Reviews

Anthony 10/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

I would definitely stay again.

Pros: Breakfast was great, and choices were very good. Evening meal was amazing. Bed was clean and comfy. Room was very clean.

Cons: Wish there would be a sofa instead of 2 chairs to watch tv at night. For some reason I was under impression breakfast was included in the stay. Being tall the shower didn't go over my head, not really a fault more of an observation.

Pros: We had a truly wonderful stay at Rowton Castle. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff was warm, friendly and welcoming, always with a genuine smile. The restaurant was excellent – the food was delicious, and the gentleman who served us was both professional and courteous, making the dining experience especially enjoyable. Our room was spotless and beautifully presented. The toiletries provided were of exceptional quality, with a lovely fragrance that added a real touch of luxury. Thank you to the whole team for such a memorable and comfortable stay. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend Rowton Castle to others.

Cosy castle in the countryside!

Pros: Hidden gem! Beautiful building with a very calm and relaxed ambience. Felt like we were staying at a country house rather than at an anonymous hotel. All the staff were so helpful and friendly. Dinner and breakfast was served in the panelled dining room with pristine white tablecloths. All the food was delicious. Would certainly recommend.

Cons: Leaving!

Wayne 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Enjoyed restaurant food. Lovely breakfast, not the best hollandaise sauce I’ve had. Lovely grounds. Excellent lawns to rear garden. Beautiful location. Wonderful opportunity to restore walled gardens. Everything well maintained. Very friendly and professional staff.

Cons: Could do with a lift to second floor. Other than that, better hollandaise sauce.
