    Our overnight stay was wonderful. The food was delicious, our room was divine and the castle absolutely enchanting. Thank you Mrs Nightingale and staff, we hope to visit again soon.

    Stayed here overnight as a stop off on our way back from Scotland. The rooms are pretty decent with a good bed. Unfortunately the soundproofing is not so good as we were woken in the night by slamming doors and stomping down the corridor adjacent to our room. We had an evening meal and the food was fantastic, really fresh well cooked food.
