Castillo Del Bosque la Zoreda

Whilst lovely, this is barely a hotel, and certainly not five stars. It is a conference and wedding venue that seems to try and sell its rooms to private guests during the week. While the staff are delightful and very helpful, and the venue is beautiful, the facilities and service are very limited. There is no pool or spa (despite these being pictured on all the holiday websites we looked at). Although the staff did say they'd taken the spa photos down on their own website, this was not made clear at the time of booking. During the week there is an extremely limited menu of just five basic items available to eat (lunch and dinner) - and as the hotel is a good 15min drive from the nearest town, this was a serious issue. The room (we had a junior suite) was absolutely beautiful but again, clearly a wedding venue rather than a hotel - no room service, and very few amenities - although the surrounding park and walks are lovely. We came here for a quiet and romantic holiday away without our children and to be fair, we achieved that. However, I would warn anyone who thinks that this is a "hotel" to beware - it is not, it is a very charming conference centre and certainly every day we were there, they had a big event and we felt very much in the way. We ended up staying elsewhere for the last two nights of our stay, as there are far nicer places in the area - something the Castillo did not seem surprised by and did not ask us why we were staying elsewhere or if anything was wrong. When we finally checked out, despite having paid in advance, the (again charming) lady at reception had no idea that we'd already paid, and there was confusion over whether we had to pay again. We left with not a good taste, and sadly - although we have nothing bad to say about the staff or the location, both of which are very nice - we would not come back. However, other people seem to have had a lovely time here so perhaps it depends what you are looking for, and what your standards are. Final word though: cannot fault the staff, all of whom were courteous, charming, spoke perfect English, and were very patient and polite.

Beautiful, elegant hotel! Just outside Oviedo proper, this hotel is a throwback in time…gardens, vintage elegance, with wonderful service, food, and care. Adrian, took wonderful care of us as did all other staff. Their bucolic surroundings are a welcome reprieve from busy city centers…definitely a place to feel pampered. We would definitely return! Thank you to all there, for making our stay so memorable.

I just want to congratulate the staff at this hotel. Not only were the facilities top notch the reception staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. I cannot remember the guys name however I would personally like to comment him for a truly 6* experience

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting spoiled by poorly knowledgeable staff.upon arrival by car we were misdirected twice by the same member of staff to the wrong parking area which was confusing in itself. There was a wedding and other events that obviously took priority over hotel guests. The air conditioning in the room did not function it was 29 degrees outside.When we called reception we were informed they controlled the air conditioning!!!!!!!!. I ordered a poached egg at breakfast with some bacon I am still awaiting the poached egg.Very poor service at breakfast. We used the spa it was outstanding one of the best i have used in an hotel

Fabulous hotel. Amacong setvice and a fantastic Spa. Only negative was that the evening menu was very adult focussed and didn't take into account the tastes of the teenage members of our group.

I liked the building and the surrounding park. Very quiet and with a touch of nobility.

THE SERVICE AT THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. THE CASLE IS BEAURTIFUL AND THE ROOMS VERY NICE. MY ONLY COMMENT TO THE MANAGEMENT IS THE CARPETS NEED TO BE REPLACED IN THE UPSTAIRS ROOMS AND HALLWAYS. OTHER THAN THAT, THE PLACE WAS EXCEPTIONAL. YOU WONT GET BETTER SERVICE ANYWHERE!!

Beautiful and unique hotel. The staff couldn’t be kinder and more accommodating.
