The grounds were phenomenal. Loved the couch seating area. The hawk?/falconery school were a check off the bucket list

Mary-ann1 United States of America

The people were as friendly and beautiful as the grounds of the Castle. Although the staff at the Dungeon was wonderful our Cote de Boeuf for 2 was disappointing. The Wylde and Cullen's Cottage were most excellent for dining!

Walter United States of America

Our stay was FANTASTIC! The staff was exceptionally helpful, the rooms were luxurious, breakfast was delicious, the amenities were excellent, and we were able to make reservations for tea at the castle.
