“A party and a nights stay”

I attended an anniversary party here with my partner February 2024. The party was for a colleague of my partner and her husband and as we were coming over from Liverpool decided to book a room.

I attended an anniversary party here with my partner February 2024. The party was for a colleague of my partner and her husband and as we were coming over from Liverpool decided to book a room. We had actually stayed here once before probably over 15 years ago for a wedding of a friend of mine so I was looking forward to returning to see what it was now like! After our original booking we got a much better deal nearer the time in a sale. We arrived handy and decided to grab a bite to eat in the bar! We got burgers which were really nice and had a couple of pints. Our room was small but had everything we needed and we had a nice view from our window! We had a little walk round the grounds there’s a little wooded area we stepped into in but there’d been a lot of rain so it was a little boggy. The party itself was really good and the function room was nice! Staff were really nice and worked hard across all areas of the hotel. After the party we returned to our room and had a lovely nights sleep as it was just so quiet! Breakfast the next morning in the small breakfast room was nice although no continental but the cooked breakfast was more than enough. We had a lovely night and have even thought about popping over again for a night.

“Nothing negative to say about the hotel or staff during this stay”

This hotel clearly now gets some bad press which in part may very well be justified depending on your personal experience. Yes the building is in need of investment as permanent broken lifts, out of order toilets and now broken heating aren’t great but there are some positives here. We booked a Cas… more

This hotel clearly now gets some bad press which in part may very well be justified depending on your personal experience. Yes the building is in need of investment as permanent broken lifts, out of order toilets and now broken heating aren’t great but there are some positives here. We booked a Castle Double for a last minute family get together. The room was on the 2nd floor. We received 2 messages telling us there isn’t a lift and the heating isn’t working but there is portable heater in the room. Can’t complain about the communication and then your choice to come or not and no nasty surprises when you arrive. We were checked in by a very pleasant and friendly young lady and our room was clean, warm ( the heater was already on) and comfortable which for £49 was an absolute bargain. Lovely big bathroom, complimentary toiletries, good selection of tea and coffee and bottled water. Standard double bed but comfortable and bedding was immaculate as were the towels. We had the horrible misfortune of being stuck down in the night by a vomiting bug ( nothing to do with the hotel as we didn’t eat there and felt poorly during our night out). We were in no fit state to check out the next morning so we were allowed to book another night and stay in our room and brought some extra bottles of water. The lovely male Receptionist assisted us with bringing up a Tesco delivery of some soft drinks and snacks when we started feeling remotely human. Despite the circumstances we felt looked after. There are some lovely staff here and after being an intermittent customer of this hotel now for over 30 years I hope it manages to survive its current issues. I am rooting for it myself and will definitely be back soon and hopefully enjoy it a bit more next time

We have been coming here the past few years for a 'staff' afternoon tea. This year has been its best! The sandwiches were fresh and the scones absolutley delicious! We had an extra guest turrn up and they managed to provide a few extra sandwichs and a scone! The cakes were beautiful too and those that were left we all took home! Only concern was the heating wasnt working but we were provided with heaters! We were in the Star Chamber which is beautiful and was all Christmassy! Thanks Lauren and team, we can see how hard you are working. This is such a beautiful Castle, just needs a bit more TLC but we will be back!
