The spectacular salon can comfortably seat up to 70 guests, along with 20 more around the impressive upstairs balcony. Once your vows have been exchanged, you will no doubt be ready to enjoy a delicious bespoke meal, one that has been prepared using only the finest local, seasonal produce.

If you choose to make use of both the big and small drawing rooms, the castle can seat up to 100 guests around elegantly-decorated round tables. The castle’s stunning dining room is the perfect setting for the traditional cutting of the cake, as well as for the evening buffet and the arrival drinks earlier in the day. Of course, if you would prefer to use another part of the castle for any of these, the wedding coordinators would be very happy to accommodate your wishes.

Once the celebrations have come to a halt, you and your guests will want to retire to your respective rooms.

Period furniture sits side-by-side with modern bathrooms that have been installed with great attention to detail.

For larger groups, the estate is home to eight secluded cottages, between them offering accommodation for an additional 49 guests.

Beautifully integrated into the 200 acres of parkland that make up the estate, the unique gardens are something to behold. They were originally laid out back in 1816 and much of the landscaping still remains to this day, most notably the unique walled garden.

Galyna, I really loved our stay there. Nan, Anee were great in arranging everything, Martin was brilliant helping us onsite, Castle team is simply the best. Castle was warm, food delicious, every activity nicely planned and team was flexible if we needed to change anything. Extremely grateful to everyone who made our stay nice and cozy. The only thing I would fancy is to have some tea bags in the room, so I could enjoy it before bed.
Trusted GuestWould recommend. Property as advertised. Staff accommodating and practical to work with. Kind, diligent, and attentive staff at property. Bedrooms are very comfortable and elegant. Common areas are slightly commercialized, which takes away a bit from the charm.
Trusted GuestAttended this beautiful castle for my friends wedding in November and it didn't disappoint. When the bride came down the staircase it was like something magical from a Disney film. The rooms were stunning and the staff were brilliant.
Trusted GuestHad our wedding at this stunning venue...the staff were absolutely wonderful. Could not fault anything about the service and quality of everything they did for us. Would recommend this place to anyone who was looking for the perfect venue to get married.
