The trip was for a birthday treat for my daughter and partner, both said everything was wonderful, the staff were SO attentive, food lovely, castle beautiful, and their room amazing. Also did their Escape room which was described by my daughter as 'awesome' and so much fun. A very successful trip.

Castle experience.

Superb hotel, friendly staff, super clean and wonderful food. We booked a courtyard room, got upgraded to a castle room my husband and I were really made up. Our friends had a courtyard room and loved it both rooms had comfortable beds.
