Friendly staff, fantastic food, great location

The rooms in the castle were a little too spooky for me travelling alone. Also some of the furniture was shabby beyond just antique, for example almost the whole side of a large mirror was missing in my bed room.

Overall: Was great would love to visit again with company!  (108757972)

Interesting to see some staff dressed in period costume.

Some of the fittings were tatty and not repaired, table edgings missing, finishing trims on curtain swags, shaving socket in bathroom not screwed into wall - could be dangerous. The prices charged for the rooms should be more than adequate to ensure the hotel is kept up to a high standard.

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
