The hotel’s 70-plus rooms (all doubles or twins) are located between the castle and two newer wings which are more modern and contemporary in style.
They are all spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed but the castle rooms have the most historic character and many have four-poster beds.
If you’d particularly like a castle room, as opposed to a room in the more modern wings, you have the option of dropping them a note after booking and they will arrange it.
