- SSarah & Laura22/05/2025The most perfect wedding we could have hoped forThe most perfect wedding we could have hoped forWe had the best and most perfect wedding we could have hoped for at the Castle in May 2025. The venue was so characterful, the grounds looked beautiful in the sunshine and the peacocks were quite the spectacle. We loved having the ceremony in the Cornwallis Suite which was the perfect size for 60 guests. Nothing was too much trouble and you were all amazing, even helping us set up beforehand. All our interactions with all of you were really positive. We highly recommend itwe couldn't be happier.We had the best and most perfect wedding we could have hoped for at the Castle in May 2025.

- SSophia Clarke-Roberts01/11/2023Our Wedding Day couldn't of been more PerfectOur Wedding Day couldn't of been more PerfectFrom the package on offer to the pre wedding communication to the day itself, our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. The package on offer includes absolutely everything you would want for your day. There was plenty of communication beforehand to make sure all the little things were in place before the day. The day itself, to say something is perfect is a bold statement, but our wedding was. The staff on the day couldn’t have done enough for us.From the package on offer to the pre wedding communication to the day itself, our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect.
