Wonderful Stay at Historic Castle

I enjoyed the beautiful grounds with forest walking trails. Breakfast on site was convenient and very tasty (especially the porridge!). Staff interaction was amazing. They were very attentive to my needs.
I observed some wear in places, expected in a castle turned into a hotel, but it could be addressed.

An Okay Experience

salvaged timberwoodland walksthin wallmisleading pictures
I liked the bar. It has timber salvaged from shipwrecks. I also liked the woodland walks. The views up the river are good.
My room did not look like the rooms online. I feel like I was misled. There was thin wall in my room. I hear the people next door talking at 1am.
