Absolutely gorgeous grounds with a mixture of gardens, ruins and even a henge! Our room was huge with massize bay windows but had an overwhelming odor of cologne. Fortunately it aired out after a while.

Really beutifiul setting and picturesque castle. room was huge, comfy bed, some fittings such as hairdrier a bit dated. the spa is nice, although you only get a strict one hour in the hot tub when you book in, which is a bit of a shame

The worst I have ever seen! This is not 4 star hotel and definitely not luxurious. It should be closed down! We've been put in the room with mold and rotten doors! Damp coming through the ceiling and no soap in the shower with lots of red bacteria growing everywhere! We immediately went to reception to ask for a room without the mold and they couldn't care less and said they are fully booked. We had to leave the hotel and the whole bank holiday weekend was ruined because we couldn't get into another hotel due to everywhere being fully booked!

Had a wonderful stay for one night. It is a castle and do not expect the luxury of a 5 star hotel as they are keeping it authentic. Good sized. Bathroom and very comfortable. Great grounds that you can walk for miles. Staff excellent and dining room superb.
