Penrice Castle Tours and Activities

Lovely stay. Room was beautiful and staff were very welcoming. Arpit at the Spa was very helpful by giving us a tour on the first day and remembering that my son couldn’t swim and provided him with floats. Thankyou

Always amazing and friendly staff, with very little issues. However, on this occasion it wasn't ideal and I felt a little deflated. We had initially booked a 1 night stay but changed this for 2 nights. Everything was well and as expected as per our previous experiences. We started to encounter a couple of issues with some random men (3) knocking on our door on 2 separate occasions which I just put down to random behavior. Secondly, we had a very rowdy couple next door arguing and shouting, alongside banging and slamming the interal bathroom door. This was followed by a family with children who were running, thumping and screaming until gone 2am. I don't blame the children, as a mother of 9 children I know how difficult it can be to entertain them in a single room away from home and they are entitled to make noise. However, it didn't seem like the parents done very much to discourage them, as they had been very loud themselves. I booked a 2nd night because I just needed the rest and the break. They couldn't accommodate a room change due to a wedding which was fine, so I just chanced it and prayed for a quieter night. It wasn't as bad and the children did settle before 1am and woke at 6am LOL. The other issue was the draining of the shower. Whilst showering I had to turn it off 3 times just to allow the water to drain otherwise we'd of made a new Hilton swimming pool. My daughter thought it was hysteral. The rooms and breakfast are always perfect :)

My booking described the room as, "One Bedroom Apartment with Balcony". As it was a ground floor apartment it had an enclosed patio. The crockery and cutlery were stained from where they had been in the dishwasher, one knife had food baked on it. The television was dated and the remote needs new batteries. The furniture in the bedroom was dated; the mattress was old and past its best. Some of the floor tiles in the bathroom were loose and/or cracked. The shower head was small and dated. Urban Space encourage you to recycle but don't leave you bags or containers to do so. The kitchen light would turn itself off after a few minutes.
