Lovely hotel set in stunning surroundings. The room was spotlessly cleaned daily, great attention from the housekeeping staff. As you should expect with it being a castle the sound insulation is not as per a purpose built hotel so we could hear conversations, music, tv etc from the people in the room above. The food at the hotel is plentiful and of good quality but perhaps limited in choice for the dinner menu.
