Lovely place. Friendly and comfortable.

Stayed just the one night but the staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Comfy beds, lovely linens and everything worked, even if it's a little worn round the edges in some places (well it is an old place after all!) Quiet and peaceful location.

Another hotel room that looks like it hasn't changed since the 50's. Small, cramped and extremely dated, I thought my money would have provided something nicer.

Oh, to nose around all the rooms

Beautiful building and surroundings with interesting explanation of the history. Our room was OK but I wished we had spent the extra money to stay in the castle itself as in the annexe we could have been in any anonymous hotel rather than in a historic monument. It was clean and we had no issues. The service in. the restaurant was good and breakfast was excellent. We would definitely stay again but upgrade to the main castle
