“The restored castle is set among 100 acres of parkland and gardens, creating an immediate sense of escape. While one visitor noted a gap between the promise of fine dining and the actual restaurant experience, the carefully maintained property offers varied accommodations and bespoke wedding packages. I think it's a beautiful setting worth considering, particularly for special occasions.”
