Beautiful and private

Cons:

I paid and was excited to stay in a castle and got put in an outside building. I should have been given an option for the price I paid.

Good but could have been better for the cost
Pros:

Shae was excellent and very helpful. The Cedars restaurant food was excellent. Room size was good. The welcome was great.

Cons:

We had to request our room to be made up at 5pm. Out of a 3 night stay we only had one turn down service. The breakfast was average and could have had more variety. The steam room wasn’t working. The castle tour by Michael could have been more engaging and interactive.

I would recommend the hotel, but check the spa before you book it just to make sure it suits you.
Pros:

Lovely hotel and surroundings, quiet place, staff was friendly. I asked for an oat latte at the reception it was before 6 o’clock in the morning and was served with one. It was amazing because I get up early.

Cons:

Spa. It was outdated and kind of far from the main building. Also the hot tub was for 2 people, but they still took 3 of us and charged for 3. Never informed us that their hot tubs are for 2 people.

Beautiful hotel but disappointing junior suite detracted from the stay.
Pros:

The hotel itself is a beautiful building and the historical talk at 1100 was wonderful. The breakfast was very good.

Cons:

The junior suite was very average. The sitting room was almost unusable due to the TV being hard mounted on the wall but not facing the seating. The first floor room was on a main hallway next to the front desk and was very noisy especially late at night and early in the morning. Especially for the very high price the junior suite was unimpressive.
