人生需要體驗一下城堡酒店,相信很多人不會再來住,房間温度28度沒有空調,衹有一個風扇完全不管用,開窗進蚊子,不開窗悶死,一晚上無法入睡。第二天把浴巾擋在玻璃上擋了一天,晚上好一些,但是隔壁11:30回來開門説話又被吵醒,太熱又很難入睡,一次體驗就夠了,不會再來。

The stay experience was very good and very photogenic. The hotel has a great atmosphere, complete facilities, and beautiful surrounding scenery. It feels like being in a manor castle. I look forward to having the opportunity to stay here again in the future.

The castle is located deep in a forest like a small park, with a parking lot in front and a lawn fountain and a small horse farm in the back. The two-bedroom suite we rented was really big, with 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 bathroom, and a small dressing room. The big room has a canopy bed, the small room has a double bed, and the living room has a sofa bed that can sleep two people, so it feels like it can sleep up to 6 people. It is still very spacious. Many of the furniture are antiques or antique designs, and the overall feeling is that it is the bedroom of the owner of the castle or manor. There are billiard rooms and meeting rooms in the public area. There are various furnishings in the corridor, armor, antlers, falcon specimens and oil paintings. The breakfast is continental + English, buffet + order. An unparalleled experience.

Have visited Melville and had fantastic experiences ,and have recommended the castle to family and friends who also enjoyed. Visited on the 13th January met by a not very happy front of house. My 89 year old mother also stayed …my mum had something to eat , dinner came we asked for condiments waiter returned minus cutlery 10 minutes passed cutlery at last. We sat in the bar for a drink were met with sorry no brandy or Guinness not the bartender’s fault. Quests at one point were waiting at the bar whilst the bartender collected glasses elsewhere again not his fault. Morning came mums full Scottish was excellent I had smoked haddock that was inedible poached egg was fine , no side plates for toast . Check out was the worst once again an unhappy front of house . I queried the bill which was£130 more than we had purchased she asked if I was sure and could it be ordered from my mums room. She said she needed to talk with manager. Who asked her to check out all invoices after approximately 15 mins I had had enough, my partner went to deal with this issue again left waiting we decided to leave his bank card and left . On the way home we received a call the the same woman to give us the good news that we only had to pay for what we had like she did us a favour!! Most of the staff were lovely just need proper training. Would not recommend or return.
