Testimonials

May I please thank you and your team on behalf of our group for a really wonderful tour yesterday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, braved the tower, loved the cakes and even the weather stayed kind to us all. It was such a treat to see your beautiful home.

Our guided tour was extremely interesting and well explained, allowing us all the time to then browse as we visited each room and each part of the Castle. Plenty of history to take in! The day was certainly a success and the feedback from our Members has shown as much. And, our visit was finished off very nicely with the tea, coffee, and home-made cake!

May I firstly thank you again for making our WI trip to your home such a success. It was a pleasure to meet both yourself and George, who also very kindly took the time to make us all feel welcome. Your tour and tea were excellent and it will be a memorable event in our diary. Please also thank your staff who were very helpful and friendly. I know that many gardening tips were discussed.
