"A wonderful place to stay, very picturesque grounds and its history with additions give it a unique and warm feeling. You can tell that although the castle has had extensive work done to keep it in good condition, it still maintains a royal feeling. The range of rooms are good to suit all types of stays, there was a wedding going on while I was there and I can imagine it’s a wonderful place to host such an event. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful, from the reception desk to the restaurant staff and the cleaners. The food was amazing, and the restaurant space again was special without feeling too intimidating with very kind and accommodating staff. I would highly recommend a stay here, well worth the trip!"
