Peckforton Castle We spent 2 nights – separate occasions - at Peckforton .We had wanted to go for a long time and we got a really good Deal through WOWCHER – DBB for the first trip and a good deal for the second .As a Travel Agent , I spend a lot of time looking at Hotels and here’s my honest review : When we arrived , we drove up the Road / Track and was met with a real WOW .What a place , its amazing .Really every girls dream to have a wedding in a real bona a fide Castle and the inside does not disappoint either .As you walk in there is a Suit of Armour and the Reception is very opulant with its beautiful Burgundy and Gold Wallpaper and Burgundy Armchairs .The Chandelier , just adds to the feel of the place . The Receptionist that greeted us , was lovely and very professional and she took the time to show us where the Cellar Bar was – which wasnt open the first time around . We then went to our room before going back to the Bar for a drink before Dinner .Our room The Bunbury – was amazing .The Bed was comfy and the 2 foot thick walls would have easily drowned out any outside noise , had there been any .The Bathroom was HUGE with a Claw foot Bath and a walk in Shower . We made our way to the Cellar Bar and had a glass Wine before Dinner .This Bar was round with tiny long narrow windows .When we arrived , there was only us and the Bar and it was a bit atmosphere-less .People did start to come in but I think as it becomes more popular , it will get better ? After the Bar , we went for Dinner at the Brasserie . The first time we stayed , we had Dinner at the 1851 Restaurant and it was really lovely .We had hoped the Brasserie would not disappoint which I am happy to say , did not with its old fashioned Stoves and antique Pots n Pans .The food was great and the Service , excellent . Breakfast next morning was at the 1851 and after an initial mix up , we were seated and served a Breakfast Fit for a King – in a Castle and it was thoroughly enjoyed . We had a seemless check out and away we went with a Bucket list check off under our belts – A stay in an authentic Castle . Downsides – As there’s always room for growth Not enough entertainment for Guests (those not attending a Wedding ) on an evening . Would we go back ? - never say never but we also want to try the other 2 Hotels that this group offer first . Thanks Peckforton and Mr Cropper for your Hospitality , we had a good time .
