We've stayed before. Fantastic location.Clean, modern hotel with excellent facilities. Staff were superb. Very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our only negative was the bedroom was very hot. Slept with sliding doors open, despite minus temeratures outside. Problem solved by reception staff. Overall, a great place to stay, and hope to return.

Brilliant location we have stayed there many times since 2016 always 2nd January and we always enjoy our stay. However the check in could be a little easier not being familiar with the I Pad. The hotel looks in need of freshening up but is comfortable and clean The restaurant manager at breakfast was particularly helpful on the day of our departure

The most beautiful view of the castle! Right from the window. The hotel is in a perfect location where everything is so accessible and the main attractions are so close yet it is in such a quiet place. So many amazing restaurants nearby. The hotel has great staff and the rooms are very clean and organized. Amazing hotel, definitely recommend!
