Best Western Studley Castle  

The staff were extremely helpful, polite and welcoming. Our room was very clean and well equipped. The castle itself is lovely - we really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to others.

Good modern bedrooms

I arrived for breakfast at 7.25 and no eggs of any variety were available on the buffet. I told a waitress and also ordered poached eggs. I left at 7.47 without them being served.

Stunning setting

room was damp and dirty [a smell of rotting wood] despite the reception aware of the problem no offer of another room. food was over priced and poor. place was understaffed and cold ,total lack of atmosphere.the sliced fruit at breakfast was dried out and curled up at the edges. With only four people in the resturant,I was asked if I had made a reservation,Then told it would be a five minute wait and could I go and have a drink in the bar first ,The same bar without any staff. Christmas party season and the place was empty...make your own mind up.

The illusion of staying in a grand castle,with the snow falling it was magical,will be returning soon.

The public rooms were not warm,but being it was so cold outside maybe it could'nt cope,but our bedroom was lovely and warm.

Location is excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice and quite.

Castle location spoilt by proximity of outer buildings. Shower cubical in room was falling appart.

Good location, pleasant staff and reasonable price

Room was a little pokey, but for the price was acceptable. There was a lingering smell in the room, like damp which was slightly off-putting by the morning

The approach to the floodlit facade along the avenue of Wellingtonias is almost worth the money! The chain-store stair caps and cheap-skate candelabra- lamp holders (strraight out of Woolworths 1970) in the dining room are an initial culture-shock but somehow add to the wacky appeal - for a fleeting moment you wonder - is it comandeered by the post-revolutionary forces, the Ministry of Utilities, or the yha? Fake mouldings in quite nice small bedroom continue to cast a sub-Hollywood spell - the late Ken Russell on a low budget? Overall, the aura is of a lack of pretension in a memorable. Even unique, setting: I loved it and will definiately stay again. Far better than the best possible taste at five times the price. Oh! And I almost forgot - the food and service was fine. For some reason the Castle is not named on the Ordnance Survey map; there is no tourist sign in Studley; the Best Western standard sign at the drive-end does not do justice to the visual magnificance of the approach (though perhaps offering a clue to the decor).

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, complimentary upgrade due to partners birthday and celebrating anniversary. Conviniently located to attractions and other villages. Perfect location Especially when there is no functions. However, the only negative is the bed caused us both poorly back. Was not comfortable, dipped in the middle. Other than that everything was perfect

Despite fire alarm going off the staff a managed it well

The castle itself - the outside of the castle is spectacular.

It is a shame it was modernised on the inside as the décor is better suited to the 1970's not to a beautiful castle.

The hotel smelt like bad drains which did not encourage me to want to eat in the restaurant.The wifi was not working and I had only picked this hotel as I needed wifi so I could work that evening. The tv had 2 functional channels. The room was dirty, especially the bathroom. Would not recommend.

The castle its self is lovely and the staff are very helpfull and accomadating. The breakfast was also well worth the money and a good selection.

We stayed in a delux double but not sure if I would describe it as delux it seemed fairly standard.

the castle was absoluteley stunning and the staff where very friendly and helpfull.

the food was poor value for money in my opinion, small portion sizes and not particularly great quality.
