In recent years the castle has been sympathetically restored and offers an array of rooms perfect for every size of event, from small meetings to a large exhibitions; from 4 delegates in a private dining room to 220 guests in our marquee. Guests are invited to enjoy the tranquil comfort of this historic castle including our 33 comfortable bedrooms, on site brasserie restaurant & cellar bar, local woodland walks, country pursuits and activities such as clay shooting, golfing, horse riding and falconry.
