Absolutely stunning hotel. The rooms were amazing. The ambiance 10/10. Everyone is super friendly. I travel a lot all over the world staying in very nice hotels. This one ranks top10 on my list. The hotel dogs (two Irish wolfhounds) were a nice touch to this countryside castle hotel.

Loved the amazing decor and it truly felt like we were living in a castle for a day! Many historical pieces, beautiful rooms to relax in and explore, and we even played chess! One note- the upper floors are VERY stuffy and hot even on the cooler days, it would be nice to have a larger fan and/or something to help stay cool (the one in the room was very small)

This was the best property! The room was gorgeous and the staff was amazing! If I came back to the area I would only stay here. It was worth every penny! Everyone should experience this place once. We had room 903 with the separate living area.
