Rustic, historic and truly memorable
Pros:

We had a 1 night stay here as we were fortunate enough to be gusts at a wedding venue nearby. Momentous occasion for myself therefore the excitement levels were hard to contain. Well folks, what can I say? I was extremely pleased with this hotel. The chap at the reception showed exceptional customer service to check us in and personally take us to our room. The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. A win for me. The breakfast the following morning by was great, an array of choices both hot and cold. The grounds were well kept and the location was not far from Carlisle. I tremendous stay. I’ll be back

Hat mir sehr gefallen
Pros:

Alles in allem ein romantisches Schlösschen mit viel Charme und sehr sehr nettem Personal

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu meckern, aber man merkt schon, dass das Schloss etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist und doch ein wenig Reparaturstau herrscht.
Würde trotzdem jederzeit wieder hier übernachten.
