We love it here, we came about 18 months ago and knew we had to come back for a night for our first wedding anniversary- really glad we did as it's incredible. This place is for history lovers, or people who want the chance to stay in a stunning castle - not people who want a 5 star manor hotel with 24 reception and room service etc. it's a huge place and full of history- there will be some dust and the occasional web but it doesn't take away from the beauty of the place. The reviews seem to be divisive but I think sometimes people go expecting the wrong thing.
Sometimes there is a delay getting in and out of the front door as reception isn't manned (they run this place with a very small team) so you need to be patient and ring the bell and wait, they will come and help. But don't expect to come in and out after 11 as the door is locked after that- so not for anyone who's planning a big night out.
We stayed in the Clifford Room both times which is stunning, a huge four poster bed and antique furniture. The bed is really comfortable with a great duvet and bed linen. I want to live in this room! The private bathroom is over the hall, this causes no problems at all as it's literally opposite and I wouldn't expect them to be changing the rooms in the castle to make way for an en suite. It was very clean and brilliant to have a big bath as well as a shower.
We had dinner in the castle, we both had great meals- the chef works so hard. The dining room is beautiful, you may be seated with strangers due to the nature of the long table but they space you out so you don't feel like you're hearing everyone's conversations.
The owner is lovely, she works so hard to run this place with a small team as it's absolutely huge and so much to think about. So glad to have the experience of staying here and would love to again if we get the chance.

Breakfast was delicious with high quality ingredients! Dinner was worth waiting for. The cottage pie was my daughter's favorite meal on our trip.
