We got a room off the castle area, next to the gold course. Room size is nice but not great. Bathroom was strange and fan was very loud.

Dream vacation
Exactly what you would expect staying in a picturesque castle and the beautiful grounds surrounding it. It’s like taking a step back in time and enjoying the tranquility and history of it all. Staff was very kind, helpful, attentive and the food was delicious. Would absolutely recommend to everyone!!

Property is beautiful and quiet. A little too quiet - if you don't play golf there is not much to do. The Lodges are older and looking a little worn. Staying here is still a good experience,

Cadre très agréable, réception à améliorer
L’hôtel est charmant, le parcours de golf est très bien entretenu, le pdj est excellent et l’expérience au spa est incroyable ! Nous étions 4 dans un lodge supérieur vue sur le golf, les points négatifs : pas de climatisation et la partie salon n’a pas de rideaux occultants sur toutes les ouvertures donc gênant pour les enfants qui ont l’habitude de dormir dans le noir. C’était compliqué d’avoir des informations claires et fiables concernant les autres activités proposées (escape game, fauconnerie) du coup nous n’avons pas pu les faire malgré plusieurs échanges avec les réceptionnistes c’est dommage.
