Ww wanted an authentic castle stay and that's exactly what it is. Staff were wonderful, bar and restaurant were superb. Castle steeped in history and very comfortable with plenty of lounge areas. Room was spacious and comfortable and we couldn't have enjoyed our stay any.more!

Loved the location, the history, the food and the staff. The only thing I would fix is cobwebs and dust in harder to reach picture frames and such. And I would have loved using the spiral staircases (not for use by guests unless there is an emergency). Loved this place and hope to go back some day,

Perfect for couples. It was quiet with beautiful surroundings. We took a walk to the river from the castle, and it was quiet as though we had the whole grounds to ourselves. The food was delicious and the room was cozy with a spacious bathroom. We were lucky as there was a wedding on and as a result, we were treated to a nighttime fireworks display! For us a 10/10. But be mindful that there is no AC in the room - that didn't bother us but might be an issue for others. Also note it's worth checking if there are events on as we didn't realize that if we had arrived earlier, we could have gone on a tour of the castle and had afternoon tea. We are looking forward to visiting again.
