This was a splurge for my birthday and it was so exciting to take the ferry over-it conveniently runs every 15 minutes- park and walk up to a beautiful castle. After we checked in we explored the property and then got a drink in the luxurious bar. The furniture was comfortable and cute. We took a bath in the claw foot tub and enjoyed the large and soft bath towels and robes. The toilet was difficult to flush and you had to pull at the top not the chain. The bed was the most comfortable bed ive ever slept in. Breakfast was phenomenal with everything so tasty and fresh in a gorgeous sunny atrium. Could do a better job cleaning-lots of cobwebs and dust. Some people complain about the decor but it is a restored castle and I don't think it's easy to simple replace the wallpaper. Definitely would recommend!

This stay five was out of this world. This is a historic castle that has amazing public areas and the private rooms are warm and inviting. Staff was helpful and hands off unless you needed assistance, the main dining room had French service and breakfast in the solarium was a great start to our day. They even had had a visit from Santa and an albino wallabe.
