Two Night Getaway to a Castle for Two

We had a voucher gift, were amazed by the experience of staying in this remarkable castle, such an ambitious building and awesome setting on the crag staring at the real ancient Beeston Castle on the opposite crag. Classic bedroom (the budget end of their offer) is certainly Victorian-looking, heavy brocades, but bathroom v good and it was in keeping w the castle's period. V good pork fillet & braised beef dishes in 1851 restaurant, great garlicky broccoli, lovely smooth celeriac soup, & with bottle of wine £55 each, good value for that quality. Breakfast marvellous croissants, fresh fruit salad, good hams & cheese, plus decent hot offers - but insipid coffee! surprising. Brasserie dinner 2nd night not so assured (overdone prawns, sauces splurged on without much thought) yet comparable dish prices to 1851 which isn't ideal. But well handled problem with sour beer, immediately properly replaced & not charged at all. Bedding & toiletries good quality. Explored atmospheric wine cellar & great hall (where bridal party were rehearsing). Garden courtyard perfect for the castle & astounding views in the wood surrounding if you wander down the Landrover Experience track. Saw a lot of busy gardening staff, a great sign. Felt this place is getting a lot of love from its owners & staff, & that reflected back to us as customers. Really impressed, especially as we were voucher customers. I felt the Peckforton team welcomed us there.

Amazing setting in lovely countryside very pleasant staff and ideal for exploring the surrounding areas would go again.

My wife and I have just arrived home from a lovely two night stay with you. Must say, what a few days. First, your staff - Fantastic, friendly, professional and happy to go that extra mile. Everyone we interacted with including house keeping, general staff, house staff and bar staff were naturally nice, it did not feel false. Nothing was too much for them. On the Saturday evening, I was relaxing in the lounge, was hungry, but comfortable and relaxed. So, I asked the bar staff if there was anyway I could eat in the lounge. they explained that they would check with the restaurant/kitchen and be right back. Within a few minutes, they were back, we ordered and it came shortly after that. The food was excellent quality and large in portion. The service just made an already very nice day. Overall, great place, very clean, super staff add to this lots of places to sit and relax, read, look out the window at the grounds. Chat if you want, sit yourself again if you want. We also had the afternoon tea. Again, fantastic, the quality of the surrounds, the service and the quality of the food and tea. I know I have mentioned it, but again excellent staff and all the wee touches, like the information sheets on the house history.

The castle/hotel was beautiful and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Bedroom and bathroom were excellent. However the safe was in the bottom of the wardrobe facing sideways so it was exceedingly difficult to use and if you were staying more than a couple of days, some drawer space would have been very useful.
