"On entering the property we was greeted by the reception staff they were very friendly and helpful, they made our short stay feel at ease, had everything we needed and the owner was so polite even carried my bag upstairs and said anything we need just ask. Really can’t fault our room was lovely felt homely & cosy, the area was nice & quiet. Highly recommend this place. We had the family room as it was the last one left for us to book & was a great size room. 10/10 "
"We enjoyed our stay at the Castle and the staff were wonderful. The property is isolated so be prepared to stay in respect to dining etc. Our meals were delicious and the dining area was lovely. The room was small but comfortable "

"Stayed with 2 young children and the place was quiet and in a very convenient spot. The breakfast was good with a good continental selection and cereal for the kids, cooked options were great too. Will be staying again when we stay in the area!"
"We arrived at the property with no check in instructions.
When returning hours later with the check in details, we did not feel safe in the area.
The large window would not close and nothing was done about it.
We left and stayed else where

"Excellent stay with my two kids. Loads to do locally and on your doorstep. Short walk to two lakes plus an excellent local playground. Woukd highly recommend."
"Well this booking was made on the whole purpose of having a relaxing weekend after running 350km for charity over the past few months.
So we booked here for the hot tub and the relevant ease of running a Park Run on the Saturday.
After running this Park Run we returned back to the accommodation for our day of in and out of the hot tub.
Although this turned out to be turned off so we had an ice bath, not advertised on the website. We then were told that we would get a nights refund for this error. (2 weeks on still waiting).
The hosts did bring someone round to fill the hot tub up to enable us to get in which took around 30-40 minutes.
But then we discovered the cooker doesn’t work by this time we had had enough and just packed up and went home.
My verdict on this accommodation is don’t bother and certainly get anything they offer in writing. "
