Неудобно держать фен, нажимая на клавишу чтобы он работал.
Pros:

Прекрасный отель в замке.
Впечатления самые лучшие.
Гостинные прекрасные, просто нет слов. Поражает обилие исторических объектов. Территория тоже волшебная.
Хороший завтрак, в чудесном ресторане. Ужин так же был вкусный, порции огромные!
Все понравилось! Спасибо владельцам!

Pros:

Funcionários educados, café da manhã e jantar muito bons. Hotel muito bonito, jardins muito bem cuidados.

Cons:

Entendo que pela estrutura do hotel não há possibilidade, mas não há ar condicionado nem frigobar no quarto. Isso em dias quentes pode prejudicar a estadia.

A wonderful stay in a Beautiful Castle
Pros:

Had a wonderful stay at Cabra Castle. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The castle's interior and grounds are beautifully maintained, and the bar food was excellent. A fantastic experience—we'd happily return! Not a Ghost to ne heard or seen 🫣🤗

Cons:

Only down fall was the mattress on the bed think it’s time they could be updated as when checked it looked old

Overrated
Pros:

The castle is beautiful but the guest experience was dreadful. Staff is not prepared to deal with international guests.
Waiting time is unacceptable and combined with early check out means you have the room for barely a few hours

Cons:

Pleasant stay but unlikely to revisit
Pros:

Breakfast was very good.
Olde world charm of place.
Beautiful grounds and outside dining area.
Waitress Kaitlyn was very friendly and chatty.
Excellent hotel for weddings
Stayed 2 nights in room within one of six lodges, located 3 minutes walk from hotel - competitively-priced.

Cons:

Staff were ok. Reception staff - before asking if we had ever stayed at hotel before, rather first words were to tell us price and that payment would be necessary up front.
Evening meal - satisfactory but service very slow, despite having no less than 6 different staff members coming to our table asking about drinks, etc
Location - poor.

Not very well sign posted in the Castle it was like a maze trying to find your way around.
Cons:

Breakfast was served like a lunch canteen not what you’d expect from a castle food was on plastic plates the coffee and tea was poured from flasks at your table no pots made fresh very disappointed

A lovely stay helped by the glorious weather and very helpful staff
Pros:

I thought the fresh fruit was very limited to melon and pineapple ,which were cut in rather large chunks . I would have expected a wider range of fruit

Cons:

It was difficult to access the plug behind the bedside locker in order to recharge my phone . Had to move the locker to get at the plug . Maybe there were other plugs more accessible but I didn’t see them
