Some like the uniformity of a Hotel chain, I prefer to take a risk on something quirky and Peckforton Castle did not disappoint! Perched on the top of hill surrounded by a forest, from the Gatehouse into the courtyard this was stunning and a fabulous place to rest for a night. My bedroom was in a tower and although small it was charming and themed around Alice ( see pic ) The restaurant was pleasant although I chose to eat outside as - well, why wouldn't you? And wandering around the Great Hall and wine cellar ( now a bar ) gave me an appetite for well cooked food and great service. I slept really well ( unusual for me ) and woke to a proper breakfast, freshly cooked and served at table... Old fashioned service but made the stay! I will be back, my wife is not amused that she didn't get to share the memorable experience.

Amazing setting and beautiful grounds
Great place for wedding celebrations

However the rooms were rather small with limited facilities for the price paid.
Breakfast times restricted to 8-10 , would extend to accommodate guests’needs. Also a bit disappointing you had to pay a supplement to have half of the items on the menu

Came for a wedding, and what a stunning venue!
Be aware that the carpark is a short walk from the castle itself (for those wearing heels - there is gravel and a hill!), although people/luggage can be dropped off at reception.
The building can appear a bit of a maze, but is incredible - had a great time exploring after a very tatsy breakfast (only got slightly lost!). Room was a good size, comfy bed, and surprisingly good water pressure in the shower!

This is the second time we have stayed at Peckforton Castle
On this occasion we had a nicer room with a fabulous view of the front lawn. We visited the wine cellar bar but were disappointed to find that we were unable to pursue a menu over pre dinner drinks , because they were “ printed daily “ it would have been nice to look at it before being seated
Dinner in the brasserie was disappointing on this visit and had deteriorated significantly since our previous meal there. The salmon starter was served on crackers which were tasteless, the homemade soup was good though. My ragu was poor with overcooked pasta and my partners chicken Caesar was poorly presented but tasted ok
Previously the Asian chef had curry on the menu which was excellent and the food overall was better than on this occasion
However it’s a wonderful hotel set in fabulous grounds and beautiful rooms. All the staff were friendly and helpful
With one or 2 tweeks it would have been amazing; oh and don’t have GB News on in the breakfast room !

First time staying at hotel. First impressions good in general. Only complaint is the stairlifts. Trying to get my disabled partner to breakfast in the upstairs restaurant was virtually impossible. One stairlift had been left at top of stairs with no way to bring it down and other stairlift was out of order. Why can't the breakfast be served in the ground floor restaurant? Especially as its near the only elevator in the building?

Absolutely beautiful hotel in such gorgeous surroundings.

From the drive up to the car park, the walk through the walled gardens to the elegant reception hall everything blew us away. Then we got to the room and once again our expectations were met and exceeded. What a beautiful room we had (304). Sumptuous bedding on what could only be described as huge and lovely decor throughout.
All staff were amazingly attentive and enthusiastic. Beautiful food on the brassiere and then had some time in the wine cellar bar. Breakfast was the finishing touch to the night away and again was incredibly delicious.

1. There was a large crack in a window pane that was covered by masking tape. Clear tape would have been better to disguise it. Simple change.
2. The bath had a LOT of scratched chips out of it.
3. The spare toilet roll holder was at shin height so it made you sit on the toilet at an angle.
4. The bed was so close to the fire surround that you had to lean slightly to get past, after you had moved the elephant decoration statue out of the way first.
5. There were those ultrasoft pillows on the bed that you sink right into and when asked if we could get some firm pillows reception didn't even know if there were any available. Supplied us with more soft pillows instead.
6. Cobwebs around the ceiling and cornices right around the room.
7. Has a silly decorative serving style trolley doing nothing but no where to place a suitcase, never-mind 2 cases that would not have been in the way all the time.
8. Brasserie is one of those places that automatically add a 10% tip that you have to ask to be removed rather than being something you add to show an over-and-above experience.
9. Had wrong prices on bill, more than the menu stated.
10. Decor in the Brasserie and fine dining restaurant was trying to be modern in an old castle that you would expect the internal to match as part of the experience.
The quality of the Brasserie tables and chairs was severely below expectations for the type of place it was portrayed as.
11. Even though the room was a good size it had no sitting chairs

We booked afternoon tea with overnight stay. The place was very clean but some areas were quite dated, bathrooms and general toilets were modern & spotless. Staff were excellent; friendly and attentive. Food at teatime was lovely. The only two negatives was that some places were quite dark as using artificial candles, even receptionist struggled to see room number on the key when we were booking in. The other was afternoon tea was disappointing plus supposed to be with ‘Bubbles’. I have to agree with other customer negative reviews on the food. We were given one - under half filled glass of bubbly. When we asked if we could have another drink we were told we had to pay for it. This was a gift which I know was not cheap for what we received. Apart from this it was a good experience.

Glad to go home after our stay. Gutted

We had anticipated a restorative stay at the castle; however, the accommodations proved significantly substandard. The small room was exceptionally unclean, especially the carpeting, necessitating serious consideration of immediate departure. The cost was disproportionate to the quality, resulting in considerable disappointment. While we registered our concerns, the response was inadequate. The experience failed to provide the necessary respite, and the room required substantial refurbishment and replacement of the outdated furnishings.

Not what I was looking forward to.

Avoid Malpas room, it is above something that generates alot of noise and it vibrates the floor and so the bed vibrates also. The noise doesn't stop till late at night and starts at 6.00.a.m.You can see the curtain hooks on the 4 poster rail moving because of the vibration. I asked for ear plugs and was given 2 small balls of cotton wool that did nothing. Take toiletries because all that is in the suite is 2 bottles fixed to the shower wall so if you are bathing, bad news!

It’s good to remember this is a castle for several reasons. The first being the heating system is antiquated. Second, wi-fi has dead spots and does not necessarily work in your room. Third, the castle caters to groups/weddings and some get quite loud. They are celebrating. With these things in mind it was a nice stay.

Window was open and bin lid broke. Room 308, hole in floor between single beds, shower needs maintenance, 2 hand towels and 1 large towel.
Bar - ordered Malbec 250ml.£11.50 which is fine, but had no cork screw so chose a screw top castillo Diablo Malbec but afterwards noticed charged 13.30 for a Rioja. Really just poor, struggled to find a pen, wine glass was unclean!
Just very sad for such a stunning building. Breakfast was included and that was really good, apart from forgot 1 breakfast, but management need to train staff and check rooms and lots of cobwebs on speakers and corners of the room, just needs some attention to detail.

Style over service

Wedding guest and booked a standard room at £200+ per night. Checking in slow and complicated (hotels.com
Booking) Lovely venue and very unique but bed was soooo uncomfortable and rock hard! Bathroom was also a bit tatty and needed an upgrade/better shower screens as taking a shower meant water everywhere and a bit dangerous. Some of the event staff were a bit rude/inexperienced and breakfast the next day was a 40 minute wait (the staff on that morning were lovely but clearly not enough of them/kitchen overwhelmed with orders which when they arrived weren’t that great tbh. Paying for the venue style rather than the services tbh and tbh, would have had a better night’s sleep and breakfast at a Premier inn for 1/3 of the cost.

A unique venue in a quiet rural environment , quaint rooms, quality dining. Well worth a visit and definitely a fantastic venue for weddings and relaxing stays.

We stayed for one night that clashed with a taster event for couples with weddings booked or planned. Early evening we sat outside and struggled to get a drink.

The restaurant was excellent for dinner and breakfast, although running out of veg & the need for supplementary charges on menu even for coffee is strange.

Great place for a Wedding but not a romantic break

First thing..this is an AMAZING place, as close to a 'real' castle that you can get to stay in. The location is equally amazing, perched on top of a hill with spectacualr views across the Cheshire plain and of Beeston Castle on the neighboring hill.

BUT..... it should also be said that this is very much a Wedding Venue (and a great venue for a wedding at that). But if you come here and aren't involved in a wedding then you will feel like you are somehow crashing an event, rather than having a romantic getaway. That said, even with the music in the Great Hall at full volume, our room was so far away and up so many steps and behind so many thick walls, we honestly couldn't hear a thing.

This is NOT a place for people with mobility issues (although there were guests in wheelchairs, so I guess there are accessible rooms). Our room was in the Keep and was a VERY strenuous walk away up endless flights of steps.

We ate in the brasserie, and this was good, if not spectacular. Good bistro style food.

We also drank in the Wine Cellar bar. A very atmospheric cellar room with a massive vaulted ceiling. But this is not cheap! £25 for a beer and a G&T!

Breakfast was good, but again not fabulous. This possibly illustrated the small issues I had with this hotel. Our room was over £200. For that, I would expect a decent breakfast. But, while you could get basic things, most others attracted a surcharge.

Staff were mostly fine, but Reception were frosty - again not what I expect

Second morning we waited for about an hour after placing order for hot breakfast and it still hadn’t arrived and no one addressed our concerns so we left.

We went to this place for a wedding. It was not cheap to stay here for 2 nights and we had high hopes due to the cost of the room.
On arrival we were warmly greet and given our room key. Navigating the hotel wasn’t easy and on finding our room the room was small with only a double bed in it. We noticed quickly once in the room there was a loose floor board outside the room and when anyone walked past our room the noise of the loose floor board echoed in our room which made relaxing and sleeping very difficult.
The bed when trying to sleep was far too soft causing my other half to sleep on the floor as it was more comfortable.
The room was quite basic and the decoration looked dated and not in a good way. The rooms looked run down and you could see paint marks around the room. The TV in the room was on the side wall which meant it was awkward to watch in bed and there was nowhere else you could watch it from.
The bathroom was badly thought out, the shower was very strong which was great but lead to water covering all the bathroom floor with no way to stop it.
The rooms were very hot and stuffy with only a small window to open. They did provide a fan but there was only limited surfaces to place this on for both guests to benefit from this.
The food at the hotel was to a good standard but we was informed we was best booking in advance as may not be able to get a table otherwise. The drinks were quite expensive and a service charge was automatically applied on every drink.

This hotel is out of the ordinary it is a very old property that has been made into a hotel

The rooms are basic my only complaint is that the double bed was not big enough my husband is 6ft 2 and it was a bit of a squeeze

Our evening meal in the 1815 restaurant was excellent and after a few drinks in the wine cellar bar we slept well 😊

I wanted to stay at this hotel because my great grandmother was born in the toll house at the entrance to the estate her father was the gardener for the Tollemache family who owned the castle

It has not disappointed.

Absolutely stunning

Excellent check in, beautiful old castle room, comfortable stay & delicious breakfast, although a closer eye on hot food stocks would help - I ate breakfast in parts as no eggs out.

An opportunity to stay in a castle in the Cheshire countryside. The backdrop of the castle is really nice. This hotel appears to survive on the number of weddings it hosts. The gents toilet on the evening of the wedding was filthy and clearly not monitored and managed through the evening very often. The room we stayed was quiet and well away from the wedding - it was ok but dated. For some reason two Henry vacuums were stored in the walkways to the room rather than in a cleaners cupboard. The dinner room lacked atmosphere- but the food was really tasty. The staff seemed to disappear quite a bit - it took ages to get served drinks. The hotel staff were ok but didn’t really wow or engage that much to reflect the grandeur of the location.

This is not a 4 star hotel

I'm an American who has a bucket list item to spend a night in a castle and I found Pekforton on the route of my road trip in England. Boy was I disappointed. The exterior itself and grounds were stunning, but the interior was.... well, think they turned an old castle in to a hotel some time in the late 70's to early 80's and left it alone. It's a 2 star hotel at best.

The walls were paper thin, you can hear everything going on including a couple having a shag (unfortunately the highlight of the stay). The floor boards creak like nothing I've ever heard before. The beds are uncomfortable and the staff acted like they were better than us.

We decided to try the restart down stairs, which was at least half empty, and we were told because we didn't have a reservation that we would have to eat in the lounge across the hall behind reception. Upon ordering we were immediately presented with the bill and made to pay before we received our food. The food was good, but by that time I knew I was going to get up in the morning and get the heck out of there.
