Our stay at the castle was a mix of enchanting ambiance and some frustrating issues. The unique experience of being in a castle is unmatched, and the service was commendable. However, we encountered serious plumbing smells that dampened our romantic getaway. While the food was delightful and staff were attentive, the overall experience was marred by maintenance problems that weren't resolved satisfactorily.

Staying at the castle was a mixed experience for me. While the beautiful grounds and unique atmosphere are certainly captivating, the quality of the rooms and dining left me wanting more. The staff was friendly, but service inconsistencies detracted from the overall enjoyment of my stay. Given the price, I expected a bit more attention to detail and improved dining offerings.

I had a wonderful time at the castle, with stunning architecture and picturesque grounds that really set the mood. The room was charming and clean, providing a cozy refuge, though the view wasn't great. While the food was satisfying, the service at the bar could definitely use improvement, which detracted from an otherwise lovely stay. Overall, it's a unique experience but with room for enhancements in the hospitality aspect.

We had a memorable stay at this castle hotel, celebrating our anniversary with lovely afternoon tea and delightful dining experiences. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel appreciated. However, we did face a slight disappointment when the wine cellar was closed for a wedding photoshoot, which limited our options for drinks. The surrounding grounds are inviting, perfect for relaxing walks, making it a beautiful retreat despite the occasional hiccup.
