    The rooms were in keeping with the character of the castle. There was a great choice for breakfast, which was set on the ground floor, just passed the old dungeon.

    Breakfast was very good. Did not have dinner. The room was fine for single occupancy. Car parking was good with plenty of spaces and no awkward maneuvering required. Receptionist was efficient and friendly.
