Itterdal Castle Park

good location and clean room

good service and food recommendations!

This place is crying out for The Hotel Inspector or Gordon Ramsay to storm in and shake the owners out of their stupor. There’s genuine potential here — the kind of charm and setting that could make it special — but it’s completely undermined by a burnt-out, disengaged owner whose negativity sets the tone the moment you walk in. There were no menus, no prices on display, and ultimately no transparency — which meant the final bill arrived as a rather unpleasant surprise. Yes, I know I should’ve asked, but it was an early-days weekend date and interrogating the staff over costs would’ve killed the vibe. The food? Serviceable, but that’s being generous. Two fried eggs (no choice offered), some overcooked bacon, a good spread, and a somewhat forced glass of champagne — €40 per person for that felt like a punchline without the joke. The room was clean and spacious, which was a relief, but felt dated — a CD player and a TV awkwardly clinging to the wall didn’t exactly scream modern hospitality. I came here off the back of glowing reviews and wasn’t expecting luxury, just a little warmth and value. Instead, I left wondering if we’d all stayed at the same place. A huge missed opportunity — the place is resting on fading charm and needs a serious wake-up
