March 2025A really beautiful castle with a fascinating history. We had a brilliant guided tour from Eugene - so informative and entertaining. All the staff we ran into were so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend a visit. We visited as a group of friends who work in heritage - and we wish our castle was as beautifully decorated! But ours is a little older!
