We were upgraded to a suite which was out of this world. The only comment for improvement was the heating. The suite was so big the heating never really coped, but a fantastic experience.

Overall good
Staff was very nice and helpful. Bedroom was good, bed on the soft side. Bathroom modernized, but being a bath the shower was a bit weird, as water was going outside. It was ok though and good temperature . The overall room was a bit dated but understandable as it is an old property. Lovely view to next door farms and countryside. A bit of noise could be heard from the next room and even some movement on the wall/ back of the bed. But no outside noises at all. Great lovely gardens and lots of animals around. Spa was very good and lovely outdoors hot tub! Breakfast good, nice dinning area (be sure to reserve your slot on time) . The low points go to the cleaning, it could have been better (some dirt on bathroom and windows). Good location , walk to town. Overall good.

Really beutifiul setting and picturesque castle. room was huge, comfy bed, some fittings such as hairdrier a bit dated. the spa is nice, although you only get a strict one hour in the hot tub when you book in, which is a bit of a shame
