From the moment we were greeted at the entrance by the smiling doorman we felt vey welcome. We were offered a spacious room with a beautiful view of the castle and a lovely surprise awaited as it was my husband’s birthday a complimentary sweet platter and bottle of wine had been left, along with a hand written card. The breakfast selection was good and served in the famous ‘Peacock Alley’. Overall all the staff seemed delighted to be welcoming guests again and that joy radiated from every single person we dealt with. A super experience overall!

As soon as we arrived we were very well taken care of, from the valet parking to the reception. Once registered we received a room upgrade which was unexpected but a very nice gesture and made our stay that little bit more special.
