“Stepping onto the grounds felt like entering another era, with the impressive drive setting a stately tone before even reaching the castle itself. The spacious rooms, particularly those within the castle walls, provided a comfortable base, and the attentive staff were a highlight, always ready with a helpful suggestion or a friendly chat during meals. It's the kind of place where the grounds invite exploration, often with the charming company of the resident wolfhounds, making a stay feel both grand and remarkably personal.”
