- MMr & Mrs F08/01/2018Beautiful site for a small weddingBeautiful site for a small weddingWe married here in 2015. We took one look around and fell in love with the surroundings and the intimacy of the room and castle. Sue was brilliant and couldn’t have done more to make our day more special. We had a small ceremony with only 14 guests and the lady Eleanor room was arranged in a way that felt intimate and full. Afternoon tea in the tea rooms complete with vintage china was a lovely touch after. So lovely to say we married in a medieval castle and the photos are stunning!We married here in 2015.
