lovely castle stay

landscaped gardens outside seating kind staff good food
i appreciated the beautiful landscaped gardens with a lovely outside seating area. the staff was also kind, contributing to the overall ambience. i found the location fantastic with the visually beautiful building being a short walk into town. the menu offered good food, but smaller portions for slightly less money would have been welcome (a minor note).
the room felt a bit cold upon arrival, and it took a while to warm up properly.

9/10
The hotel features well kept gardens including peacocks, especially those traveling with family. The presence of outdoor seating areas complements these grounds well. additionally, the hotel offers spa services, though i did not use them.

Acceptable Stay with Food Quality Issues

dry chicken limited menu
The building itself was lovely and the staff were friendly enough.
The food was a letdown. My chicken was DRY and the vegetarian option was limited to just one choice on the menu, causing us to dine elsewhere the second night.
