The entrance of the hotel is the best part of the hotel with a stunning knight on horseback which interacts with guests when they try to pull the sword from the stone. There are also portraits up on the wall who talk to each other from across the room.
I was surprised to find it didn't have the classic lobby where you can sit and relax and get a drink. The grand entrance just has the check in desk and a shop where you can get cold drinks, sweets and plenty of wooden swords for your little knights.
After our check in we went for walk around the grounds. There is a raised wooden path which connects the hotel to the Knights Village. This is where the restaurant and the rest of the Warwick Castle accommodation is including some very cool looking Woodland Lodges, Medieval Glamping, and the lavish Tower Suites.
Through the lodges and glamping is a grassy area beside the river where there is a large Medieval tipi. This is where the evening entertainment of knight school, have a go archery, sword fights and circus games are laid on for guests. My girls enjoyed the archery the best and it was great that the staff running the entertainment were dressed up as and in full medieval character. It was a gorgeous place to sit in the evening sun and relax while the kids played and we chatted to other guests.
Food & Drink
There is a small outside bar and a takeaway food stall here. During the evening they served burgers, hotdogs nachos and donuts so you can enjoy these while watching the entertainment. There are picnic benches or bring a blanket for the grass, you would also be able to bring along a picnic and own drinks to enjoy.
As i mentioned above as there was no lobby to sit in we ventured down here but this didn't open till after 5pm so we did have an hour between check in and anything opening where you couldn't get a drink and we noticed there wasn't hot drinks available at these stalls or at the restaurant.
Up at the restaurant in the evening, you could book a table to enjoy an "all you can eat carvery". We were booked in at 7.30pm so did miss a bit of the entertainment as this was on 6-8pm. The meat at the carvery was absolutely gorgeous, there were Yorkshires, stuffing and roast potatoes and a small selection of vegetables. There was also extras for children if they didn't like a carvery which included sausages, nuggets, pasta, hashbites and beans. For your starter there was a salad bar, and a fridge of cold gateaux's, jelly and cheesecakes for dessert.
Back at the hotel room for bedtime the girls were excited to try out their bunkbeds. The room was a great layout & design. The bunkbed were hidden so both adults & children had their own space. The medieval themed room had shields, swords and bedding which made the room really fun for the girls. We all sat in the king size bed and chilled watching the massive tv for a while before settling down for a brilliant "knights" sleep.
Breakfast
After a lovely morning walk around the grounds i collected the rest of my family from their cosy beds to go for breakfast. This was in the restaurant and a buffet style. There was a great selection, including warmed pastries, a full cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit, tea & coffee and fruit juices. And the classic self loading toaster which seems to take forever but this meant i could chat to some more guests while waiting. We were all excited to visit Warwick Castle after we had eaten.
Final Verdict
Staying at the hotel really made our visit to Warwick Castle more of an adventure, plus it definitely helped as we live 1.5-2 hours away so getting up and having a lovely buffet breakfast instead of driving for 2 hours to get there for 10am entry was a real bonus. The hotel rooms are fun, well laid out and super comfy. The evening entertainment was that little bit different and younger children especially would really love the sword fighting school and the playfulness of it all.
