Underwhelming Ambiance, Good Food.

dreary ambiance lacking flair
The breakfast was freshly cooked. That was a welcome change.
The castle's general ambiance felt dreary to me. The decor looked like a warehouse catalogue selection, lacking flair. I found it disappointing.

The staff was very professional and cute. Our room was clean, and the bed was comfortable! Fluffy towels and robes were provided, along with a nice tea and coffee selection.
The beef tasted like dry braised blocks at Sunday dinner. The Yorkshire puddings also were not good. They tasted awful and stodgy. It is a shame because they used to be great.

The building is fabulous with beautiful decor. our room included dressing gowns and even a flask of iced water. The attention to detail was clear. I felt so cared for. the staff were amazing and made sure we wanted for nothing
we found that arranging an evening meal on arrival was difficult. this was a challenge though we quickly found an alternative at a local shop.
