the castle was fun. The grounds and view are breathtaking.

Staying in the Lodge was special, with a four poster bed and spectacular views. Dinner in the Castle was wonderful. The food was excellent and it was enjoyable to mingle with the other dining guests. The breakfast was also very good. Overall our visit to the Castle exceeded our expectations and was good value for money.
