The castle is beyond what any of us could have imagined and the perfect setting for my best friends hen! Mandy was on hand for anything we needed and incredibly kind! Thank you so much for having us!
The property exceeded expectations! John was super helpful and always answered our questions quickly. And Mandy was so nice and thorough on the house tour and made sure we felt right at home.Cannot recommend this property enough, we’ll definitely be back next year!
Beautiful, breath taking Castle. The host John, Mandy and Vlad were so good, communication excellence, rooms spotless, facilities amazing, kitchen fab, no words to deserve the bedrooms, ballroom, living room, it's simply gorgeous.
We loved our stayed in this historic property. Some of the rooms were cleaner than others and some areas looked a little run down, for us, this added to the atmosphere but other guests may expect more manicured gardens etc. We were impressed with the quantities of tea, coffee, shower gel etc that were available for our use. The host was very friendly and helpful. Once we had settled in she kept in the background so we really felt that we had the place to ourselves.
Very pleasant stay. We were a large group of families and the owners went out of their way to accommodate our needs. Fantastic place and we'll be delighted to book again for next year.
Amazing stayz everyone in our team enjoyed the stay. It is worth every penny to be in this marvellous castle. Mr John and co host mandy was very warm and welcoming, very accomodative to changes. Definitely recommend for a group stay.
The check in was very awkward because we were given the gate code but didn't know it was a secret. The attendant refrigerator had rotting food in it which filled the kitchen with awful stench that disuaded us from using the kitchen. The detached tower we stayed in was supposed to accommodate 4, but the sheet was ony large enough for one. We were invited to tour the main mansion, but with little direction on which places were off limits.
WOW what an experience. Staying in this historic castle was incredible. The building is beautiful and full of history, yet warm, comfortable, and very welcoming. It was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday, and the atmosphere made it feel extra special and memorable. We absolutely loved our time here and would happily return. It’s not just a stay it’s an experience!Would 100% recommend! The host was very accommodating and helped to make us feel welcome
Amazing stay at this lovely castle. Hosts were so welcoming and helpful. It is so much more than what the pictures show , already planning a return visit . Thank you
The place is a uniquely beautifully back in time castle style setting, with a very peaceful and historical atmosphere! The host and property staff were so accommodating and welcoming!Thanks!
Fabulous place to stay. Completely unique accommodation and it really did feel as though we were staying in a fairytale castle. Very responsive and helpful host. There were 7 of us staying for a birthday celebration and it is just perfect for relaxing and enjoying each others company. The period bedrooms and the contrasting modern en-suite bathrooms are absolutely stunning. We have already booked again for next year
Awesome property! My family loved staying here, and the kids have a great memory of spending the night in a castle. The owner and property manager were both great and very communicative.
Had a wonderful time. Castle is amazing. Rooms are lovely with confy beds and fab bathrooms. Private grounds made it perfect for a large family gathering. Our host Mandy was spot on.
Amazing venue. Child and dog friendly. Both host and caretaker Mandy were lovely. Was given directions and gate code prior to stay. Excellent facilities including large kitchen. Grounds are lovely with moat running around castle.
The location and accommodation was superb, a perfect venue for our Christmas Murder Mystery themed 70th birthday celebration. The panelled walls, four poster beds, and quirky layout of stairs-cases and so many different rooms kept adults and children intrigued. We had a chef cooking for our party who valued the fully equipped kitchen. The owner John responded to every query quickly and effectively and the housekeeper and security/ maintenance guy were very helpful both prior to our stay ( allowing visits and answering queries) and actually on the day ensuring everything was ready for us, including making sure the whole house had a festive feel.
