Accommodations include four-poster suites, some located in the castle's towers, with garden or countryside views. The 1189 Bar and Kitchen serves seasonal dishes, while the AA Rosette-awarded restaurant provides formal dining. Private dining is available in the library tower, the oldest part of the castle dating to 1189.

AA Rosette-awarded restaurant serving locally sourced dishes.

Proximity to attractions like Walworth Castle Birds of Prey (1 km).

“Celebrating a special occasion here sounds particularly memorable, with private dining and attentive service often mentioned. The castle's grounds and the surrounding rural setting provide character, and the restaurant earns praise for both quality and value. It's a spot where the staff clearly aim to personalize each stay.”
