Absolutely stunning views, lovely room, beautiful location. Supper left much to be desired: the pheasant was quite dry and overcooked.

We read the Google reviews before booking this hotel for a night and we got a bit scared because they were not that good but they were from 3-4 years ago. Apparently it has changed because we had a really nice experience at the castle hotel, personnel was nice and caring, the diner and breakfast (included in the celebration package we took) were really good, refined and a bit on the rich side. If I had to find a negative point I would say that a Spa would be a great addition to the experience.

An unpretentious, comfortable country hotel set in beautiful grounds where you are well looked after. We could have meals by roaring fires on comfortable sofas or in the dining room, we chose the former. The staff were out of this world exceptional and the food delicious.

Stayed here for one night to celebrate my partner's birthday. I'd booked the special package 4 poster bed room (Winton room). It was everything I'd hoped for with the roaring fire in the reception area, comfy sofas in the lounge areas and a little bar. We received a friendly welcome and the team had even put a birthday card in the room for my partner, alongside the chocs and Prosecco (special package).
The dinner was delicious and the service was calm and well timed. We both felt so relaxed the whole time. Someone else described the place as like staying at a (wealthy) friend's residence rather than a hotel. This feeling for me was what made it so relaxing. The staff didn't fuss but were there if you needed anything and left you to enjoy the spaces. Staying here felt like a warm hug, if that makes any sense.
