This is a beautiful property. We dined like royalty and the breakfast was very very good. Our restaurant waiter was very professional and did a great job describing the wine pairings. Our room was truly magnificent. We stayed in the queen Mary room. It was truly a bucket list item for me. The castle is a must do for history lovers and romantics.

Had a wonderful staff and as a coeliac they even prepared afternoon tea at short notice which was delightful. Once again was not let down in the evening with a Gluten Free menu and had a wonderful meal. My only criticism was at Breakfast no Gluten Free menu and the waitress was no very helpful just kept trying to push the avocado onto me as gluten free but I'm not a fan of avocado and felt like I wasn't a priority on my dietary needs so ended up with just fruit salad full of apple and yogurt and toast that was cold and tough. Otherwise our stay was perfect

The castle was a true castle and maintained well. The staff is every area we’re kind and friendly. This is a very nice place to enjoy adult only accommodations and my wife and I would stay here again if ever in the area. Food was also top quality and served as if you were at a 5 star restaurant.

This place is a hidden gem, we had the most amazing time and everyone was so friendly and kind, the bed was so comfortable it helped us with the jet lag, it was also fantastic that the room had a fan as we are use to sleeping with one at home. Breakfast and dinner were out of this world and we arrived 30 mins late to breakfast and they said no trouble and sat us immediately. We cannot wait to return and it was the perfect start to our anniversary trip!

The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows so weak they really could have been nonexistent. The bathroom was nice and clean but the toilet had to be flushed a few times before it worked properly. The staff answered most of the questions we asked but offered nothing unless asked. Charlotte and Leann (servers at bar) need to find different work or take a course on customer service. It would have been nice to see a manager once in a three night stay. We never had dinner because it was just crazy expensive. We had breakfast three times which was very good. At check out they did not apply our Expedia credit. We e-mailed them after and credit was given. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

We booked two rooms for a special occasion - we were allocated the Anne Boleyn and our daughter’s had the Audley rooms, both overlooking St Mary’s Church where we got married. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, dinner in the library was fabulous and breakfast was perfect. We even had good weather. Will definitely stay again
