Perfect venue for Castle events. Clean and wonderful staff. Good value. Outside doesn’t look that inviting but once inside a lovely entrance hall. Rooms had good amenities and a good view of the castle.

Really like the location of the hotel, as it’s close to all the important attractions! Staff is also very helpful. Like other comments have pointed out, some reno would be nice, especially in the bathrooms. Comfortable beds and great to have a fan in the room.

The hotel was in a brilliant location and very reasonably priced. Uniquely decorated and full of history, but also practical. The stand out feature however was how helpful, friendly and professional the staff were, from the receptionists, the manager in charge of the restaurant, and the cleaning staff.
Exceptionally nice people doing a great job.
