The staff were amazing. So friendly and accommodating... The facilities were fabulous. We had a deluxe room overlooking the lavender fields... So lovely with the sun shining in during the morning.

The castle and grounds is amazing, very interesting and very beautiful. The Spanish Gallery is incredible - to find such a superb collection here and so well displayed. The Mining Art Gallery is well worth a visit. The wider town is very run-down but great efforts are being made to reinvigorate it and it is beginning to show. The people are also very pleasant. Currently hard to find nice places to stay and to eat out, but that will get better. A new central hotel is currently being built. There are a couple of pleasant cafes and a Wetherspoons in a historic central building. Our second visit, and we will be back again.
