This place was a surprising business destination making my stay a very pleasant stay. Rather than the jelly mould hotels that you get these days this place was full of character. The hotel is over 400 years old and perched high on the hill overlooking chester-le-street. The grounds and views are fantastic. The interior of the hotel is very castle... More

This hotel is out standing from start to finish, The food and service is also outstaning, If you are looking for a high standard hotel this is the place,

Great location and very interesting old building, but...! Rooms are gloomy and crowded, because they are small and filled with lumpy furniture. Despite that: no wardrobes in the two rooms in which I stayed. Restaurant is the biggest disappointment: staff not very interested or attentive, food very over-rated and over-priced.

The ensuite room was immaculate, beautifully furnished... More

I've been to the castle a few times, but this was the first time I've stayed the night. My husband and I had a room in the courtyard. It was very atmospheric. I'm sure some people would love that. For me, however, it was too dark. The bathroom was nothing special. The dinner was ok. My husband really enjoyed his,... More

There was 2 weddings... More

We stayed in a courtyard room. It was small and quaint. Very comfortable yet quirky. The castle itself was great very atmospheric and beautifully preserved. We had a dinner bed and breakfast deal complete with campagne and truffles in the room. Dinner has faultless, food was exceptional and service was attentive. My only negative is that the gents toilets which... More
