Stayed for our Anniversary. Beautiful location. Reception staff friendly. Breakfast staff were amazing. Hairdryer packed up as cheap and no replacement. Bath panel Bradley marked and chipped. No biscuits with tea in room on arrival. Main restaurant very limited as set 7 course meal at £75 per person very expensive. Being able to explore the castle was a great bonus. Bath tubs with flowers in at entrance not fitting for grandeur of place. Would like to see brasserie open as bar during day. Perhaps a welcome drink for guests would be a nice touch.

Spectacular venue. Good food. Attentive service. But our room was a little tired looking, a bedsheet was soiled and our room was stocked with too little milk sachets and loo roll. Felt like penny pinching.

Staff were very helpful. Cleaners are doing a brilliant job. Breakfast was just warm and porridge not cook through. Gritting also served with jam and strawberries instead of raspberries and strawberries.

Glad to go home after our stay. Gutted

We had anticipated a restorative stay at the castle; however, the accommodations proved significantly substandard. The small room was exceptionally unclean, especially the carpeting, necessitating serious consideration of immediate departure. The cost was disproportionate to the quality, resulting in considerable disappointment. While we registered our concerns, the response was inadequate. The experience failed to provide the necessary respite, and the room required substantial refurbishment and replacement of the outdated furnishings.

Not what I was looking forward to.

Avoid Malpas room, it is above something that generates alot of noise and it vibrates the floor and so the bed vibrates also. The noise doesn't stop till late at night and starts at 6.00.a.m.You can see the curtain hooks on the 4 poster rail moving because of the vibration. I asked for ear plugs and was given 2 small balls of cotton wool that did nothing. Take toiletries because all that is in the suite is 2 bottles fixed to the shower wall so if you are bathing, bad news!

It’s good to remember this is a castle for several reasons. The first being the heating system is antiquated. Second, wi-fi has dead spots and does not necessarily work in your room. Third, the castle caters to groups/weddings and some get quite loud. They are celebrating. With these things in mind it was a nice stay.
