Reviews
We enjoyed a great 4 nights here in February. The accommodation was good, with lovely underfloor heating, a great shower, and everything needed for our stay. The downstairs rooms are larger than they appear in the pictures. The beds and sofas aren’t super comfy, but are fine for a few nights. The accommodation is in a wonderful old building, under the old chapel. The owner provided free tea, coffee, wine, crisps and biscuits which was a nice touch. We ate every night at the local Gastropub the castle arms inn, just 5 minutes walk down the road, where the food was excellent and really good value. The only slight negatives are that the late check in and early departure times really eat into the stay, and you need to tidy everything up before you leave, which is a condition of the company that runs the rental, but seems strange when you are paying the rent. That aside, a really special place to stay. The owners were very helpful and we will definitely come back if we can.
My wife and I stayed here in August with our dog and we loved it! Very comfy bed, lovely bath/shower facilities and amazing under-floor heating to keep the place toasty all year round. Nice private courtyard are to enjoy in the sunshine, and with Snape Village nearby you're only a short walk from a great pub (the Castle Arms) with gorgeous food. All the kitchen facilities you need to cook home meals, with a good selection of crockery and cutlery to suit your needs. Only minor quibble is that the TV in the lounge is a bit small...though with the area you're in, do you really plan on watching much telly? Despite being a castle you'll also be surprised at how hard it is to find for takeaway delivery drivers...could possibly use a lit sign at night on the roadway, so that they can see 'The Undercroft' clearly from the streetside. But honestly...if you can't find a castle, are you even really looking?! All in, a brilliant venue and one we'd happily go back to in future.
