Guest access
Guests enjoy exclusive access to the main castle and its grounds, including all living areas, bedrooms, and amenities described. For operational purposes, two separate areas - the adjoining gatehouse and a private floor in the tower - are not part of the guest accommodation. These discreet spaces ensure the castle remains fully at your disposal during your stay, allowing you to experience the magic of having a castle all to yourself.
Other things to note
Please note, this is no ordinary hotel experience - housed within a very old listed building, we take great care to preserve the integrity of its rich heritage.
Unlike the polished perfection of a Hilton, our castle retreat embraces its age with open arms. Expect to discover hidden nooks and crannies, along with charming quirks that add to its unique character and allure.
From the exposed stone windows to the single-glazed panes, every inch of our building tells a story. You'll find parts where the building's original features are lovingly exposed, offering a peek into its fascinating past.
But don't worry – it's these imperfections that enhance the charm and character of our fairytale abode. After all, who would want a castle experience with double glazing and clinical perfection? Embrace the authenticity and immerse yourself in the magical surroundings
