“Peckforton Castle distinguishes itself with medieval architecture and sprawling grounds suited for outdoor activities, making it ideal for destination weddings. The award-winning 1851 Restaurant suggests fine dining, and on-site spa services offer relaxation; however, some accommodations in The Lodge may show wear. Overall, I'd recommend it for a historically rich experience with modern amenities.”

beautiful hotel lovely food empty cans dated bathroom

the hotel is beautiful and it has the feel of a castle. dinner at the brasserie was lovely and food was very good. the next morning breakfast was excellent too.

The bar is cold and soulless. our room still had empty beer cans from the previous residents. That highlights the not great standard, also the bathroom was dated.

steep steps meagre breakfast

the tasting menu at the 1851 restaurant seemed excellent and its price, competitive.

I was disappointed to discover steep steps between the lift and my corridor (room 107). I have mobility problems. breakfast proved disappointing this time. The cooked breakfast was meagre and stone cold. staff did not seem interested in addressing my disappointment.

I found the staff excellent (everyone was so friendly). The breakfast provided a nice selection. I noticed the room service menu, while limited, still had some options. I also appreciated the general cleanliness of the facilities.

My room included a turret. It was very comfortable. There was a minor issue with the heating that i reported and it was addressed promptly. The bed was spacious, i believe it was a king size.

All the staff members i encountered were cute. I felt that everyone was cheerful and they helped to. The check in process was fast. I felt well taken care of.

Location

The approach to the hotel is picturesque. I saw many pheasants roaming around. The car park is located in a wooded area (which added to the charm). The castle grounds are extensive and perfect for a walk.
