Pre Christmas Relaxation
We were fortunate to visit while the hotel had a Christmas craft fayre this gave something extra to do as the weather was not great
We would love to visit again as tge local riverside walk looked like it would allow exploration of the area
We had to remind staff about our Prosecco on 3 occasions which has impacted our rating
2 night stay
We stayed here for 2night package.
Room was lovely, clean and warm. Bathroom could do with more character to reflect the castle.
Library bar was fabulous and staff very attentive.
Evening dinner and service in knights restaurant was disappointing as had to return food as not warm enough and no table service re another drink!
Breakfast was fabulous just like the staff serving it.
Overall it was ok, nothing special considering the price.
Very noisy unable to sleep
This place is so beautiful. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous. The staff are absolutely fantastic. Only things that spoilt it are that there are so many tables crammed into the restaurant that we were unable to have our beautiful food carved at the table which is part of the experience. The room was very noisy with wedding part to the side and above up and we were unable to sleep. Something was banging in the wind all night on our window, the window was also broken. Not what I would of expected.
