Fab with one reservation.

An event of a place. Done really nicely. Great food and service - Molly was a star. My only complaint is a stuffy bedroom as no opening windows or no aircon. Was 27C there. Still enjoyed the stay 👍

This place was absolutely amazing!!! Had THEE best stay. What a fabulous location with spectacular views of a castle, excellent customer service, welcoming accommodations and great food. We had the pleasure of having Glenn as our bartender one night. This guy was a fireball of energy, humor and a wizard with making drinks.

How fun to stay in a castle! This one is accessible but still luxurious. We didn't have time to take advantage of the gorgeous golf course or spa services, but the fine dining restaurant for dinner, breakfast and grounds were everything we were hoping for and more. Would highly recommend and hope to go back!
