Peckforton Castle

great bar expensive but nice brekfast was ok

evening meal very average had a steak just fat spoke to the waitress all i got was i will let the chef know and nothing else very disappointing

Oh my goodness- I was spell bound! The experience was just magical- the staff were lovely - food was lovely - I adored my bedroom even though it was smaller - it was more than adequate. It’s the kind of experience you put on your bucket list - I just didn’t know it until I arrived. I can see why so many people choose to get married there. Just gorgeous inside and out!

There are a lot of stairs, but it’s a castle, right! Besides, it keeps you fit! Would love to have tried the Landrover experience- just did not have time!

Gorgeous location, fabulously grand and very clean. Amazing last-minute deal. Delicious breakfast. Strong WiFI

My room took about five minutes to walk to and there were at least ten sets of stairs. I'm fit and healthy but with a suitcase, a briefcase and a handbag to carry, it wasn't a great experience. Travelling back down the two spiral staircases with luggage was quite precarious. I was in the tower and the room was lovely but I feel there should have been a warning. Even the slightest of mobility issues would have made the room impossible to reach. Reception was very smooth but there is an unusual process at breakfast as you wait to be seated at the top of the stairs - I waited for Ben who was mad busy but other staff who seemed less busy let me stand there for about five minutes...I was then seated and again waited for Ben to take my drink order. Poor Ben. A bit of teamwork is needed in the restaurant.

Great building

It was cold. I know it’s January but had to sit in the wine seller bar with our coats on.

Lovely property . Historical detail

Notification about the function under my room would have improved the stay as I would have taken ear plugs

The food was exceptional and not that badly priced (although we didn’t use the fine dining restaurant. Would have been nice to have a spa area tbh as we only stayed 1 day - enjoyed the atmosphere and castle immensely but not sure what we would have done with more days

I know it can’t be helped as it’s part and parcel of the castle but l’m a bit claustrophobic and we were right at the top in room 402 with very small windows. I felt bad but asked if there were any other room available even though ours was a lovely room.

A beautiful property in a wonderful settingThe taster menu was fabulous and good value, so was the wine pairing

Only one dark and cold bar open.Poor hospitality tray.Even though breakfast had to be ordered didn’t seem freshly cooked - tough bacon, rubbery egg etc as if it had been under heat lamps.

Ambience Pretty castle Nice room

Very average breakfast

Beautiful location, receptionist was lovely showed us around some of the decorated rooms/ great hall and the wine cellar, stayed in room (202) was spacious and very cozy.

Not really much to say could do with a dehumidifier in the bathroom to help with the damp around the window walls/ the radiator didn't turn on in the bathroom

The breakfast was cooked well. The castle was very grand made all the better the way it was decorated for Christmas. Staff were polite and helpful.

I arrived at night and it was quite difficult to find even with the sat nav. It would’ve been better if there was a large sign which was lit up at night time. There were some very large potholes on the road leading up to the car park so you had to weave in and out to avoid them. The car park was quite dark and muddy after the rain.

The castle itself is fabulous. Some decor was tired and construction work was being carried out in some corridors but still very interesting.Restaurant staff were lovely and polite and the food was very nice. However, the included breakfast was very poor when it was served cold and rushed.

Due to a discrepency between booking.com and what the castle actually had available, the first room allocated was not as ordered and freezing. The staff managed to move us to a 4poster bedroom as per our order, which was much warmer. However, an additional payment had to be paid. Decor was tired although could be in keeping with the castle. - furniture with water marks and raised veneer on cabinets? No information relating to breakfast times etc nor any historical information was in the room. Two A4 sheets with short historical summary and castle map were supplied on request but no restaurant times were included. Disabled parking was disappointing as only 1 space was allocated near reception. When we visited a large van was in that space with no permit. However, there was an area used by Landrover nearby that was blocked off by bollards which could have doubled as disabled parking when no Landrover events are live.

Location

Food very overpriced and not as described in the menu, you can get better in Weatherspoons. They also take every opportunity to charge you extra for everything (£25 for checking in 15mins early) leaking toilet ,torn bedding and for a Sunday night at £250! Money completely wasted! Trust me I could go on and on.

The setting was nice and it was much better than a boring travelodge

No heating on in room when we arrived so it was freezing and took ages to warm up slightly,Heating also switched off in the night despite radiators turned up to max

Breakfast was beautiful, staff more than helpful, courteous and friendly. Hotel super in general.

distance from parking to the reception

Peckforton Castle is a wonderful building. Our room in a turret was very comfortable save a minor hiccup with heating.Breakfast was served in a very well appointed room, an excellent breakfast.All staff were welcoming and cheerful and helped make our stay special.

Location

I was incredibly disappointed at overall experience.I had booked the one night stay to propose to my girlfriend with every intention of us having the wedding there so it would always be that special place brought it all together. Unfortunately this mornings disappointment with the shower not having any hot water (literally only cold water) and the bath shower head being the complete opposite and almost to the point of scalding hot, put a complete dampener on the stay and the prospect of using the venue at present. We did highlight to the reception but as we were booked for a breakfast slot and had the check out time we just had to leave.Apologies for sending this note but I wouldn’t want anyone else to experience this

Breakfast was lovely, fresh produce. All the staff I interacted with were polite and kind and I was given a little tour. Overall lovely stay and beautiful surroundings.

My room was by a laundry room so loud banging doors in the night woke me up a few times and the pillows were to soft for my personal liking.

Lovely place very clean food very nice staff very friendly and helpful

Food in 1851 nice

Rooms need upgrading ,poor heating didnt like most of the castle grounds not avaiable to walk round so doesnt make the most of views

The hotel is beautiful and has the feel of a castle. We had dinner at the Brasserie and the food was lovely. Our breakfast the next morning was also excellent.

Nothing, all was impecable.
