Fabulous! We highly recommend.
Pros:

We stayed one night only to visit the observatory; unfortunately it was a cloudy night so we didn't see any s-tars, but the stay was so lovely we didn't even notice! The room was immaculate, large and very comfortable. The breakfast was the best breakfast we've had in the UK in a very long time! And finally the staff couldn't be faulted, everyone we spoke to, from the reception staff to the lady who cleaned our room was friendly and happy. Outstanding place, we will definately be back!

Cons:

Nothing

Already planning our next stay at Battlesteads
Pros:

We arrived after a 7 hour-long journey, somewhat tired, with two very hungry kids, and with barely enough time to unpack and go to the observatory next door, where we had booked for one of the sessions. The lady at the reception was very accommodating and managed to squeeze us in for dinner before our observatory visit. The food was absolutely superb, fresh and delicious, and the service fast and attentive. Our rooms (1 in main building, the other an outside cottage) were fantastic too - spacious, comfortable, very well appointed, and with amenities that exceeded expectations. We all had an excellent night and would have stayed in bed much longer if it hadn't been because we had a full, delicious breakfast expecting us, and we had to leave to continue with our trip. We have however promised ourselves that we will be back very soon - it's definitely worth the journey!
