The castle's shared spaces are ideal for a yoga retreat or a corporate event, and there's a fantastic on-site restaurant serving the best produce of the region.
Food can be enjoyed in the dining room or outside on the terrace with a drink at the honesty bar before or after dinner. Pop into the pantry, a small shop at the castle selling all kinds of wonderful local produce, ideal to take home as a reminder of a fantastic holiday.
