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.
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, weâll 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.
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.
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. Itâs not just a stay itâs an experience!Would 100% recommend! The host was very accommodating and helped to make us feel welcome
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.
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.
Before and during our stay John, the host, was always attentive and supportive. Mandy who is the on-site Manager was lovely and really helpful and was there to meet us when we arrived. Because we live local to the area Mandy was good enough to allow my mum and grandkids have a look around this historical property too. It is an amazing old building dating back to the 13th century. There was a good combination of old features particularly in the main entrance and sitting room and also luxury well equipped modern bathrooms. As locals living close by, it was a fantastic opportunity to stay overnight in such a wonderful building. From the village and small road that leads to the castle you wouldnât know it was there. Well recommended to stay somewhere unique and historical. For those with families it would make an ideal base to explore the area and visit Alton Towers.
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
What a great facility! The title speaks for itself and delivered as promised. We enjoyed staying in this spacious, historic CASTLE! Now, there are some renovations going on, and they were up front about that during the tour, however, that did not detract from our stay! Bathrooms were updated, which was nice, and our rooms were historic and grand. We walked the grounds and inside explored the rich woodwork, the long halls, and the entirely unique place. Amazing find. Rooms have heating for the cool months and there's a great little pub right around the corner within walking distance. Would highly recommend for a group or a family for a little adventure, which so many floors and halls to roam and imagine what these walls have seen over the centuries!
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
A truly unique experience. Mandy was so very welcoming and gave very interesting insight to the history of the castle. You are doing a superb job bringing it back to its splendor.
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!
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.
We booked a night for my daughterâs hen party. The castle looked amazing on the photos but in person it was unbelievable. The turret rooms were excellent and well finished. Some of the beds in the main castle were so beautiful and ornate. Mandy was brilliant. Such an amazing host and made us feel at ease from the moment we arrived. We need to think of a reason to stay again as we all had such a good time.
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.
