19/05/2022 - AB26: We had good food and enjoyed it. Very hard working staff and so friendly. The waitress was kind to Gran on the first night and offered her preferences to what was on the menu. Much appreciated. Beautiful and easily accessible. A very beautiful place I would recommend. I took my dog and it was easy to get her in and out to the gardens and the park. We joined a wedding party for 2 nights . It was wonderful to stay in a fairytale setting and it was just like being a guest in a friend's home . Thank you. Read More 2022 reviews from guests here.

We want our guests to be able to stay the Night Before our wedding
Choose a Midweek or Intimate Wedding Package, on a Monday to Thursday, or a Friday Wedding.
If no Wedding before your wedding day, you can reserve some bedrooms for the night before, for your own guests.
However you cannot reserve rooms the night before your wedding if your wedding is on a Saturday, as we'll likely have another wedding on Friday and they'll need all our bedrooms for their wedding.
(4) Winter Weddings Jan Feb March
Last Minute Weddings (within next 6-7 months)
If your wedding date is in next 6 - 7 months, or in Jan Feb March, see Last Minute Wedding Package (Min. 50 day guests with Min. 20 guests overnight.)
In winter (Jan, Feb, Mar) the wedding before yours will be a smaller winter wedding not using all bedrooms. So some guests can stay the night before, but priority is given to the wedding of the day, should they need more rooms for their guests.
Update on Inflation & Pricing - 01/05/2023:
"Despite inflation at 10% in 2022, we held our rates unchanged up to end 2023, to see how long so called 'transitory' inflation lasted. We did not want to raise prices as one of our selling points is how reasonable our rates are. Indeed we had managed not to change the wedding meals and drinks package pricing since 2018! Yet our running costs have gone up by circa 40% in that time.
Sadly inflation is now 'bedding in' at 10% or more. In fact our food and fuel/ heating and general running costs and castle maintenance have shot up much higher than the 10% national inflation rate. Rates for 2024-2026 allow for inflation in costs of the wedding breakfast, drinks, venue hire and all sundries.
In effect our rates will remain unchanged in real terms, it is just we have to recognise the value of money is dropping faster than it was before COVID.
Inflation once unleashed, is tricky to control. I remember the 1970's! Hopefully this time around won't be so bad. But businesses have to judge the 'value of money' going forward. We've seen our prices slipping lower compared to most wedding venues. With weddings sold so far in advance, all venues must allow for inflation.
Venues need much the same income. We can either host 50 weddings at £20k or 100 at £10k! More bookings allows lower pricing per event. We've offered lower rates because we host more weddings (145 in 2022). With food up, electricity (up triple in one year!) and heating bills all increasing hugely in last 12 months, our tariffs move in line with inflation. All venues will increase tariffs in 2023/4.
Book a date ASAP to 'lock in' our current tariffs for weddings in 2023-2026. Book your date early to secure current rates - start a monthly instalment plan a year or more in advance of your wedding date."
