Pros:

The outside from the hotel looks very nice.
The dinner is reasonable okay, and so is breakfast.
Also the staff was very helpful.

Cons:

Inside the place needs to be refurbished, looks dated/worn out wherever you are in the hotel. It also gives you zero impression from the inside that you are in a Castle environment, could be any hotel.

The bathrooms are too old, paint coming off etc. needs to be redone.
The bed in room 211 was terrible, I could feel the spirals coming through.
The so called Leisure Club is in a poor state, better to close it for now.

Overall disappointing stay for us.

Greaat place to stay - nice and quiet - stayed before!
Pros:

dinner was OK as was Breakfast.

Cons:

The signage to the warren of rooms was very confusing and need clarifying. Easy to put signs on both sides of the corridor, The 4th and 5th floors are confusing as I went to the third floor. but access is through the fisrt only. Perhaps colour coding would be easier to understand
