Excellent service, beautiful ground and building
Pros:

The staff and the services are outstanding.

Cons:

The dinner with tasting menu was overpriced with dishes served too slow. The property is really not as accessible for handicapped as it could be but it is acceptable for such a historical building.

Outstanding and highly recommended!
Pros:

Gracious Castle resort hotel in stunning grounds with so much to experience. Only stayed for one night but wish I had booked for 2-3 days. Offers golf, spa, walking trails, indoor thermal & pool area plus other outdoor activities. Dinner was excellent and breakfast extensive. Staff are attentive, friendly and respectful.
