Staff were so friendly and helpful. Castle grounds were nice. Castle itself was nice as well. There is currently scaffolding covering one side. There was a wedding there so we couldn't go into the library cuz it was reserved for them.

Scary experience

We arrived at 11pm and were told we booked a room in Castle Rock not the main Castle. Finding Castle Rock in the dark with no signs or street lights was a nightmare. When we managed to find Castle Rock, it looked like a deserted house from a horror movie. Pitch black with no lights on anywhere. We eventually came back to the main castle and decided to upgrade to stay in the Castle, there was no one at the front desk, we used the walkie-talkie at the front desk, still nothing. After almost 15mins, someone came to the front desk. It’s one of the worst experiences had.

Disappointing Overall Experience

The castle is a stunning building from the outside. Once inside, however, you are in a very tired environment. The hotel is in desperate need of some investment/renovation. The food was delicious and elegantly presented. Some of the service was first class while the majority was sub-par. No value for money.

The hotel advertised itself as pet friendly. When we arrived with our dog they told us we would have to stay in the lodge , not the room in the castle I had originally reserved,because they didn’t allow dogs in the castle. Then they gave us an inferior room up 2 flights of stairs that I had to climb with my bad knees. I was extremely disappointed.

We had a superb and enormous tower bedroom in this wonderful old castle, which is full of public areas to read and chill. Hugely atmospheric. Highly recommended.
