Magical. I loved the charm of the charm of the entire place. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I felt like royalty, every little girls dream to stay in a castle. The room was huge, giving us room to spread out on the lounge and relax. The bed was massive and so comfortable. The furniture gave the old world charm and I wish I had taken the time to immerse myself in that beautiful claw foot bath. The meal was divine, the entire experience was faultless, and the prices didn't put this unique experience out of reach for the average traveler. Thank you so much for a truly memorable stay. I only wish I could give 10 stars.
The Castle is amazing!
The staff are really friendly, one of the ladies who served breakfast even suggested a couple of places we could visit that we hadn't seen already. The staff made time to stop and chat and didn't make you feel like you were taking up their time or being a pain.
The room (4) was lovely with a huge sleigh bed with an ensuite bathroom with a free standing bath that could probably fit two people, we didn't actually try.... the view from the room is of a little summer house and garden, and through the trees were the mountains, and also above next doors garden. (Look past the neighbours garden and ignore the squeaky floorboards) ;)
The food..... oh my the food.....
So I have a very fussy husband who doesn't eat much, so myself and one of the staff conversed about the menu and what we could have, we decided on steak and chips even though it wasn't on the current menu, again not making us feel like we were being a pain, that's what we had, his plain and simple, mine with all the trimmings, it was delicious. I also had a pudding, which I never usually do, creme brûlée with raspberries and home made shortbread, I could possibly eat that for the rest of my life!!!!!
We decided to sit in the bar for the rest of the evening with another couple we met who were staying there, and Come the end of the night the bar staff left us too it in the lounge, locked up the bar and just asked us to turn off the lights and lock the door. No pressure to go to our room because they wanted to go to bed, it was so chilled and relaxed!
If you have the chance to visit you must do so and we plan to return as soon as we can!
Thanks for making our stay great!
We got married here just over two weeks ago, the day went so smoothly and it was everything we could of wished for and more. The castle itself is beautiful, rustic and all rooms were immaculate (couldn't fault them) the views were amazing and the sunrise beaming through our window in the bridal suite was lovely, not forgetting the lovely view of the Wallace monument �
The staff work so hard here and nothing is to much trouble for them. They made us and the guests feel at ease straight away. The food served the night before and on the day was exceptional and piping hot when it was served.
I would also like to say a big thank you to Gary and Scott for everything! My guests wouldn't stop commenting on how hard you's worked and how friendly and down to earth you's are. You's definitely made the day/night! Thank you's again, you's and the other staff worked non stop to make our day perfect!
We will definitely be back to stay as mr and mrs palmer ��
