Style over service
Wedding guest and booked a standard room at £200+ per night. Checking in slow and complicated (hotels.com Booking) Lovely venue and very unique but bed was soooo uncomfortable and rock hard! Bathroom was also a bit tatty and needed an upgrade/better shower screens as taking a shower meant water everywhere and a bit dangerous. Some of the event staff were a bit rude/inexperienced and breakfast the next day was a 40 minute wait (the staff on that morning were lovely but clearly not enough of them/kitchen overwhelmed with orders which when they arrived weren’t that great tbh. Paying for the venue style rather than the services tbh and tbh, would have had a better night’s sleep and breakfast at a Premier inn for 1/3 of the cost.

A unique venue in a quiet rural environment , quaint rooms, quality dining. Well worth a visit and definitely a fantastic venue for weddings and relaxing stays. We stayed for one night that clashed with a taster event for couples with weddings booked or planned. Early evening we sat outside and struggled to get a drink. The restaurant was excellent for dinner and breakfast, although running out of veg & the need for supplementary charges on menu even for coffee is strange.

Great place for a Wedding but not a romantic break
First thing..this is an AMAZING place, as close to a 'real' castle that you can get to stay in. The location is equally amazing, perched on top of a hill with spectacualr views across the Cheshire plain and of Beeston Castle on the neighboring hill. BUT..... it should also be said that this is very much a Wedding Venue (and a great venue for a wedding at that). But if you come here and aren't involved in a wedding then you will feel like you are somehow crashing an event, rather than having a romantic getaway. That said, even with the music in the Great Hall at full volume, our room was so far away and up so many steps and behind so many thick walls, we honestly couldn't hear a thing. This is NOT a place for people with mobility issues (although there were guests in wheelchairs, so I guess there are accessible rooms). Our room was in the Keep and was a VERY strenuous walk away up endless flights of steps. We ate in the brasserie, and this was good, if not spectacular. Good bistro style food. We also drank in the Wine Cellar bar. A very atmospheric cellar room with a massive vaulted ceiling. But this is not cheap! £25 for a beer and a G&T! Breakfast was good, but again not fabulous. This possibly illustrated the small issues I had with this hotel. Our room was over £200. For that, I would expect a decent breakfast. But, while you could get basic things, most others attracted a surcharge. Staff were mostly fine, but Reception were frosty - again not what I expect

Poor room
Castle is stunning, food was amazing,the service in the 1857 restaurant was very slow, room was very dated, ( granted you are staying in a old castle ) but come on , get the basics in order, the room felt like I was in a very cheap b and b in Blackpool, for the price of £205 a night, I would expect the room not to look so tired.

Somewhat disappointed
Accommodations were good but service was poor. Communication on check in was limited. Went to breakfast first day but was unsure if it was included or extra since menu stated price (turned out it was included). No slotted times so it go to be a long wait. Second morning we waited for about an hour after placing order for hot breakfast and it still hadn’t arrived and no one addressed our concerns so we left. Continental breakfast was very sparse that morning as well. Dinner in brassiere was good but again slow service. Expected more for the price we paid.

Peckerton Castle - A must visit place. Lovely place aesthetically. Set in woodlands and still. has the old worldly essence of its time. Some staff seemed friendlier than others and we thank you - you know who you are. Lovely place to have a weekend. The rooms were clean and homely. Dinner in Brasserie was good. Breakfast in 1871 restaurant was good and staff accommodated need well. Lovely fare. Overall I would go back to Peckerton Castle.
