Acceptable stay overall

the four poster bed was lovely it provided a nice touch. seats were fit for a king and queen the room felt grand. wardrobes were a decent size they easily accommodated two people. the superior king room decor was beautiful.
the split level suite lacked a mini fridge this was a significant oversight. the radiators emitted excessive heat even when turned off it made the room uncomfortable. the bathroom looked dated it needed a refresh.

underwhelming castle stay
well kept groundsmusty smellnon-functional tv
the location felt quite remote, but the grounds seemed well kept at least.
my room looked tired and smelled musty. the tv didn't work, and the staff didn't seem too concerned with resolving it. breakfast ended too early and i almost missed it.
