Dating back to 1209, this impressive Gothic castle is set within a stunning 650 acres of parkland and forests.

The building itself has existed for centuries, so it's steeped in history and folklore. Long, narrow corridors, archways, trinkets, and wall decorations create a rather quaint palatial ambiance. That alone makes staying there worthwhile. The grounds surrounding the hotel are also quite picturesque, great for a morning walk, weather permitting of course. The courtyard, which features a lovely seating area, was closed, probably because it's off-season. I'd imagine it'd be open by Spring.
We did not have any dinner/drinks, so can't comment on that. We did have buffet-style breakfast (included with the price of a double room), which was tasty, particularly the sausages. There was no scrambled egg option though, only fried.

Margaret was a very friendly host who immediately made us feel welcome and at home. The house is beautiful with lots of attention to detail. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, and everything was clean and tidy. Margaret provided us with delicious ingredients for breakfast, including eggs from her own chicken. Speaking of animals: a cute dog greeted us upon arrival, and a relaxed cat visited us at the window in the morning, adding to the friendly atmosphere of this place. We couldn't be happier about our stay and would return here any time again! Thank you!
