Disappointing Overall Experience
The castle is a stunning building from the outside. Once inside, however, you are in a very tired environment. The hotel is in desperate need of some investment/renovation. The food was delicious and elegantly presented. Some of the service was first class while the majority was sub-par. No value for money.

The decorations and atmosphere were lovely and contributed to the castle experience. The drinks and the food are slightly more pricey compared to the city. The room was big and the staff was very friendly. I would totally recommend this property for an escape from the city.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This property was unique in that it is a castle outside of the city. It was an adventure to stay in an actual castle that once belonged to the Ramsay’s - our ancestors. It could use a bit of upgrading, perhaps a lift or staff to assist with luggage, and perhaps a gift shop? All in all it was an amazing experience!

The hotel advertised itself as pet friendly. When we arrived with our dog they told us we would have to stay in the lodge , not the room in the castle I had originally reserved,because they didn’t allow dogs in the castle. Then they gave us an inferior room up 2 flights of stairs that I had to climb with my bad knees. I was extremely disappointed.
