This hotel caters to bus tours… it’s an older crowd and rooms a bit dated. We were put in the basement due to a large tour. Food and drinks were good but overall inside sleepy.

Lovely hotel for a relaxing break and lovely grounds to walk in. Only thing we could fault was the jacuzzi has been out of order for some time and was going to be fixed before our stay but wasn’t. Other than that I would definitely recommend it and go back ourselves

The Castle was beautiful, but the room was disapp.

The Castle itself is beautiful and the restaurant and bar very nice. The room was fair. The water pressure in the shower was dismal and we we directly above the bar, so I could hear every word in the live music until around 12pm the last night we were there. The housekeeping did not leave us any washcloths or a bathmat the last day we were there and they never cleaned our coffee mugs at all. Although I was disappointed in the accommodations, the staff was very nice.

The staff were lovely, the room was great, the food was very good basic cooking and breakfast was excellent. The grounds were amazing. I would recommend avoiding the bar. The prices are robbery. 2 double malts £44 when I had seen the same bottle in the village at £40 - enough for 14 doubles.
