Our stay was beautiful! The castle is stunning, including the surrounding grounds. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique experience. My only 2 caveats: there’s weak cell signal within the hotel (but there is WiFi) and the location is a bit out of the way if you’re mainly sightseeing in the city centre. Uber will be rude about coming out here; one tried to guilt us into tipping more, claiming we had put the wrong address into our app. We preferred to use the taxi service the hotel is partnered with; Derek was incredible. The prices are nearly the same but the manners are much better.

We have stayed here three times now and will certainly be back. It is ideal for travelling with our dog; the staff fuss him, he gets to be with us in the dog-friendly mini dining-room and got his own sausage at breakfast. We found the evening dining room in the basement a bit tricky with a spiral staircase so the staff set a table for us on the ground floor. Huge comfy bed and plenty space in the rooms.

This is an exceptional property! Our rooms were incredibly beautiful with outstanding amenities. The front desk staff were welcoming and kind, and Jill took great care of us at breakfast, showing us around the bar and wine cellar and giving us some history. This stay was our little treat on vacation- and I highly recommend it!!!

Beautiful property, spacious room, and excellent dining experience. We weren’t sure what to do about dinner since the castle is just outside of the city, but upon arrival, the staff asked us what time we would like to have booked for our dinner. The food was very good and we enjoyed our meal. We will have to stay here again when we visit next time. 5 stars.
