"Staying in an actual castle was a dream come true for this soon to be 50 year old! The room was amazing and staff were phenomenal. The food was terrific - both the basement restaurant and the breakfast room. We only stayed one night due to our busy schedule but would've loved to stay and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Price was similar to a night in a 2-3 star hotel in London, which was shocking - would've much rather stayed here!!! This was a bucket list check off for me for sure!"
