Peckforton Castle  

The fact that it was different to any other hotel we have stayed in.

The lack of choice for vegetarian meals. A fitness room and swimming pool would have been nice.

I saw peckforton castle on a friends facebook page so i decided to keep it as a reference for myself oneday. I booked up peckforton castle as a romantic birthday suprise for my girlfriend and me, on arrival we were stunned of how big the castle was and how beautiful the castle looking lit up at night, inside the castle was absolutely beautiful we were both very impressed and excited for our stay, our room was grand, the staff were very nice and welcoming, the food was gorgeous and just the whole experience being at such a lovely place was outstanding.... we cant fault peckforton castle at all, we both had a great night and would highly recommend staying at the castle, we will definately be staying here again sometime in the future

We did'nt like that we had to leave

castle,location,pleasant staff

size of executive room which was not what I was expecting,wafer thin walls between adjacent bedroom

Fascinating building

Limited public areas, lounges etc

It was a beautiful restored medieval castle. Very well maintained. To get to our room, we got to climb the old circular staircase in one of the towers. Our room was in the tower. Stunning views. Beautiful bathrooms with a towel warmer. A real experience. Lovely falcons owl and birds that were outside in the morning so you could go see the raptors.

We were two adults traveling with our 18 year old daughter. We booked a room for three adults. They took a regular room for two and squeezed in a third bed at the foot of our bed. There was barely room to walk around the bed let alone a place for our suitcases. I know they had a fire last summer so some rooms are being worked on. But that was not a room for three adults.

Staff & food were fab

Wonderful setting, delightful ambience, fantastic

After arriving in the car park, I was struggling with luggage & was spotted by staff passing by. They immediately rushed over to assist & walked me to reception - Thanks boys! The castle itself is stunning - the woodland setting, the birds of prey etc. The room I shared with a friend (we were attending a wedding) was small, but was ideal for our needs & was very comfortable. As a setting for a wedding it was amazing. We all had a fantastic time. Food was lovely. Would definitely recommend!!

The service and rooms were excellent. Staff could not have done more for us particularly our disabled son.

One meal in the brasserie was of poor quallity but another was good and enjoyable.

The Castle sleeping experience and the nature wildlife

smelling badroom and expensive restaurant

lovely setting

price of drinks

The location and surroundings are beautiful and make for good photographs with great backdrops. The castle is very luxurious with improvements being made constantly. The hotel and spa staff were very helpful and friendly with good local knowledge the food at the pheasant inn they recommended was lovely. The bar and food prices are fair considering the location. If you look carefully you will see alot of wildlife that you don't normally see that won't run away upon seeing you. Being able to see the birds of prey sat outside on their perches was great to appreciate the size and beauty of them. The location is great if you are walker and like the open countryside and is within a short drive of the local attractions.

It's a big castle but don't expect a guided tour. There are alot of rooms that are quite spectacular but unless you are wedding or business guest you won't get to experience all of them. We were allowed to have a look round after speaking with staff and were escorted by a friendly porter. We stayed initially in an executive double complete with four poster bed sadly it became obvious that the room hadn't been cleaned properly for some time with unhealthy layers of dust on top of the bed and around the bed drapes and in the bathroom. It is a castle so I was expecting a little dust but this had obviously been overlooked for some time. No other rooms were available of that spec so had to settle for a move to a standard double and was refunded the difference and had our meal deducted from the bill. We left feeling a bit dejected having arrived with high expectations the staff were very good and even recommended but let themselves down with the attention to detail.
