This place is awesome to vist/stay. We were in the stable accommodation which does have a low roof on one side of the room but we knew this when booking. Nothing is too much for the staff, they are outstanding to deal with. Great breakfast provided in the mornings and you can book to have the evening meal in the castle-costs extra. The castle and grounds are just so wonderful. This is a place you really need to see.

Wonderful place to stay if visiting albatross sanctuary or just for the experience of staying at the castle. We stayed in a lodge with a sea view . Decor was in-keeping with the castle and beds were comfortable. We had a tour of the castle included in our nightly rate which was interesting and before check-in we ate in the cafe where the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming Highly recommend.

We were in an upstairs room and the view was stunning! The room was plush with a four poster bed that was very comfortable. The whole experience of staying in the grounds of the stately home was great - especially as free access comes with the room. Breakfast was good with a nice selection of cooked and continental. We also had Dinner in the castle - the food was good and it was fun having a private dinner party with people we did not know. Need to book in advance direct with the hotel though!

It's a good opportunity to stay in a historic property. Gardens are beautiful, I would recommend booking the latest dinner options, it is more quiet and you will get an opportunity to do some star gazing. Room was so extremely small, but decently comfortable. Shower rooms are tiny and not too comfortable. Staff was overall ok, but some were really not helpful. Parking was difficult, as the parking lot was really tight. Overall an interesting experience.
