Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a convenient location just off the motorway network, and the restaurant provides satisfactory meals. The rooms have shower facilities and are up to the standard of the pub. However, the dining options could be improved, and the facilities are currently undergoing refurbishment.
The hotel is ideally situated right in front of an old castle, offering a charming and historic atmosphere. The service is exceptional with helpful staff, including the manager, always ready to assist. The location near the historic castle owned by English Heritage adds to the appeal, providing a unique experience close to a significant site.
The hotel is a gem, so close to the castle for a lovely walk and next to a historic castle owned by English Heritage. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff, including the manager, are so helpful. While the dining offers enjoyable experiences, it may benefit from more variety. The location, a short distance from the motorway junction yet peaceful, is fantastic, and the price is reasonable.
