"Stayed in the castle view rooms which we discovered on arrival were all dog friendly. This explained the scruffy paintwork, musty smell and stained carpets- but I would expect nothing else when dogs are allowed in the rooms. We would have preferred not to have been in dog friendly rooms but we didn't ask, so it is absolutely not the hotel's fault.
Overall, the rooms are quite tired and dated and could use a refurb. However, the bathrooms are a good size, the room had sky TV and two lovely doors which opened out, giving us a nice air flow and a chance to hear the peacocks out on the lawn!
The actual castle is fantastic of you are a history buff and the bar area and restaurant were lovely. Great breakfast choice.
For the price we paid, this was fine for one night."
