Beautiful castle with lovely pleasent, helpful staff. We stayed 1 night & had an excellent dinner & breakfast in the 1180 Restauant.
However for a 5 star hotel I was a little dissapointed with a few things: We went to the bar for a pre-dinner drink and there was only one waiter behind the bar & no floor service, one had to queue at the bar for a drink & carry it back to the table.
The overall lodge decor felt a bit dated. The kitchen was well enough stocked but it & the lounge area was very dull.
Dispite a large picture window, here was only 1 small window for ventilation & this appeared sealed so we had to open the door to the terrace.
It was nice that the bedroom had french doors which lead to the terrace, as well as the living room. The bed was big, very comfortable & good pillows. The room had a charming garden view. Regarding facilities; I had to request a bathrobe & slippers which should have been provided. The bathrobe was synthetic & not good quality. There are no hooks in the bedroom or bathroom so I could not hang the robe anywhere. There were no chairs in the bedroom either (just a wee stool) so we had no-where to put clothes at night. I had to put the bed throw on the floor as no place to put it, so not very hygenic.
