I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, the rooms were beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, and very quiet. However, the tea was about to close when we arrived, so we missed out on a nice cuppa. The large room had a raised bay window with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which was a lovely touch.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The underfloor heating in the bathroom overlooking the castle was a nice touch. I loved the open fireplace that added a beautiful ambiance to the room. However, I think they could enhance the experience by having a radio or TV with morning news in the breakfast area.
