"Great but not really 5 star"

8.0

staff and the new spa facilities

in a 5 star hotel you don’t expect to pay extra for use of the thermal suite - it does feel more like an excellent 4 star than a 5 star overall- the afternoon tea was very small

"Overall beautiful property but the front desk staff seemed overwhelmed at times. Also a covered way to get from the main"

8.0

Castle was nice - restaurant staff were great. Extra large room.

The shower door glass didn’t go all the way to the floor so water goes all over the bathroom floor which I cleaned up every morning. Bad design. Also the bathroom mirrors need more light!

We had a great check-in, with bags being taken to our room (very nice). Breakfast was first class. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and classy. Loved staying in a castle.
