8/10 Good
"Enjoyed the experience of staying in a 14th century castle. The hotel being isolated is very quiet and relaxing, and our room was pleasantly different from what you usually get in an ordinary hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient, breakfast was excellent, we ate in the bar in the evening but felt the drinks were on the expensive side. All in all a very interesting and enjoyable couple of days."
