“Sneaton Castle struck me as more than just a wedding venue; the surprisingly excellent food, especially the lamb, signals a kitchen operating at a high level. The thoughtful décor, blending priory history with agricultural touches, creates a warm, quirky atmosphere that's both inviting and memorable. It certainly seems a place where new beginnings could feel particularly special.”

Excellent Castle Stay

ample parkingstandalone bathgarden restaurantstrong cooking smell
I found ample parking upon arrival I also noticed the hotel was quite spacious. The standalone bath was a highlight after long walks. The breakfast included fresh, quality ingredients and was served in the beautiful garden restaurant I consider it the best I've ever had.
I found the room smelled strongly of cooking through the evening and again in the morning it was above the kitchen after all.

wonderful experience at castle suite 7

attentive stafflovely roomamazing sculpturesevening meal
The staff was fantastic and couldn't do enough. Our room, a castle suite 7, was lovely. Attention to detail was obvious. The grounds featured amazing sculptures, and i found the castle easy to find. The location was perfect.
I expected to arrange for an evening meal upon arrival, though this was not an option. We then walked to get sandwiches.

The lady at check-in was amazing. the room was beautiful and it was very clean. Plus, tea and coffee were provided. the castle itself was gorgeous and its grounds were immaculate.
the room i stayed in was right above the kitchen. i could smell cooking all evening and again in the morning, it was quite strong. i think i just got unlucky with that room, though the price we paid for it including breakfast was £180.
