Pros:

We had a great stay at the Castle for a local wedding. Having contacted them beforehand we were able to check in early and get access to one of the rooms to get ready.
Lovely location, view and beer garden - we wish we had stayed longer to enjoy it all.
The free continental breakfast was also appreciated!

Basic and not worth £180 per night
Pros:

Location was nice with good views

Cons:

Having to ask for bedding for a sofa bed at 10pm. None was left (having booked a room with 2 beds I would expect linen for both) apparently I should have made it clear I wanted sheets beforehand ??

No staff on site and no one answering calls on the emergency contact line or responding to texts, 24 hours later and they still haven’t called me back / acknowledged a missed call / text.

Abruptly told they were closed when we arrived at 6.30pm
We needed to check in. They did check us in but wasn’t the warmest of greetings after a long drive.

1 fan for a suite on the hottest night of the year. Only 3 windows out of 7 opened

Pillowcase had make up on.

Characterful pub with rooms
Pros:

Pub with rooms in a characterful 18th century mock castle. Fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. Bar with good food and beer; restaurant with an unexpectedly imaginative menu. And a lovely outdoor area for good weather.

Unusual to sleep in a castle ( even if it is a folly). Stunning views and really good food. Exceeded our expectations.

Pros:

The castle was beautiful, the location very pretty

Cons:

We were put in the tower. The steps leading up to the tower were treacherous! With just a rope to hold on too, which was falling off the wall!!
The shower in the room didn't work! We told the staff but they weren't interested. They said it was normal to have water issues. There was no apologies.
The continental breakfast was poor and the cooked breakfast was poor.

Lovely stay in an amazing place. Even a visit from the resident ghost.
Pros:

Beautiful building with the best views especially from our room up in the tower. Staff couldn’t do enough, friendly and approachable.

Cons:

I would say if you have any mobility issues like myself, the stairs in the tower were a bit of a challenge, but it totally fits in with the property.
