Janis F, Cambridge, visiting Seat Unique Riverside Tue, 4 July 2023

Overall a lovely place to stay, very cosy, comfortable and relaxing....

Liked: A real castle! Very comfortable and cosy and the staff and my room were lovely!
Disliked: I wish that the restaurant had been opened at all times and that the bar had more variety in respect of special diets. For non-drivers it was a very long walk to the road, to the bus stop - a little lift option would have been lovely as I hurt my ankles with walking backwards and forward up that slope!

Very good

Liked: Bar was lovely, room was very original and unique in many ways. Food was very good, especially breakfast and the library menu. Tea menu was quite limited so we didn't bother with the restaurant.
Disliked: Only let down for me was the cleanliness of the room, stains on the carpets, mould in the windows. Didn't look like it had been hoovered in days.

An experience that is rare...

Liked: Unique castle setting. staff were friendly and they made me a sandwich out of hours as I checked in last minute and late in evening.
Disliked: No heating in my room worked , duvet wasn’t thick and slept in coat. Decor was tired but expect upkeep is expensive and hard to manage.
