  The Retreat Castle Hotel

  3 Lorna76 am 18 Juli 2008

  The Retreat Castle Hotel looks quite spectacular from the outside, although the main driveway is really just mud with a few stones scattered about! Inside, the bar is full of clutter, they have went a little overboard on this score! Lord Dicks Diningroom has miss matched lampshades which just look out of place, and again the walls are cluttered with old mirrors and pictures, however the fireplace in the room gives a cosy feel even if the decor doesnt. The conservatory is light and airy, but in the winter can get very cold, unfortunately this is the only place you can take children! The food is of a good standard but the portions are massive and quite off putting i found. The childrens portions were fine, but not a great deal to choose from. The menu had a good selection to choose from, but on more than one occasion what i had ordered turned out not to be available! Some of the staff were helpful and friendly but others just seemed to be hanging around doing nothing! There are good grounds out to the side (including a beer garden) and the front of the Hotel, also an enclosed childrens play area. If you are a lover of peacocks there are plenty of them walking about the grounds too. I find the retreat quite pricey as basically the food is pub grub, perhaps you pay for the quantity, however, the quality is still good.
