Very enjoyable
My boyfriend and I had a lovely 3 night stay at this wonderful hotel. Staff were very pleasent and acomdating and catered for our pet dog. Wonderful surroundings and civer lots of history. Had a lovely old feel and very relaxed attitude and not stuck up. Not the most modern but you can get that anywhere. Brilliant architecture. Would visit again.

Few improvements still needed
Went for two nights but different this time ,the lovely library bar not open any more in castle ,and berties restaurant closed, have to use other bar and restaurant now which nowhere near good enough as the other two, The rooms lovely ,clean and warm include bath etc cleanliness of rooms excellent but why the toilets in the castle itself look like something from 1960 i dont know,i know its a castle and want to keep it looking like one, but i feel the toilets should be brought up to date now,as im sure it would put a lot of people' off getting married in the castle with toilets of that standard. Obviously not a criticism of stay but just a few improvements neeeded.

Room 207, prince of wales suite, 13/10/24
Absolutely stunning place most staff were lovely, only thing to let it down, the cleanliness, the bedside tables near the sockets was a thick layer of dust and in the bathroom roller blind was full of squashed bugs (just a lack of attention to detail).and part of the bath was broken and the breakfast was pretty standard, but we stayed in room 207, the prince of wales suite and the room was gorgeous and we went on a walk round the grounds was amazing, the woman who greeted us at reception was lovely I didn’t catch her name but she had short hair and glasses, made us feel very welcomed,
