The restaurant is excellent, the staff is wonderful and the property is amazing.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay, food delicious, staff friendly and attentive without being too much. We stayed in a delux double which was a great room but it’s around the back of the castle which needs some tlc - weeds we’re growing, uneven steps, and a random grubby area near the door to the spiral staircase to our room. This area had some bar tables but no stools- felt a bit forgotten about and tainted the special feeling of staying in castle.

Magical destination hotel with such an extensive history. Beautifully presented food. Little slow on the service for breakfast but nothing to lose stars for!

This is a beautiful property. We dined like royalty and the breakfast was very very good. Our restaurant waiter was very professional and did a great job describing the wine pairings. Our room was truly magnificent. We stayed in the queen Mary room. It was truly a bucket list item for me. The castle is a must do for history lovers and romantics.

We booked two rooms for a special occasion - we were allocated the Anne Boleyn and our daughter’s had the Audley rooms, both overlooking St Mary’s Church where we got married. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, dinner in the library was fabulous and breakfast was perfect. We even had good weather. Will definitely stay again
