Very nice Castle Hotel. The experience is worth the stay. Don’t plan a a good shower, this was an issue. Rooms could do with a little TLC. Even with the above, you won’t regret staying here

Very beautiful castle hotel and property. It's on its own island and a free ferry brings you across the small river. Lovely. Food is fantastic. Extensive Breakfast is included (except my cappuccino). Staff is great. Romantic. There are large, modern "cottages" (like townhouses) for families or bigger groups.

The room was not as expected. Carpets were very dirty, a few walls showed water damage and the bathroom had no curtains for privacy had to do makeshift out of luggage and clothes. I was surprised by the overall lack of upkeep for our suite, expected more from a luxury hotel for the money. Staff was excellent though!
