A medieval-core building now run as a hotel and spa, with grounds where peacocks roam freely among the woodland. Reviews are mixed on the service - some guests call the staff warm and attentive, others find it inconsistent for what's marketed as a four-star stay - but the building's history is real, even if the current experience is squarely that of a hotel rather than a heritage attraction.

Worth the trip

The grounds - roaming peacocks and woodland walks get more consistent praise across reviews than the hotel service itself.

Before you go

It's hotel-guests-only, so there's no separate historic-site visit here; reviews are split on service consistency, so it's worth reading recent guest feedback before booking a stay specifically for the castle experience.

WHAT VISITORS SAY · 4.3 / 5 across 1,370 Google reviews

Most reviewers had a very positive stay at Hazlewood, praising the food (repeatedly singled out as excellent), comfortable rooms, and friendly, attentive staff, with several mentioning the spa as a nice touch. One reviewer had a distinctly different experience, describing cold and unwelcoming service and finding the room hadn't been properly cleaned before their stay. The consensus leans strongly positive, but that one account is worth noting given how sharply it contrasts with the rest.
