So glad we didn't check Trip Advisor before going. This hotel is a mock-medieval castle built in the 19th century, but it's so unusual and impressive you feel like you are in the real thing. For those who didn't like the "dark bits" maybe any sort of castle-based hotel isn't for you! We paid £65 per night, b&b, and were... more

What a let down. This place markets itself on the fact that it is a castle on the top of a hill, but sorry guys, you need to deliver more than that. Broke the cardinal 'trip advisor' sin, by staying at the hotel and afterwards reading the reviews. Pretty much all the poor reviews mirrored my experience, just reminded me... more

We got married at Peckforton Castle on Sept 12th. Having paid upfront I was a little concerned, but I needn't have been. It was perfect. The venue was magnificent, and the organisation was impeccable - with particular thanks to Mark, the Duty Manager, who was absolutely fantastic and made everything run smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble, the rooms were... more

We booked Peckforton Castle for our 2nd wedding anniversary. The castle is certainly spectacular, built as a faux medieval castle complete with Bailey, battlements, peacocks, pheasants and its own falconery! Housed in the middle of its own woodland with access via a long winding drive through wooded grounds, the castle is certainly spectacular and built entirely from local Cheshire stone.... more

Peckforton Castle is an amazing place... My husband, who can be a man of few words was totally overwhelmed by our 3days stay! I had found the Castle on the internet whilst searching for a romantic break for our honeymoon... we were married on the 4 september 2009 and stayed at Peckforton Castle on the 7, 8 and 9th september...... more

This truly was an awesome experience. The staff/owners were helpful,courteous and friendly. You are free to roam around the permitted areas of the castle and grounds. Would recommend having drink in the wine cellar bar which has no electric lighting just candle light which adds to the atmosphere. The breakfast is amazing. An added bonus is the Falconry. With the... more

before I start the review just a small tip if like me your travelling from the north west and using a sat nav when you get to the last junction and the sat nav says you have reached your destination you have to make the descision of turning left or right well turn right after about 500 yards the castle... more

The value here was just amazing. Fantastic building in a wonderful spot, great food, efficient and friendly staff in every department. If I had to single out one member of staff it would be Hayley in the Bar for her warmth and consideration. I used to be a hotel manager myself and travel widely every week. Very rarely does everything... more

What a disappointment! The location is fabulous and has plenty of potential to be a superb getaway. The main stumbling block is the lack of atmosphere caused principally by the indifference of the staff. The car park is a long way on a slooping, unmade path, from the reception, signs are unclear, it is unlit and unmanned. Do not arrive... more
