It also had amenities like unlimited WIFI with fast connections. Fitzherbert Castle is a lovely place to spend a vacation with family and friends. I would love to go back to this place.

      Lovely, clean, friendly and comfortable hotel. These are the basic features that a family would like to have in their hotel when they travel away from home.

      My stay in the hotel had been comfortable and satisfying. They staff were friendly and they kept the place (room and outside) clean and tidy. We always had beverages' sachets top-up daily which was nice, especially when we came back from the cold weather outside!

      Good”

      Motel was in a good location, clean with very friendly staff. The internet was terrible. I ran a download speed test and it was 2.1mbp and hardly usable as it continued to buffer even on surfing.
