Disliked: Staff & service
Reception, activities desk and Charlie (archery) were the highlights. The falconry was also brilliant. Food highly mediocre and service in their restaurants - namely the Brasserie and the Oak Room - was quite bad. I wouldn’t have paid the service charge but they brought the bill out and had me sign before we got our food. Order wasn’t correct, took a while to correct, they gave us the wrong bill (someone else’s), etc. There was no service. No one check on us, made sure our order was correct and so on. It’s probably hard to get good staff. I would stay here again only because of the location and the outdoor activities - castle is lovely and our room was very nice and spacious, and had a bath and a shower.
