I have visited there a few times Stewart, it's very atmospheric. I couldn't put my back to the wall in the caves under it, I felt like someone was behind me and watching even though there was no one there. We stayed in a supposedly haunted hotel. Nothing happened this time but I have had odd things occur on previous stays like when I awoke one night to hear a horse and carriage on gravel and the call of the horseman. The carriage stopped and the horses were stomping on the ground and making some noise. I got up to look out of the window but there was nothing there (no, I hadn't had that much to drink!) I mentioned it to one of the staff the following morning and discovered I wasn't the only one who had reported hearing a phantom carriage! Originally there had been a gravel drive where coaches pulled up and I have since seen some old photographs depicting this.
The barmen told me about a 'presence' which some of the staff had sensed in the cellar, when I persuaded him to let me have a look I found that I couldn't even walk down the corridor unless the door was left open - I felt that uncomfortable. I didn't see anything but I certainly felt it and it wasn't friendly! Another odd thing that happened on a subsequent stay. I heard a loud crash coming from my bathroom in the middle of the night. Gingerly I got up to take a look and found everything that I had stacked on the bathroom shelf had now piled itself up in a pyramid in the centre of the bathroom floor. Nothing was broken not even the shelf. I left everything where it was until the following morning and slept fitfully for the rest of the night!
