Good stay, parking expensive

"Good stay as expected, what isn't publicized is the £25 parking for overnight stay"

5/5 Excellent

Lovely old hotel sensitively modernised

"Just the sort of hotel we like best! An older property with personality, but with enough modern features for comfort. Unfailingly helpful, cheerful and professional staff. We had a large, comfortable room with a view of the castle, and a lovely selection of toiletries in the bathroom. My only criticism would be that there was only sliced bread available at the otherwise very good breakfast. "
