The place is beautiful and the castle is just beautiful to look at . I was a little disappointed with my lodge as not really a lodge like you see in the photos online as it was a lodge that was divided into 4 seperate rooms so really just a hotel like room . But it was a lovely room

Exactly what you would expect staying in a picturesque castle and the beautiful grounds surrounding it. It’s like taking a step back in time and enjoying the tranquility and history of it all. Staff was very kind, helpful, attentive and the food was delicious. Would absolutely recommend to everyone!!

Property is beautiful and quiet. A little too quiet - if you don't play golf there is not much to do. The Lodges are older and looking a little worn. Staying here is still a good experience,

We stayed in the Lodges and they were very nice and clean and quiet. The rooms were large. Breakfast was delicious and the other dining options they had were very nice. They also had a bar inside the castle with a great view out to the gardens. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

We got a room off the castle area, next to the gold course. Room size is nice but not great. Bathroom was strange and fan was very loud.

Outstanding! The service and staff was amazing. From our first experience with Micheal( first day on the job) too Emily ( whom I believe was in training) she made our experience at the club house for dinner a fantastic time. Thank you both.

Excellent accommodation-suggest improving breakfast which we experienced including overcooked and cool and not in keeping with accommodation standards- disappointing

The air in the room didn't work so it got very stuffy with only one window and one exterior door to go out for air but nothing to stop bugs from coming in.....
2-night trip

8/10

Despite the ‘Lodges’ name, these units are more like motel suites than picturesque lodges. The furniture is neither updated modern nor classic- just dated. The bathrooms have not been renovated and the facilities are mediocre. The castle is beautiful structurally but poorly curated. Food and service at the Cadtle dining room was good. Food service at the Lodge dining room was erratic, slow and below standard. Great potential with poor execution.

8/10

Lovely place to stay, the lodges are separate to the castle. Short walk to the main castle And beside the restaurants. Room was spacious and the bed was big. The TV system /channels and remote not very good though. We did the small spa, which was lovely. 25 per person for an hour. Breakfast was in the castle for us as we stayed in Feb, otherwise I think the lodges are in hermiones restaurant. The breakfast was lovely.
