Gorgeous Castle
We stayed in a courtyard room. It was beautiful. Really warm and cosy. Beautiful bathroom with large walk-in shower. Kettle, tea, coffee,milk and biscuits provided. We had our dinner in the bar and the food was amazing as was the breakfast. The whole place is spotless. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous. We had a walk through the forest. The staff are lovely and can't do enough for you.Definitely recommend.

Hotel was amazing but the dining was lacking due to quality of the food was pour between price, taste (very bland, almost flavorless), and the steak was very tough.

Our stay was absolutely fabulous! The room we had was beautiful and clean. I think we had the best night's sleep of our life on the most comfortable bed ever. The castle grounds were so pretty and easy to walk around. Dining experiences were wonderful and delicious.
