Atrium Buildings for En-Suites

The Atrium contains most of our en-suites - Atrium courtyard (pictured below) is so called because what is now an open courtyard used to have a glass roof over it.

On the ground floor we have disabled rooms AB11, and 12, AB13 family room (shown in first pics above), AB14 (shown second pic below) and two family rooms AB15 and AB16.

Use Bedrooms Table above to reserve rooms for your wedding guests. No need to reserve doubles unless you have specific preferences for certain guests.


Disabled rooms & Ground Floor rooms

You may want to plan who goes into the two disabled rooms and who will share the family rooms.


You may want to earmark ground floor rooms for elderly guests, or for guests with dogs (if guests wish to bring pets to your wedding).

Guest Capacity 105

The castle's guest capacity is 105, yet we only have 26 en-suite rooms.

If you actually had 105 guests, 21 of these 105 guests would go into the budget rooms in Nurses Block, 6 in AB18-20 non en-suites, and 78 could fit into the en-suites. This can be achieved if you make full use of all family rooms.

Reserve suitable groups of guests willing to share to family rooms to make best use of these rooms.

The Table shows doubles, triples and family rooms with the tariff for the first two guests at £75 in en-suite rooms per head on wedding night (min £150/ en-suite room), and guests above first two per en-suite room at £50 PPPN (per person per night) B&B.

Using your allocated 25 en-suites under the Special Wedding Package you need 50 guests at £75/ head, so each room has two occupants at £75 / head and any extras in family rooms are at £50 per head.

Room Tariffs
Minimum of £150/ en-suite,
£70/ non en-suite

If using >25 en-suites, then extra guests in extra en-suites pay £150/ double en-suite based on two sharing.

If any doubles are out of commission for any reason you may need to make up the shortfall with extra £75/head guests in AB15/ TFFF to meet your Accommodation Guarantee of 50 X £75 PPPN. Reception will advise if you need to do this and only applies if two or more en suite doubles are out of commission.

Single guests pay the full room rate, so your guests pay £150 for an en-suite double room as the en-suite rate is £150 whether single or double occupancy.

Singles pay £70 for a Nurses Block non en-suite room as the non en-suite rate is £70 whether single or double occupancy.

There is ONE Nurses Block Single (room 11) at £35.

Occasionally where there is high demand for en suites, and you have a lot of singles unwilling to share family rooms, single use in the Nurses Block of some additonal rooms may be permitted at £35 / guest – in room numbers 1,3,5,7,9. This must be agreed in advance with your wedding planner.


Family Rooms use


While the table above allows 8 for the Gatehouse (AB25), you would not put the full 8 into this room unless many were children or knew each other very well (e.g. Bridesmaids who all get along).

The Gatehouse (AB25) should be limited to 6 at most. 2 children can sleep in a small loft annex. Or reserve AB25 for four adults, two in the upper bedroom and two in the ground floor bedroom. Gatehouse is used for loads of single bridesmaids at some weddings.


Rather than 6 in the Duplex (AB31), it is better to keep the lower room as a lounge (also bathroom is rather small for 6). Duplex sleeps 4 using the double bed and the twin beds in the loft bedroom or 6 if using the sofa bed in the lounge. AB25 and AB31 should be reserved for families.


AB16, though it can take four using the sofa bed in the lounge, might be better used for 2 adults in the bedroom and one adult on the sofa bed or at a push, two young children who can share the double sofa bed. Sofa bed not really suitable for two adults.


Under a Friday or Saturday Wedding, you need 50 guests at £75 each. We have 26 en suites so this will work. But if any rooms are out of use, AB15 and TFFF can if necessary be priced to take 4 adults paying £75/head tariff. This is due to the layout of these two rooms, with two self-contained bedrooms within each 'apartment'. This should not be necessary if each of your allocated 25 en-suites has 2 minimum per room and all rooms are available. Your wedding planner will advise what to do if any rooms required under your accommodation use guarantee are planned to be out of commission on your wedding day.
