to get started.

Kippers for breakfast were excellent once again. Dinner was also tasty and better than previous visit.

James, United Kingdom

Experience of a life time. Fantastic rooms staff were excellent and very good at making u feel at home. Best hotel I've stayed at was fantastic

Andrew, United Kingdom

Room and Bed in excellent taste, in keeping with the age and era of the castle.

Leslie, United Kingdom

The bedrooms were impressively clean, in general the staff were helpful and pleasant.

Michael, United Kingdom

We were offered an upgraded room because of personal reasons

C, United Kingdom

The room was comfortable, well appointed and a bit more than the ordinary. An excellent breakfast was available and I had bar meals rather than eat in the restaurant. The food was good even if there could have been a bit more mash of the plate.

Richard, United Kingdom

The hotel was as we expected ... old furnishings & little tired areas as in keeping. Very atmospheric with lots of history. Lounge & bar had log fires burning....lovely. Staff on late arrival were very welcoming. The breakfast staff were lovely too.

Michael, United Kingdom

Friendly and informative staff, nothing was to much trouble.

Robin, United Kingdom

Lovely place, friendly staff, bath was massive! I disappeared in it ❤️

Craig, United Kingdom

Great castle and great location. Is a great place to stay and would go again.

눇Room and Bed in excellent taste, in keeping with the age and era of the castle.

눉bedroom 5 was upstairs, because of beamed ceiling floor area was reduced by a large amount, room was scruffy, bathroom had grout missing from floor tiles, cracked tile on wall, if you wanted a relaxing bath, no chance as someone had installed a jet engine in the ceiling to take steam away, stairs to room poorly light, service in bar dreadful, two totally untrained bar staff had difficulty saying good evening, room next to library bar has filthy table tops and furniture fit for nothing. overall very disappointed would suggest manager/owner has a serious look at points raised.

눉Unfortunately no cask ales, but there were bottles of brown ale. A quirky feature is the need to go through a courtyard between reception and the bar / restaurant. Depending on which room you are in, this might mean going out in the rain!
눇The room was comfortable, well appointed and a bit more than the ordinary. An excellent breakfast was available and I had bar meals rather than eat in the restaurant. The food was good even if there could have been a bit more mash of the plate.
