魔力城堡酒店（英國） The Witchery by the Castle

We are just back from stay at The Witchery, we stayed in the Turret Suite, we only stayed one night and sure made the best of every minute, the suite itself takes you back in History I genuinely felt like a princess. We arrived 2 hours early and luckily the suite was ready, and we got to check in early. The two ladies at the front desk were lovely, wishing me a happy 50th birthday this was the reason we booked. Our cases were taken the room while they checked everything was ok. The 46 spiralling steps up to the turret suite just added to this magical experience. We were shown around the suite and then left to get used to our surroundings and take it all in. It was jaw dropping. We are just a normal couple who have never ever spent anywhere near what we did for a night away but it was a special occasion and a bucket list tick ✅ we never felt out our comfort zone or looked down on the staff were amazing. My first stop was to get in that amazing bath! Yes there is plenty room for 2. We only nipped out once and while we were out the turndown service had restocked and turned down our bed and set the mood for nighttime. We actually ordered in a pizza from pizza express later on at night when we both feeling slightly peckish. The whole stay was out of this world. It’s only fair that I add things that was less than perfect but I’ve not taken down my rating because for us it was a truly unforgettable stay. So the toilet I felt just looked out of place just a box standard toilet with black seat than I felt didn’t fit in with any of the decor, even a nicer toilet seat would change that. The double shower if your using the two then the water pressure is basically a drip and the Side Jets were useless they were less than a drip, and if you turned it to jets only the right side one just went thru the hole in the glass door and soaked the floor, but again it hasn’t made me take the ratings down because of the whole experience. We didn’t hear much noise from outside and it was quite busy with it being Easter weekend. We could hear the bagpipes if we left the shower door open which was lovely if it’s not your thing just keep the door closed. We were warm the whole time, you can control the heating in the rooms which is a nice touch. Two smart tvs and an Alexa which had lovely music playing when we arrived and then I changed to the brigerton soundtrack and I truly felt I was in that time! We chose to have our breakfast in the dining room, which was first class, the man (sorry I didn’t get your name) was lovely and nothing was a bother, we didn’t ask for anything extra but I overheard others and he was very attentive. One tip do not book thru a third party, I believe if you book direct you get champagne in the room, which we didn’t get despite paying just under £1000 for the room, hubby had panicked after book it or else I would love to go back maybe for my 60th and if we don’t get back then I have this wonderful memory that will last forever!

Estuvimos alojados por una noche en el hotel en la habitacion Guardroom. Realmente fue una experiencia inolvidable. No es un Hotel, es la entrada a una pelicula. Cada detalle, la habitacion, el restaurante de jardin. Muy Magico y Romantico...te trasporta. Recomendamos sin dudas.

Péssimo!!! Caríssimo, a comida não tem sabor, os garçons simplesmente não aparecem para atender. Eles exigem um mínimo de consumacao. Típico restaurante para enganar turista, duvido um local ir nele, muito menos voltar. O lugar realmente é muito bonito, chamativo, mas ao lado do castelo sugestivo p pegar turista. Não recomendo.

I had seen so many pictures of The Witchery, since we couldn’t stay there, I wasn’t prepared to miss out on at least a meal here. Built in 1595, The Witchery provides the most atmospheric meal you could ask for. We didn’t have a reservation just plain luck and entered The Secret Garden for lunch. Our service, quality of food and taste of dishes were beyond expectations (which, let’s face it were high upon arrival) We share molasses cured salmon blinis and charcuterie with watermelon 🍉 followed by deer and kale champ and the Witchery seafood pie 🥧 our wine was divine and I’d love to go back for a dinner in the original dining room 🧙‍♀️🥰😋

Fabulous dinner, we will definitely return. We had such a lovely evening, food and wine was delicious. The vegan options were lovely, so nice to get different options to other restaurants and an actual dessert rather than just been offered sorbet! Lovely restaurant and our waiter was lovely (Cameron), he made the visit perfect - thank you.
