Stunning location, beautiful gardens , gorgeous food, very helpful staff . What a lovely house. We attended a family wedding, and would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to hold an event/ wedding there!. A lovely walk around the gardens is also a nice thing to do.

Fabulous wedding and celebration of Georgia and Jason,s marriage, very emotional but very joyful, staff were always at hand and helpfull. Only one point of issue, suggest anti slip mats in the baths, I had a shower and slipped but managed to retain my balance, someone else may not be so fortunate, BUT an excellent time was had, many thank.⭐️?

We rented the entire property for a family gathering in December 2022 which included relations from America and England. We selected the property as it looked gorgeous and offered ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms (my elderly parents required the use of walkers). The manager of the property, Chris Rose, was absolutely wonderful and very helpful throughout our weekend stay. While the house is beautiful, it requires a lot of refurbishment, updating, and loving care. We lost power to the house every day which resulted in no heating, no running water, and no electric. The downstairs bedroom bathroom, which my elderly parents were staying in, had no running water for the duration of our stay. They were forced to wear blankets and use the reception toilets to wash themselves. A plumber was called, but unfortunately, he did not attend the property during our stay.As a host of luxury rental properties ourselves, we understand that things can go wrong that are outside of the property owner’s control. However, at the very least, a property of this size and age requires a generator to maintain essential utilities, especially in the winter. The property manager waivered some fees which we were grateful for. However, we felt that our stay had been seriously compromised because of an avoidable issue which the owners failed to address. Furthermore, when we reached out directly to the owners, Alex and Gretchen Boon, as advised by the property manager, they did not even respond.We are leaving one star, not because of the beauty of the house, or the wonderful staff, but due to the absent and neglectful owners and the very poor value for money. This house deserves to be respected and taken care of. Unfortunately, it feels that the owners are not invested in the property or the experiences of their guests. If any readers are considering hosting an event at this property, please ensure a generator has been installed to avoid a similar experience to ours.

Very nice country mansion. Was the ideal location for a small/medium wedding. The staff were all excellent and nothing was too much trouble.

I can't shout about this place enough. Fantastic staff and setting, attending weddings here has been a joy. Excellent place, fabulous food and beautiful well kept house and rooms, couldn't be better!!

The surroundings and food were top star. It’s a work in progress and has had to recover form COVID. I have taken all of that into account when considering this review. But the offer in general is marred by very poor service and staff. Sorry to give a poor review but that was my experience.

Everything g about 10 Castle Street oouzs quality. We had our daughters wedding there and what a day. From start to finish everything went smoothly. We'll done to the whole team for making this special day, extra special.

We have just attended a wedding here. It is stunning. The gardens are beautiful and the interior is elegant. Our room in the new wing was comfortable, with a massive bed. However what makes this place is the incredible manager Julie who is utterly amazing. I watched her ensure the bridal party had a fantastic day- managers like this lady make an event. Cannot recommend Julie, her team (especially Rhiannon) and this venue, enough ?

Emma Sullivan

Beautiful house and atmosphere, the rooms are really nicely decorated and the grounds are just so well kept.I loved the menu the cannelloni is highly recommended! The staff are all very attentive and friendly, we had a wonderful meal here and drinks by the fire afterwards. Can't wait to visit again in summer so we can sit outside and make the most of the grounds.

Such a lovely escape from the city with wonderful food, exceptional service and spectacular gardens. The Alpaca’s were a great surprise and from our perspective ; a brilliant dog friendly destination. Will most definitely be going back,

Really excellent Sunday evening supper! It was very quiet, as expected during the first week of January, but the service and food were top rate. It's a beautiful building and we were made to feel very relaxed and comfortable. Finishing off our meal with desserts in front of the open fire was also a lovely touch. We'll certainly be back soon.

We had a lovely evening, hosted by the lovely Laura.This was my first visit to 10 Castle Street since June last year and my have things improved. The food was great and a fun sharing menu, not something we were used to but everything we ordered was super tasty and we enjoyed mixing and matching the dishes. Best of which was the Monkfish, yum.

We were recently guests at a lunch in this fabulous gem of a hotel. it's an area we have not visited before but we most certainly will go back . Innovated delicious food served in an array of small, medium or large portions. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful in assisting us to make the most of our experience .

Lovely house and very sweet staff, BUT....the food was inedible and the service was terrible! We paid a lot of money to stay, the food..well, I’ve had better in Wetherspoons! The staff had no idea about the food they were serving and it took ages to get to us. They had run out of wine and did not know how to mix cocktails etc. At these prices, I expected so much more!!! Very disappointed and will not be returning!!
