Spectacular venue. Good food. Attentive service. But our room was a little tired looking, a bedsheet was soiled and our room was stocked with too little milk sachets and loo roll. Felt like penny pinching.

Staff were very helpful. Cleaners are doing a brilliant job. Breakfast was just warm and porridge not cook through. Gritting also served with jam and strawberries instead of raspberries and strawberries.

It’s good to remember this is a castle for several reasons. The first being the heating system is antiquated. Second, wi-fi has dead spots and does not necessarily work in your room. Third, the castle caters to groups/weddings and some get quite loud. They are celebrating. With these things in mind it was a nice stay.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Not what I was looking forward to.

Avoid Malpas room, it is above something that generates alot of noise and it vibrates the floor and so the bed vibrates also. The noise doesn't stop till late at night and starts at 6.00.a.m.You can see the curtain hooks on the 4 poster rail moving because of the vibration. I asked for ear plugs and was given 2 small balls of cotton wool that did nothing. Take toiletries because all that is in the suite is 2 bottles fixed to the shower wall so if you are bathing, bad news!

The building is beautiful. I stayed in the Little Budworth room, the bed was very comfy and the room had old world charm with a beautiful view of the chapel. I needed a phone charger and the lady on reception brought one up for me and would not take a tip, she was lovely. I didn't see any facilities for room service, but that's not saying they didn't.
