Brilliant, we will return.
Beautiful property with excellent staff, a wonderful hotel to explore.
Stunning estate, wonderful service and fantastic food and just incredible surroundings. We loved every moment of our stay. We also had little children and the staff made us feel welcome, even though it's obviously not as common for families with small children to stay. The kids loved exploring the castle/estate and grounds, the High Tea, aviary, gardens with berries to pick etc. We very much hope to be back in the future.
It was one of our best stays in UK. The castle was impressive in many ways, the facilities were new, the decorations were new, the food In restaurants were marvelous!
Fantastic property, great service. Would avoid courtyard facing rooms due to lack of privacy.
