    Very friendly staff and service was quick, enjoyed the summer pasta and pavlova. Lovely interior and was well worth the overnight stay for a good breakfast as well.

    Staff were welcoming and pleasant. Food was delicious and served quickly. The bar is not very well stocked with spirits - only 1 gin that isn’t flavoured. Unfortunately it’s a bit canteen like atmosphere but it’s difficult as you have to walk through the main restaurant which is a big converted barn so can’t really change the ambience.

    Amazing food beautfully presented, lovely location overlooking the castle, friendly attentive staff. Our only negative would be that as we booked "dinner, bed & breakfast" (which wasn't cheap!) we didn't expect that 2/3rds of the items on the menu then had a further supplement. Charge more upfront if necessary so your guests don't feel cheated!

    Wow!! one of the best meals I’ve had, I went with my partner for dinner and will definitely be going again Firstly the setting, what a beautiful location, overlooking the castle which was all lit up, the view from the restaurant was stunning The staff were very helpful and friendly and looked after us, always being available but not over attentive The food was amazing!! From the starters through to desserts, would highly recommend the Crispy Bang Bang Cauliflower and the Braised Pork Belly and the price was very reasonable I would highly recommend coming here
