The staff were all very helpful, the room was very clean with good facilities. Only difficulty I had being slightly disabled was I found the shower extremely slippery to use a non slip mat would have been useful. Food was excellent

Came for a wedding, and what a stunning venue! Be aware that the carpark is a short walk from the castle itself (for those wearing heels - there is gravel and a hill!), although people/luggage can be dropped off at reception. The building can appear a bit of a maze, but is incredible - had a great time exploring after a very tatsy breakfast (only got slightly lost!). Room was a good size, comfy bed, and surprisingly good water pressure in the shower!

Service and experience was Well below standard expected for this price hotel, had better from budget hotels. No coffee capsules in the room for coffee machine, burnt toast, dirty breakfast bowls, incorrect breakfast orders, drinks served from broken glasses, ran out of breakfast cereal, very stingy on inclusive breakfast.

Looking quite tired now in some of the rooms and have had to report maintenance requirements in different on my last 3 stays. Change of policy to not offer breakfast as part of a package without any change in price is sneaky and wasn't communicated at booking.
