    Had a lovely time there. The surrounding are very serene, very pretty and clean. Don't expect a full polished castle, but the tour shows the experience of a family doing their best to keep the place.....  more

    Fantastic castle! Passed through this castle on one of our school hikes. Was closed for the day but went in as far as the tea room; ate some wonderful cakes. Definitely coming back here for a proper tour!

    Very interesting. It as a long varied history. It is only open on certain days so you need to book but it is worth it.
