Amazing setting and beautiful grounds Great place for wedding celebrations However the rooms were rather small with limited facilities for the price paid. Breakfast times restricted to 8-10 , would extend to accommodate guests’needs. Also a bit disappointing you had to pay a supplement to have half of the items on the menu

Came for a wedding, and what a stunning venue! Be aware that the carpark is a short walk from the castle itself (for those wearing heels - there is gravel and a hill!), although people/luggage can be dropped off at reception. The building can appear a bit of a maze, but is incredible - had a great time exploring after a very tatsy breakfast (only got slightly lost!). Room was a good size, comfy bed, and surprisingly good water pressure in the shower!

Some like the uniformity of a Hotel chain, I prefer to take a risk on something quirky and Peckforton Castle did not disappoint! Perched on the top of hill surrounded by a forest, from the Gatehouse into the courtyard this was stunning and a fabulous place to rest for a night. My bedroom was in a tower and although small it was charming and themed around Alice ( see pic ) The restaurant was pleasant although I chose to eat outside as - well, why wouldn't you? And wandering around the Great Hall and wine cellar ( now a bar ) gave me an appetite for well cooked food and great service. I slept really well ( unusual for me ) and woke to a proper breakfast, freshly cooked and served at table... Old fashioned service but made the stay! I will be back, my wife is not amused that she didn't get to share the memorable experience.
