We booked two rooms for a special occasion - we were allocated the Anne Boleyn and our daughter’s had the Audley rooms, both overlooking St Mary’s Church where we got married.
The staff were all very friendly and attentive, dinner in the library was fabulous and breakfast was perfect. We even had good weather.
Will definitely stay again
Great welcome from friendly staff.
Lovely room although the bathroom was cool and the floor was cold.
Great afternoon tea.
Great breakfast.
Bonus to have an EV charger.
Our recent stay at this property was terrific. The staff were very accommodating and the hotel itself is beautiful. My 9-year old daughter, my mother and myself enjoyed every minute of our stay. We cannot wait to go back.
Absolutely stunning historic castle, feels like you are in another time but with luxurious modern amenities. Also the breakfast is fantastic. So glad we decided to stay here, a once in a lifetime experience.
Such a beautiful property - interesting history and gorgeous gardens and fabulous dining. What a treat!

Everything was just perfect! My husband and I enjoyed every minute celebrating his milestone birthday. The hotel exceeded our expectations. When we arrived, we were happy to hear that we got a free upgrade to a castle suite. We stayed in Catherine Howard room which was huge, had a four poster bed and a rolled bath. There were lots of complimentary things such as sloe gin, all sorts of teas and coffees, cosmetics in the bathroom, room slippers. The gardens were pretty and well maintained. Great to see a working water fountain too. The breakfast was delicious and all the staff were very attentive.
Amazing venue, steeped in history. Our room was beautiful and of a very high standard. The taster menu was exquisite. All staff were attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
The castle was beyond any expectations we had! The food was beyond wonderful! We had a six course meal in the dining room. We were blown away by the cleanliness, the attentiveness of the staff, the property itself! Everything was just wonderful! We are actually hoping to go again soon!
