Peaceful place to stay

Great hotel if you want to stay in a castle it is kept to a good standard considering it is a castle , the staff are more than helpful and are all wanting to please you , we had evening meal which was very good which we both enjoyed, we are on a gluten free diet and it was no problem at all for them, the breakfast the next day was also really good , the grounds are also very nice to walk around and explore, we both enjoyed staying here thanks to all the hard working staff we most likely will return

Lovely, characterful place to stay in a beautiful town. Friendly staff, lovely grounds, beautiful country walks just a short walk away, the town was a little quiet on a Tuesday night but we still found a lovely restaurant to eat in. Highly recommended!

Great stay in a Castle

Great stay at a lively castle. Does need some TLC in places but there again it is very old obviously very expensive to keep on top of things. The only real gripe we had was the cost of drinks - £7 a pint!!! Would have loved to spend more time in the bar and the castle grounds but far too expensive for the drinks. Otherwise a fantastic stay and some fabulous scenic walks and a couplebof really nice restaurants in the town. Definitely recommended
