Cave Castle Hotel, Exclusive Hire

Absolutely blown away by the amazing hotel. We stayed 1-4.3.24 to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The hotel, grounds, spa faculties, location, food and staff were excellent - I enjoyed every minute of our stay and will be back soon. We stayed in room 101 which is a dog friendly room and I don’t think my dog wanted to leave; he enjoyed his long walks and visiting the ducks on the lake. Idyllic location and fantastic stay

We were celebrating my 60th birthday and what a Gorgous place. We were recommended to this lovely hotel and so glad we were. Room was spacious and clean and the staff lovely and helpful. We will return as really enjoyed the experience 😊

I'll precursor my review in saying I am very happy with my stay and would certainly go back. I loved that the rooms are very spacious as are the hallways etc so manoeuvring a large dog is no problem (or buggies/suitcases). The two beds put together to make the double, as many hotels do, are really strapped together they will not be coming apart or falling in-between as I have had elsewhere and the rooms are very warm. However the mattresses were quite soft and being used to a very firm mattress it did take me a while to fall asleep as well as being used to finding a fridge in most hotel rooms be aware that there isn't one if you need dog food/baby food to be kept chilled. Although I would have loved to go for one of the posher suites, dogs are only allowed in specific rooms and whilst I appreciate them being ground floor and close to an exit for bathroom breaks, the minor repair work in our room/elsewhere in the hotel impacts atmosphere, as an example, there was a gap of missing carpet under the radiator, holes in the bathroom door where the hook has been moved, broken cap on the radiator, cracked TV remote, towel heater cap falling out of the wall etc. The grounds are spacious and very well looked after great if you'd like to stretch your legs or if you are staying with your dog. ALL of the staff are SUPER friendly every single encounter with staff was positive and when I left something in the room they posted it back to me absolutely no problem. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely and weren't very busy when I went and there are some loungers by the pool if you want to sit and read but the changing facilities aren't very luxury and the sauna and steam room quite small I wouldn't book it for a spa weekend but would certainly say its worth using if you are there. Its nice that you can have your dog with you in the bar area though the bar certainly lacks atmosphere and feels more like a waiting room. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, we ordered from the set menu portion sizes are great and whilst I enjoyed everything I had others in our party were underwhelmed and it came out very very quickly. Breakfast is better quality than you get in lots of hotels but wasn't kept very hot. In short, its excellent value for money and for the space, ease and kindness of staff I would absolutely come back but its a shame some minor things hold this place back what could be a really outstanding and luxury experience.
