Not what I was looking forward to.
Avoid Malpas room, it is above something that generates alot of noise and it vibrates the floor and so the bed vibrates also. The noise doesn't stop till late at night and starts at 6.00.a.m.You can see the curtain hooks on the 4 poster rail moving because of the vibration. I asked for ear plugs and was given 2 small balls of cotton wool that did nothing. Take toiletries because all that is in the suite is 2 bottles fixed to the shower wall so if you are bathing, bad news!

The building is beautiful. I stayed in the Little Budworth room, the bed was very comfy and the room had old world charm with a beautiful view of the chapel.
I needed a phone charger and the lady on reception brought one up for me and would not take a tip, she was lovely.
I didn't see any facilities for room service, but that's not saying they didn't.

This property was one of a kind!!! Absolutely amazing!! Staying overnight in a castle, felt like royalty :) Ate at the brasserie, excellent food and service. Only down side, couldn’t turn heat on in our room, a bit cold
Walking through corridors in a castle was exciting!!

A unique venue in a quiet rural environment , quaint rooms, quality dining. Well worth a visit and definitely a fantastic venue for weddings and relaxing stays.
We stayed for one night that clashed with a taster event for couples with weddings booked or planned. Early evening we sat outside and struggled to get a drink.
The restaurant was excellent for dinner and breakfast, although running out of veg & the need for supplementary charges on menu even for coffee is strange.

Fantastic venue, room was stunning, staff were amazing. The only downside was the Wine Cellar bar was closed and we had been told to go to by friends. The 1851 Restaurant was superb, the food was top class.
All around, would recommend highly a visit.
