Beautiful building, great parking and friendly staff. The cellar bar was nice.
The restaurant lacked warmth. It needs some subdued lighting and some nice linen tablecloths. In such a beautiful building it felt like we were eating in a cafeteria.

We were glad there wasn't a wedding on as we might not have had the chance to explore the castle, which is fabulous.
All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was very good and lots of coffee/tea refills.
Comfortable bed and the best pillows we've ever had in any hotel.
The cellar bar was very pleasant.
Sadly the restaurant was fully booked, which might have been a good thing as we had a fabulous meal at The Pheasant nearby.
Watch out, anyone with a low sporty car...
The speed bumps entering the castle grounds are high and hit the exhaust going up to the hotel.
Obnoxious drainage/sewage smell coming from the bathroom. We were in the "Bickerton" room.
The smell got worse as the evening went on.
Lucky my husband finally managed to fix it very early in the morning by running some water in the bath. He thinks stagnant water gets heated up. Every time the bathroom door opened it wafted into the bedroom, horrible.
I mentioned this to the reception staff who seemed embarrassed, I now see there were other reviews with similar feedback, so obviously this is an on-going issue.
I wasn't looking for a discount or anything, I just wanted to let them know how we resolved the issue.
The response was "That's what we recommend people do". Really, can you imagine telling your guests as they arrive "please can run some water in the bath so you don't get a sewage smell in your room" - this should be part of the daily cleaning process.
The cellar bar sadly didn't have most of the whiskeys on their list, shame.
The continental part of the breakfast area was very small which lead to queuing.

Stunning grounds, we stayed in the turret room which was very atmospheric and a cool experience. The staff were lovely and helpful and the bed was comfy with great sheets and pillow. The breakfast was delicious and generally this was a great venue.
For a luxury accommodation there were a few things I thought were lacking e.g we were in an extremely high (about 4 flights of stairs inc a winding staircase? No lift obviously given the building!) turret room and no one offered to help us with our suitcases/ to show us the way when it was a labyrinth. We struggled around for a while. In the room there was only 1 packet of biscuits, only normal tea and very little of it, quite a few of the breakfast items have a £5/6 surplus. There was not much lighting and the room was pretty dingy when not daylight and only one useable plug socket (which if in use came at the expense of the main lamp and the kettle) in the whole room and not near the beds or the desk, the bathroom was pretty basic too. It’s obviously a beautiful location but I do think that compared to similar price points there are a few more touches that could be thought about.

Food very overpriced and not as described in the menu, you can get better in Weatherspoons. They also take every opportunity to charge you extra for everything (£25 for checking in 15mins early) leaking toilet ,torn bedding and for a Sunday night at £250! Money completely wasted! Trust me I could go on and on.
