Lavish but Friendly Overthetop Place
Pros:

Had to stay in the lodge as castle was booked. Lovely comfy bedroom. But all activities in castle which is actually a Great House not a castle but quite impressive nonetheless. Staff and dinner excellent. Be sure to spend time in the parlor and drawing room which are very period and over-the-top elegant, loaded w/atmosphere. Lovely place - would definitely station here again.

Lovely stay in a castle.
Pros:

Large authentic castle and a newer lodge accommodation on property. Lovely marked trail walk in the woods. Friendly Irish wolf hounds wander around the grounds. Staff very friendly. Included breakfast was quite good. Bar and restaurant on site also very good.

Pros:

What a place, fabolous settings, attention to detail and beautiful surroundings.

Cons:

Our room was very spacious and beautiful but it was also accessible which made the bathroom a bit weird and inconvenient, as it had no shower curtains or walls.
We had dinner in the restaurant, great price for a five course menu and super friendly and efficient staff, the food however was ok but not great.
