    Treated ourselves to a night in a castle. Upgraded on arrival to a Baronial room. Lots of stairs to get to the but well worth the climb. Had a lovely dinner in the basement, no need to leave the hotel once you arrive. Good breakfast.

    Can not think of anything that we didn't like or enjoy.. Cable TV had limited channels but not an issue for us.

    The castle, grounds and room exceeded ozr expectations. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. The dinning rooms ( we ate in Monk's Room) was beautiful and the food and servivce was excellent. WITHOUT A DOUBT WE WILL BE BACK!!!!!

    I would have to really nitpick to find fault. It’s an old building with a few quirks, but they just added to the charm. As an art connoisseur, I would appreciate better walk art, but really, the whole was wonderful.

    The staff was uniformly professional and extremely friendly. We loved our spacious and light filled room. Would happily stay her again.

    We only were able to stay one night- not enough!

    The staff were very welcoming! The grounds were beautiful as well, and the castle was very comfortable- lots of places to sit and read/relax apart from the room.

    The only complaints were the water coming out of shower head was either scalding hot or devils inferno. And I didn't want to take a bath because there were weird chunks in the tub. Also dust bunnies and spider webs in corners, maybe that adds to the ambience of a castle?

    It was mostly all good! Very accommodating staff and decent food. Cool place. Don't make the mistake we did and not visit the dungeon bar, we missed out!

    Be aware - No elevator! But that only added to the historical value!! Pack a light overnight case separate from your other luggage and leave the rest in your car!!

    The HISTORY!!! The ARCHITECTURE!!! The STORIES! Again - The HISTORY!! The Archeological value is off the charts!

    Beautiful country side drive. I can’t even explain in words how much I loved the castle and owners. Our tour was informative and personal. I had to choke back the tears when we left. I wish I could have stayed longer.

    Only mark down was the breakfast, very small portions (Veggie Breaky). Mushrooms were meager, one sausage, few beans and tomato. Mushrooms cost very little, I'd suggest potatoes to be added to the breakfast also.

    Authentic castle stay set on a beautiful location and grounds. Had the vegetarian burger which was savage. Pints of Guinness were spot on. Special mention to the staff who are mostly kids and on the ball. Will stay again.

    Don't like a shower over the bath at our age. The bathroom was huge so plenty of room for a shower recess. The bed was uncomfortable and we hit our heads on the wooden frame. We were 3 floors up with only stairs so I asked for a porter to help with our luggage as we had a 7am departure but no-one arrived.

    We loved the history of the castle. The Dungeon Bar was great. Our room was very spacious. We were unable to have breakfast as we had an early departure so we received a small discount on our dinner to compensate.

    No elevator or handicap accommodations. A lot of steps between the uneven levels of the building. Lots of dust and grit - understandable in an old building. The pancakes were a bit chewy - need to be lighter and fluffier.

    The reception staff went out of the way to ensure we had a reservation for dinner. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were lovely. Loved Boots the castle cat!
