We loved our Cottage

We stayed in The Cottage and loved it! Unbeatable access to the pub, I was a bit worried about noise but it didn’t go late (even on a Saturday). We’d love to stay again

Central location, lovely room, staff excellent

Absolutely lovely stay at Duke William hotel. It was the perfect location for us to attend a concert at the castle, just a 1min walk away. The hotel check-in was simple, our room was lovely, albeit compact, the bed is huge and very comfortable, and it is very central and a historic building. Evening bar staff were a little salty, but the day time team were great. The breakfast is pre-ordered the night before, and was really lovely. Nice ingredients and poached cooked perfectly! The icing on the cake for me has to be the aftercare. We had left a jumper at the hotel, loving 2hrs away wasn’t an option, but they happily posted it for me and it was with me 2 days! Outstanding service.

Great Breakfast & location

Lovely comfortable room. Temperature was hot (middle of summer) but the fans in the room were noisy. Breakfast was excellent, all freshly cooked and great. Excellent location for the Castle and Cathedral
