Enough kitchen space to make and serve our evening buffet and make breakfast.The turrets where we slept were beautiful and the castle grounds are breathtaking.Red inn pub is 2 minutes walk away and serves very reasonably priced food which is delicious.Would highly recommend this magical castle for a truly unique experience.Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025

Mandy made sure everything was clean and she was very welcoming. We had the place to ourselves which was great and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025

I celebrated my 50th birthday with 24 family and friends. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful the main lounge and library great places to gather and spend time together.

The team were so flexible to make our experience as easy as possible. Everything in the ad is exactly as it’s described and more. It truly was perfect!Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024
8/10Goodmichelle b.19 Dec 2024Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication locationNoneOur castle adventure!We had such a lovely time together for a long weekend away at this fantastic castle. It isn’t perfect but the housekeeper and owner are great at communicating and any issues we had such as with the wifi (not their fault) were dealt with as best as they could. The owner is working his way around the castle doing it up and I am sure the new kitchen will be amazing when it’s done and make a nice addition to the shared area. Would go againStayed 2 nights in Dec 2024Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jan 2025Hi Michelle

Thank you for the lovely review and we are so pleased you had a nice time. We hope to see you back soon. The summer is wonderful at the castle with many birds and animals around.

10/10ExcellentLisa B.2 Dec 2024Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNoneFriend's 60th Birthday weekend.The planning phase was excellent eg negotiation with the manager John re number of rooms etc facilities and many other issues. Arrival was smooth. The Castle is amazing especially when lit up and the grounds are lovely. Osman showed us around and he was very professional and helpful. The Turret rooms are fabulous with exceptional amenities including the sofa beds which are very comfortable. Also the Castle rooms are very impressive. The layout eg kitchen lounge and dining room plus fridges etc worked extremely well for our celebration.

The location worked well for us as we visited the Gladstone Pottery museum Emma Gladstone Pottery Factory and the next day the National Memoral Arboretum

We are only disappointed we didn't stay for longer - next time!!

We will definitely visit again and recommend to our family/friends.

The location is absolutely beautiful and the owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the character and class of the building whilst adding additional renovations to give the modern touch. Communication was great and we had a fantastic weekend. It was my second time staying here and I can say I’ll definitely be back again in future!Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024Response from VrboOwner on 4 Dec 2024Hi Rebecca thank you so much!

10/10ExcellentSimon M.19 Nov 2024Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNoneIdeal location and 'homestay' for large family groupThe perfect location for my sister's 50th birthday. we booked 4 turret apartments and a main guest bedroom in the house for 15 of us. Great 2pm check-in time and John allowed us a 3pm check-out time on the Sunday which meant we could spend time together as a family for longer. Bedrooms/apartments are very modern and fully equipped. Living spaces are large and enough space for large family dinnersStayed 1 night in Nov 2024Response from VrboOwner on 4 Dec 2024Hi Simon thank you for your great review. I'm so glad you had a great time and please come and stay again maybe next summer ☀️
