点评:We had a nice time, though for us its a quick local break for a night.
The castle is a nice building, it'd be a good wedding venue I think (including with its woodland wedding setting, or the rooms inside).
In terms of staying there, there are limitations. Its a small property, it has a small restaurant (food is decent if its included in your rate, somewhat overpriced to pay the prices otherwise), a small bar with limited atmosphere, a spa which is nice but is again small (no pool, hot tubs or anything of that nature - its treatment rooms, the mud rasul, a steam room and a sauna room and that's about it).
There's some short trails in the woods on the property, but short is the operative word, and most of it overlaps with the Live for Today Activity Centre activities. To walk much further you are going on roads.
I wouldn't particularly use it for a base for the area, but I guess you could being right on the A64 if you are willing to drive everywhere (its possible to get the bus into York/Leeds, but you need to walk a mile on a grass verge by the A64 dual carriageway to do it and cross a bridge if you need to be on the other side of the dual carriageway).
But it served our purposes well, a quick night break with spa, dinner and breakfast for a rate which was attractive compared to other similar venues in the region. That said, the rooms weren't particularly impressive and nor were some of the corridors - not that there was anything wrong, just don't expect luxury.
For breakfast, you order the cooked English Breakfasts items you want, though they had no vegetarian alternative to sausage and bacon - they often do, so I was told, but there had been supply issues. There is also a small continental buffet with limited choices like cereal, croissants, yoghurt and juices.
Staff were nice. We probably will return for a quick break another time.
翻译:我们玩得很开心,虽然对我们来说这只是一个晚上的短暂休息。
城堡是一座漂亮的建筑,我认为它会是一个不错的婚礼场地(包括它的林地婚礼设置,或里面的房间)。
就住在那里而言,有限制。这是一处小地方,有一家小餐厅(如果包含在您的费用中,食物还不错,否则支付价格会有点贵),一家氛围有限的小酒吧,一个不错但又很小的水疗中心(没有游泳池、热水浴缸或任何类似的东西 - 它的治疗室、泥浆浴、蒸汽房和桑拿房就是这样)。
酒店内的树林里有一些短途小径,但短是关键词,其中大部分与 Live for Today 活动中心的活动重叠。要走得更远,您就得走马路。
我不会特别将其用作该地区的基地,但我想如果您愿意开车到处走走,您可以住在 A64 高速公路上(可以乘坐巴士前往约克/利兹,但您需要沿着 A64 双车道的草坪步行一英里才能到达,如果您需要到达双车道的另一侧,则需要过桥)。
但它很好地满足了我们的目的,快速度过一晚,享受水疗、晚餐和早餐,价格与该地区其他类似场所相比很有吸引力。话虽如此,房间并不是特别令人印象深刻,一些走廊也是如此 - 并不是说有什么问题,只是不要指望奢华。
早餐时,您可以订购您想要的熟食英式早餐,尽管他们没有香肠和培根的素食替代品 - 他们经常这样做,所以我被告知,但存在供应问题。还有一个小型欧陆式自助餐,选择有限,如麦片、羊角面包、酸奶和果汁。
工作人员很好。我们可能还会再来稍事休息。
