Description

Steeped in history, myth and legend, the castle is renowned for its lavish interiors, intricate ceilings and world-famous art collections, and is a fairy-tale setting for civil, religious and humanist wedding ceremonies. Adorned with masterpieces by Raeburn, Gainsborough and Batoni, the castle's exquisite Gallery and interconnecting Drawing Room provide a glorious setting for drinks receptions, ceremonies and dinners. From the castle, a short stroll through the magnificent grounds leads to the Racquets Court, a glass-roofed pavilion with a sprung dance floor, perfect for ceilidhs and evening receptions. For larger wedding receptions, a weighted marquee can be erected on the South Lawn, with the castle providing a spectacular backdrop for wedding photography. The 8 bedroom Preston Tower within the castle offers luxury self-catering for up to 16 guests.

Definitely recommend

We’ve traveled all over and this is by far one of the finest places we’ve ever stayed at would definitely recommend will definitely be going back there again ourselves!

Exceeded expectations

We stayed as a group of 12 for a family birthday. The tower not only met our expectations in terms of quirkiness but also far exceeded them in terms of comfort. Everything is exceptionally well looked after with a mixture of modern comforts and antique paintings, perfectly keeping with the surroundings. For anyone looking to stay in a little bit of history, I can't recommend it more.
