Wonderful property with excellent staff.
Pros:

The main castle is a wonderful old building full of history. There are rooms in the main castle but we stayed in one of the castle view rooms sited in a small annexe across the front lawn just a couple of minutes stroll to the main building. The dining room is very elegant and the food is wonderful. All the front of house staff were friendly helpful and professional.
Although there was an issue with booking in, when we finally got our keys we were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room.

Cons:

Our room wasn't available until 30 minutes after the booking in time, housekeeping claimed the reason was the heat, considering all rooms are air conditioned maybe they should look for a more plausible excuse 🤔
It would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room enabling us to keep some drinks cold and milk fresh.
Although we were allocated a room with an adapted bathroom for the disabled with really good access (handy for myself having some mobility issues) I did notice all the emergency pull cords had been tied up and hung at least 4'6" high certainly not in reach of a disabled person if they have had a fall and need emergency assistance.

Amazing location and castle itself sadly cant be said about the room and the description of it!
Pros:

The castle itself is fantastic and with great history, it also offers a bit of a tour of the castle itself which was done really well by the waiter superb job well done with the knowledge and enthusiasm etc.

Cons:

We were rather disappointed with our room which was actually a suite.
1. The room sadly came with a pull out sofa bed which the sofa was what we wanted to relax on, but this is old and had a terrible sweaty smell to it which sadly disappointed us as no where for us to relax on and the room was very musty they obviously tried to air it out before our arrival with all the windows open.
2. The suite that we stayed in is actually sold as a room with a castle view. Maybe 10 years ago when the tress were not smack in front of our room again rather disappointed with this.

Castle Experience
Pros:

What a fantastic experience staying in a proper 14th century castle. The free castle guided tour including the ramparts, banquet hall and chapel was fun , informative and worth all the flights of stairs . The staff were friendly and very helpful. I lost count of how many times staff member asked if they could help with our bags. In hind sight I should have let them. Climbing a spiral staircase carry cases to the Percy room was no mean feat . The evening meal was excellent. Definitely fine dining. All in all our anniversary treat at the castle will not be forgotten for a long time.

Cons:

Nothing not to like.
