Quiet location close to everything via car. Beautiful building and grounds.
I asked if flowers could be placed in the room to help celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. I was assured that they would provide them prior to our arrival. The gentleman at the reception was very apologetic and assured me that they would have some the next day. Sadly, we never received any.

Beautiful and well kept manor and grounds.
The breakfast was fantastic. Fresh food with great flavors. The chef always made eggs, then served hot veggies (different each day), cold salad, fresh fruit and baked goods. They accommodated my dairy allergy each day and even made some dairy free muffins one day so I could enjoy those too.
The staff was friendly and the chef/manager went beyond answering our many history questions and sharing stories of the manor.
Very clean! The housekeeping staff did a great job in our room and the shared space was also very clean. .
Zero complaints about our stay. I would only suggest a name change. It is NOT a castle.

The rooms were beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and we felt pampered. The gardens were outstanding and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
We were accidentally put in the wrong room and our actual room wasn’t nearly as breathtaking after spending an hour in the room at the top of the castle.

The staff! Amazing! Next, the beautifully maintained structure, furnishings, and garden. Very quiet and peaceful. Easy parking on the premises (off-street).
Wonderful views from the top room. The kitchen in this room is well appointed. The balcony is nice for a glass of wine or a cup of tea in the afternoon. The bed is comfortable.
A variety of snacks, fruit, and drinks are provided on the main floor. The breakfast has everything you could possibly want - juice, fruit, cereal, hot items, and wonderful muffins - and the poached eggs are perfect.
And, firstly and lastly, the staff!
The hike up the "servant" stairs to the very top room (15 steps up from the bedrooms floor). As mentioned, they are very, very steep and narrow.
I think the suite at the top used to be the servants' attic accommodations, as the narrow stairs also continue down from the bedrooms floor to the back of the main floor (kitchen, dining, parlors). Guests, like the owners, use the separate, more gradual steps from the bedrooms floor to the main floor.
I'd like to have an inside dining table next to the kitchen, rather than the current configuration: as it is, the king-sized bed is in an area next to the kitchen and there is an extra bed in the bedroom.
A bit far into town for take-out food, no restaurants within walking distance.
None of these minor "complaints" would keep us from staying here again.

Breakfast was exquisite! Such a wonderful variety and quality, as well as good hours it was offered. The room was well-furnished and offered the quiet solitude we asked for.
The shower could have been a bigger space, but honestly the tub made up for it!

We booked the room in the heritage hotel to enjoy the ambiance and historic surroundings. We were not given a chance to experience it though because were placed in the basement suite where the maids used to sleep rather than on the main historic building. First thing we saw entering the room was a sink and a kitchen - Home Depot special plus the old Old sofa. The smell of mold was overwhelming. I woke up with a headache next morning. The bathroom featured the soak-in tub in early 1970s style. We lived in a dark and smelly basement for a couple of night. Horrible! Main building looked authentic a lovely but we were deprived of the experience despite paying the full price! We were not given an explanation other than we should have called a hotel directly rather than book it via Booking. com. That was the first for us!

Quiet and comfortable, not too far from downtown. Breakfast was so good, the best I had so far in Victoria.
Needs some updates, the carpet on the top room was a bit of an eyesore. I would also go easy on the fragrance, the smell is quite strong.

Our room (Nottingham suite) was very large and super clean. The view out the many windows was great and everything worked. Jeff cooked up an excellent breakfast and was super friendly -- as were the other staff. I totally enjoyed the stay there!
The hot water ran out toward the end of filling the giant jet tub, but that's really a small detail. Everything was wonderful.
