Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Crossbasket Castle is often praised for its beautiful setting and the luxury it offers, particularly within the castle suites where guests have felt like royalty. Many appreciate the spacious and well-appointed rooms, some featuring roll-top baths. Dining at Trocadero's is a common highlight, with guests enjoying the combination of live music and excellent food, and the Arnold Bennet omelette at breakfast is also a recommended choice; however, some have noted occasional service hiccups in the restaurant. The hotel also has a lovely park, and some guests have been impressed with the modern design of the newer building.
