I had an excellent sleep after a long day motorcycling.
Pros:

The hotel was located in fantastic grounds close to the town centre(5 minutes walk).
The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was a bit of a maze to get to the room but quite interesting walking around inside the castle when lost 😆

Cons:

Nothing

A place with history and character
Pros:

We really enjoyed this castle converted to hotel. The grounds were lovely, and the roaming peacocks so beautiful. Our standard room was large and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. Our dogs were made very welcome. The breakfast had plenty of options. Dinner menu was a bit limited but the food was good and reasonably priced.

Cons:

I didn't realise the spa wasn't included. I thought £30 per person was too expensive considering we were staying there so we didn't use it.

Bottom line. Don't stay here if you want everything to be totally pristine. It's an old castle still undergoing maintenance and updating. Do stay if you like something unusual, with character and history.

Wedding.
Pros:

All of the staff were fabulous and friendly.
The decoration of the wedding area was stunning.
The table service and the food was lovely.

Cons:

I think spiders webs could have been given more attention. A general spruce up in the rooms, paintwork etc. steak knives should have been a must with the meal, I probably should have asked at the time. Air-conditioning needs attention.
