Overall Rating
Excellent
Delightful buffet experience taken in the main showroom before the evening show. Because dinner is taken before the show itself, this buffet can be very busy, with sometimes long queues sp patience is needed. The selection each night is varied, of very good quality and a fair selection. Deserts can be good, with a large selection of cheese and biscuits, fruit, and the ice cream is delicious with an outstanding selection, so all in all, if you want to queue then dinner will be worthwhile.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Ramps will take you up to the castle entrance, and reception desk is just inside, then it’s all nice and level through the whole complex, with lifts proved if staying on a break here. There are places for you to stop and rest as you explore the castle and its modern buildings housing rooms and entertainment areas. Outside also have seating areas for you to enjoy those warm sunny days.
Parking & Transport
Good
Easy enough to get here, not to far from the M5 / M42, and along fast roads. Parking is on hard compressed chippings, but no allocated disabled bays, just park as close as you can to the castle. It’s a bit of a push for your carer and wheelchair, so would be best to drive up to the castle entrance, drop you off, then the driver could go and park the car. We give just 3.5 stars as we found it difficult to push the chair along the paths to get to the castle, and would not fancy the push if cold and wet, but if your driver dropped your party off at the entrance, then it would be so much easier for you all. The driver may not agree when facing the weather, but your visit will make it all worth while.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
The accessible toilet is close enough to the bar and restaurants, along well kept wide passages, and large enough to take almost all wheelchairs and scooters, ( do enquire beforehand about large scooters ) It is well maintained, very clean, grab rails and pull cords provided, and wheelchairs can spin inside the room. Just about enough room for carer to give you minimum help.
Staff
Average
Quiet, generally unseen, but on the ball.
