Boutique Hotel Breaks

Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Greeted with a roaring wood fire making the wet weather tolerable. Check in was seamless and the bar and restaurant very welcoming. Food was superb and staff polite, cheerful and helpful. Big bonus being dog friendly, they were accepted everywhere except the restaurant which was understandable. No problem we ate in the bar and as all the other guests did too it made for a really warm and friendly atmosphere. First visit here and it will definitely not be our last.

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.

We both enjoyed our stay, food excellent

After a long journey due to traffic holdups on A34, we arrived to a beautiful room, an upgrade due to work around our planned room, Very impressed with staff and room on arrival, fingers crossed everything else goes as well.

Spent a weekend in London, and booked ourselves into this lovely hotel. We received a very warm welcome and enjoyed our stay.

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