Outstanding place for a weekend getaway. How often can you have a whole castle to yourself? Sadly there's only one bedroom in the castle however there are plenty of bungalows in the courtyard that cater for the less lucky. I'm sure that it would make a fantastic wedding venue or a great location for...

I performed two acoustic sets at this wedding venue last year. The room the ceremony was held in was lovely, and the gardens outside were a great spot for reception drinks. The staff were able to help me move my equipment from the first location to the second, and everything was run very efficiently...

This is a family run castle with no funding. This lovely family allowed us into their home at a very reasonable cost for our wedding and let us do as we wished to dress the venue to prepare it. We arrived on the Wednesday to prepare for the wedding on Saturday. It was a brilliant way of making our w...

Beautiful place. Hosts very welcoming. Nice peaceful stay. Very comfy room. Lack of wifi was a shame but it's on the way as it's a big operation to install but wifi works fine in the guest lounge (see pic) which has sky hd on a bigger tv. Nice breakfast.

This is a four star setting with a fascinating historical story. Rooms are a bit shabby but they are in ancient thatched cottages so I can make allowances. Breakfast was appalling. Supermarket budget toast with jam and marmalade sachets, average coffee. A complete lack of consideration for paying cl...

STAY AWAY, this place is open 'by appointment only', and only caters for weddings, etc
Considering the historic nature of the place, this is an abuse of ownership that is part of the nation's history, not meant for private enjoyment and profit.

We recently visited the castle for a tour on the off chance with our 2 friends, and were made very welcome by Sarah and then given an excellent extensive, detailed and well informed private tour by Robert. Beautiful grounds and a gem to visit, well looked after. Thoroughly recommend.

All I can say is, this place blow me away, would highly recommend, such a beautiful quiet place, great for couples and weddings, would not take children as there is only a tennis court to entertain in the evenings, will definitely be going back.
