Lympne Castle

We got married at Lympne Castle a few weeks ago and it was perfect. The location is outstanding - a beautiful castle, stunning grounds and a view over the sea. The staff are friendly and hard working. Joy - the event manager - was fantastic to work with, and made sure our day flowed seamlessly and enjoyably. I love what the new owners have done with castle - keeping its history and beauty while adding some quirky new features such as the dog-themed bistro and medieval bar. Couldn't recommend this location more highly. Not just for weddings, but for any sort of event, or casual lunch/drink. Will be back many, many more times.

So we got married in the church (next door) and hired out one of the rooms in the castle for our reception. I can’t fault the service. It was spectacular and really made our day special. I don’t think I’ve ever had service like that where the staff are so professional, personable and just amazing all round. We were aware that we didn’t hire out the venue or anything like that specifically for our wedding - it was a room in the castle so we didn’t really expect much. But the staff made us feel like we did. They even roped in some of the gardeners to pull smoke bombs for one of our pictures! The staff made every effort. Laura and Mike were great and went beyond expectations. We just have no complaints at all with anything. It was an amazing day. The castle itself is picture perfect and for us was the perfect setting. It’s rich in history and the attention to details is incredible. There’s multiple rooms of varying sizes. We had a small wedding so hired out one of the smaller rooms but it looks like they can cater to a wedding of any size. We also stayed in one of the cottages within the castle grounds along with the guests which were equally perfect. Pretty much every wedding I’ve been to the food has been mediocre at best. But the food here was great. Everybody really enjoyed the food. The kitchen obviously know what they’re doing so kudos to them. This is honestly the best place to have your wedding. You’re in very safe hands with the staff here, the castle is gorgeous (and the views!) and the we couldn’t think of a better place to do it. Thank you for the special day!

Our wedding day was absolutely faultless from start to finish! The wedding team were so helpful and knowledgable throughout the planning process and our coordinator Dan looked after us for our wedding day - thank you Dan! Lympne Castle is such a beautiful venue, and we can't wait to visit again once the castle bedrooms are ready! Love, Sarah & Tom

From start to finish, the staff at Lympne Castle were amazing. Professional, courteous, and incredibly helpful. We planned our own wedding, and although I feared it would become overwhelming, Kate made it so easy for us. The day came off without a hitch and everything was just beautiful, from the venue to the food. I am so grateful to all the wonderful staff, Kate and Mike, Joy, and all the sweet and charming servers.

Lympne Castle could not have made our wedding day more special, it was a beautiful and intimate occasion from start to finish. We got to decorate the chairs as we liked and having the rooms to get changed in made it very easy in the end. The food was good and the staff very helpful, especially Mike and Laura. Everything was thought about and all ideas welcomed and accommodated where possible. We had the best day and would repeat it in a heartbeat to soak it all up again. The castle was a little bit of history that made the start of our adventure even more magical. Thank you to everyone at Lympne Castle.

We're probably biased, as we were married at Lympne Castle (long time ago!) - location is fantastic, inside and outside areas are lovely and the staff were so nice. Cakes and drink was good too! We'll be back soon to try out the Sunday lunch and probably one of their special events.

Lympne Castle was truly perfect in every way. The Bridal Suite is stunning and was such a great space to enjoy the morning with my bridal party. We were lucky enough to get married on the lawn outside, the view is unbelievable and our guests were wowed! Our wedding breakfast was held in the Great Hall and genuinely felt like something out of a fairytale. The food throughout the day was amazing and the staff were so attentive and accommodating - especially our wedding coordinator Kate (we can’t thank you enough!!). I’d recommend Lympne Castle in a heart beat and our guests still talk about how magical the venue was - can we do it again please?! Love, Mr & Mrs J

Enjoyed a birthday meal celebration in the same room that the couple got married in several years earlier. Service was superb, layout & ambience perfect. Roaring fireplace, delicious Christmas dinner. Even the heavy rain couldn't dampen the mood. Brilliant visit! Food & drinks: Incredible, delicious. Even the gravy jugs, dinner plates & vegetable platters were quirky and fabulous editions!

Fantastic venue & setting for my daughter’s wedding, Mike & Kate are a credit to the castle helping to plan the big day, and running the event on the day, and getting Pineapple cottage ready for their overnight stay. Thank you all so very much. Regards Ian

It was our first time back since the new ownership. We always liked the venue (easy load in, amazing views, it’s a castle!). But it has improved dramatically. Really friendly staff from our perspective, and a great atmosphere. Also, the food was better than before, it was lovely (we just had cooked buffet, but it was great). Apparently they will be turning the upstairs rooms into accommodation in the future. It has so much potential and it’s great to see it being used.
