Really enjoyed it, room was nice and breakfast was very good as well. Had afternoon sandwiches at the Brassiere and then ate at the 1851 in the evening. Wine cellar bar was very nice as well. Will visit again.

Stayed for our Anniversary. Beautiful location. Reception staff friendly. Breakfast staff were amazing. Hairdryer packed up as cheap and no replacement. Bath panel Bradley marked and chipped. No biscuits with tea in room on arrival. Main restaurant very limited as set 7 course meal at £75 per person very expensive. Being able to explore the castle was a great bonus. Bath tubs with flowers in at entrance not fitting for grandeur of place. Would like to see brasserie open as bar during day. Perhaps a welcome drink for guests would be a nice touch.

Spectacular venue. Good food. Attentive service. But our room was a little tired looking, a bedsheet was soiled and our room was stocked with too little milk sachets and loo roll. Felt like penny pinching.

Staff were very helpful. Cleaners are doing a brilliant job. Breakfast was just warm and porridge not cook through. Gritting also served with jam and strawberries instead of raspberries and strawberries.

Fantastic

Unfortunately only stayed for one night but staff was friendly, room was nice and clean, bed was comfortable and the whole setting and being in a castle is just a great setting for special occasions.
