30pm almost dark. Lot of people milling around as nighttime Halloween event being held. Signage to apartment at back of castle very poor and we were ârescuedâ by helpful and friendly electrician, Parking requested at front because of event. Immediate poor reaction on entry as straight into living area dull and smelly. A request the following morning for new extractor filter (filthy) and lightbulb was fairly promptly dealt with. Carpet seemed grubby and place somewhat dusty. Table and chairs need replacing. Seating comfortable if old fashioned. Bathrooms clean and appeared to be recently refurbished and decorated. Good showers and plenty of hot water. Bedrooms OK ish and bed and bedding very comfortable. Lighting everywhere poor. Entrance area scruffy and outlook depressing - bins and parking area. Having a ground floor good for access for dog though but no nearby grassy areas. Welcome supplies appreciated and OK kitchen area well stocked with china etc. dishwasher would be good ? We enjoyed the castle and Halloween event and loved the local area but felt disappointed with the overall condition and location of the apartment - it was depressing. Whilst we understand trying to maintain the character of the building this space is, we believe, in need of an update and we did not feel we had value for the money. I would like to have seen the other apartments for comparison but disappointingly we were not impressed with ours.

). I would have rated this a 5 star plus, but for 3 small and possibly individual to us issues; 1 (this is a big one for me) master bedroom mattress was way too soft and very lumpy. 2 lighting in the dining/living room area too dull and not all lights work. 3 the toilet is far too close to the bath in the master ensuite for taller people! I am 6 foot and it is most uncomfortable. Otherwise it is excellent, we were there as 4 adults, (collective age 285) access for a mobility scooter was good, the single rooms and the other bathroom were excellent. Loads of hot water, both showers were great, easy access to the castle and theme park, staff were polite and accommodating. I would definitely go again.
