Loved staying in a hotel that was once actually a castle, beautifully appointed room with a window looking out on the older part of the building that we loved. The hotel is very well-designed, even with the modern entranceway, once you step inside it feels like a castle. The fireplaces were beautiful to sit and have a glass of wine, the high ceilings, the staircases, and our room itself with its comfortable bed were all fantastic. The modern, spotlessly clean bathroom was great, but they only provided one set of towels (one bath towel) for two people so we would have had to request a second towel. Not sure if that was just an oversight, but for such a nice hotel, it seemed odd. We had dinner in The Knights' Inn bar, and that was somewhat disappointing. The server took a long time to take our order and the food was brought out before the cocktails. My daughter ordered a salad which was bland and had to ask for dressing, as there was none provided. I ordered a vegetarian Thai curry which was not very tasty and not presented well. The soup was good, though, and we had ordered a goat cheese and mushrooms appetizer which was delicious. I guess my expectations for a "dinner in the castle" were too high, but I felt that the service and the food itself were sub-par and the menu did not have enough options. I believe there is a restaurant on-site which offers a fine dining experience but it was closed on the night we were there. The breakfast the next morning was very good though.
