Beautiful hotel, with great walks on the doorstep. The staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them and the food was amazing.

The food here is amazing! If your going for three courses I recommend the Caeser Salad as a starter as it was amazing! It's worth the money you pay

This review is a non review as all we have to review is a refusal to let us in to experience it and to write a review. So it started with a phone call to them on Sunday past. We phoned to book for four to dine to hear that their restaurant was completely booked out. We were told though that we could dine in the bar and that it served food from 5pm. We asked if we needed to book and were told no to just come along. So we did. We arrived at the entrance near to 5pm to be met by a staffer who advised that they were full and proposed that we return in 'about an hour and a half.'

Nice place, nice views, the castle itself is tiny and don't seem to be open to a public, however I might be wrong
