The location is stunning and the building itself if spectacular. It really is like stepping back in time staying here. We had a very late arrival for a wedding at another venue close by and the lady who runs it couldn't have been more helpful. She told us to focus on getting ready and enjoying our day and to worry about settling the bill on checkout the following day. Breakfast was amazing, the room was stunning. There aren't enough good things to say about this venue and the family who runs it.

Everything was perfect.

Lovely stunning building, staff were we warm and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them whether it was early morning for breakfast or late nightcap in the bar before bed. Adam was very friendly, there was also a lovely friendly lady. We stayed for 2 nights the breakfast was delicious and it was clear used great quality choice of ingredients for the cooked breakfast we had both days. Proper cafetiere coffee.

Room was comfy however dropped one point as TV was very small and couldn't see the TV from the bed and wires too short to pull it any closer. Also we both woke up on the 2nd night cold as the temperature had dropped off outside. Would have been ideal if there was a blanket or thicker duvet In a dust prevention zipped bag etc, in the lovely big wardrobe just encase. But apart from that was a lovely nice stay and would 100% recommend

A really beautiful hotel with fantastic, friendly, welcoming staff. It looks just like something out of a picture book. We had the fortune to have both diner and breakfast during our stay and the food was outstanding. The room was really quiet and a good size (we were in the library room, complete with a slew of books!).

A slightly bouncy mattress.... this is really only nit-picking as there is very little not to like! The only other thing we didn't like was that we were only there the one night, we would have loved to have stayed for longer.

It was absolutely beautiful. It looked like what I picture a castle would have looked liked. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms

Everything closes around 7:30 pm. The property offers dinner but the last guest is served around 730 so it’s good to get here early. The owner gave us recommendations for in town but they also close early

We received a lovely warm welcome on our arrival. The castle grounds are beautiful and well kept. Our bedroom was very clean, well equipped and the decor was lovely. We ate in the restaurant and the food was amazing. In the morning we went down for breakfast and there was a wide variety of food and drink. Cooked breakfast was very nice. We would highly recommend staying here and we will also be looking at returning 😀

As we entered the foyer of the hotel..We were met by a lovely hot glowing fiřë! A lovely touch. Then the welcoming smiling faces of Alex and his Mum... the owners of the hotel ... Alex showed us to our room where I was pleasantly surprised by the size of it! Bed was lovely and comfy ... We ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious!! I'd highly recommend the salmon on a bed of beans. And the sticky toffee pudding! We had a lovely 2 night stay in this friendly relaxed beautiful castle in the countryside x ⁹

Personnel is serving, polite and flexible: this change quite a lot our experience as foreigners around thus whereabouts: thank you all! Building is beautiful, an it's surrounded by lovely gardens.

Cleanliness is not the best of the best, but the accommodation was so last minute cheap that we cannot complain. We mean: it was clean, but perhaps not spotless around some openings with just a few spider webs.

Breakfast was amazing .. quality ingredients.. plenty of it .. just perfect . The location was superb as we were at a wedding over the road .. The owner from chesterfield.. so friendly and welcoming .. excellent first impressions

Nothing really .. it’s an old building so the character is exactly what we loved .. maybe a full standing ironing board but that’s me having to think really hard ..

Classic Victorian style building, though having origins reaching back to medieval times, complete with wooden paneling in communal areas. Very friendly staff making us feel welcome from first arrival.

Shower was a bit iffy. Sometimes hot. Sometimes cold. Sometimes no water at all.

What' not to like....This was our 3rd trip to the castle and won't be our last. We love the location, we love the castle and the owners make the experience unforgettable. Ellie, Alex and Ivan are all amazing and each brings their own special qualities to make your stay extra special. We highly recommend having an evening meal in the restaurant...you won't be disappointed.

Having ho leave....
