It is a great experience to stay at this palace. The checkin agents great. NOTE. the restaurant is WAY over priced and the staff I would say they think its a Michelin star but its not close. We had to preorder dinner and still took near an hour. Staff unfriendly and I can NOT STATE how over priced. I found after their is a cafe close that I would have chosen. DO NOT EAT IN THE RESTAURANT. you will overpay get bad service and not great. Sad as the place and the property to explore is amazing. The restaurant left a really negative impact on us.

Beautiful old palace steeped in olde world history. Not in it's full garden glory in winter but still stunning. Beautiful tiles, paintings, sumptuous lounges and dining area..needs some money to restore the exterior to its full glory ,but a quirky place to stay....so well looked after by the staff... Delicious breakfast and dinner. There is a history packed convent next door and many forest walks to enjoy.service was superb.

Palace Stay
Fantastic Place that could need some updating. Go for the palace and the fantastic park/grounds. Do not go for modern amenities. The beauty of the place makes up for stuff like peeling wallpaper and weak showers. Great experience.
