Is it worth the exceptional rate?

Yes

Didn't spend the night, only had dinner, but the food was exceptional. If that wasn't the best steak I've ever eaten it was in the top 2.

if you ever get a chance to stay at the castle you should it's it's expensive but believe me you will totally enjoy it you will love it especially on the weekends and wigs that they have their specials like they have bands Beautiful music Fair they have dinner on the grounds I'm telling you the rooms are exceptional and the employees are wonderful everybody's just fantastic so if you get a chance you should really stay there the castle is totally write it number onekeep in mind the castle looks like a castle on the outside but it's not like the castle on the inside it's updated to today's standards but it would truly be splendid if it was like really old time castle

I have not stayed there myself

If you've never stayed in a castle before, absolutely. It's pretty breath taking to experience. Even the "cheapest" room is extravagant.
