The castle is amazing, plenty of space to spread out and great facilities. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the local caretaker couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. The food hamper was a lovely touch and we all had an amazing stay. ##### Christine M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### leejones2405 Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Opulent versatility Wonderful, grand, welcoming place. We used this as the setting of a team meeting to build our relationships, objective complete! The setting really brought everyone together with space for everyone to be involved. A packed agenda during the day, relaxing together cooking regional dishes in the evening, then games in the cellar in the later evening. This place is so versatile in amazing surroundings, i would definitely recommend for a group booking. ##### leejones2405 Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin M.
