    stunning grounds
    delightful staff
    cleanliness issues
    slow service

    Here’s the good and the not-so-good

    Stunning grounds and delightful dogs greet you at the entrance. Breakfast served by the wonderful Joe and Doreen was fantastic. The staff truly make your stay feel special.

    A few guests mentioned cleanliness issues in the rooms and delays in meal service at breakfast, which detracted from their experience.

    claw-foot tub
    confusing check-in

    The claw-foot tub was a delightful surprise, and the

    room offered an incredible amount of space, which made our stay comfortable. However, we found the check-in process to be slightly confusing, which was a bit off-putting at first.

    very nice food
    royal treatment

    Couples who appreciate luxury should stay here

    The food was very nice, especially the Lamb Shank dinner. The staff treated us like royalty, always ready to help, which made the experience even better.

    It wasn’t cheap, but worth every penny.

    The gorgeous decor captured my heart, especially the cozy sitting areas with antique furniture. The only downside was the delayed service at breakfast. Overall, it was such a magical retreat! 🌟

    spacious lounges
    relaxing atmosphere
    limited accessibility
    dining area inconvenience

    The beautifully restored interiors and elegant decor created a magical atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the spacious lounges with large windows and plush seating, perfect for relaxing. Accessibility was good, making it easy for seniors to navigate the castle.

    More accessible options in dining areas would be helpful.

    beautiful grounds
    friendly staff
    delightful breakfast
    limited kid-friendly activities

    Staying in the castle was magical! The grounds were beautiful, and we loved the gardens and the forest path. My kids enjoyed meeting the friendly dogs roaming around, and the breakfast was truly delightful. Special thanks to the lovely staff for making our stay memorable!

    In my kids’ opinion, adding more kid-friendly activities would be fantastic.
