Wonderful room, in a brilliant location, after a disappointing check in. We arrived at this hotels reception (in a different location from the room we eventually stayed in). We were given the option of two rooms (this sounds great, but we were able to see the first room, with no option but to gamble on the second), the first of which I was shown. It was small and dark, but in a reasonable location and would have been acceptable. We were also given the choice of a second, "down the road" but were unable to see it before deciding which room to take. I was told it was very similar to the one I was shown, but noisier. We eventually decided to take a gamble, which paid off. The room was very spacious and just across the road from the castle, and as for the noise- it was extremely quiet with the windows closed, but much noisier with them open. All in all, this was a lovely hotel, but I would have expected a better check in and there should have been no choice given as it made us feel uneasy.
