From an imposing double-vaulted entrance chamber our guests pass through an inner hall and into the elegant drawing room with its magnificent open fireplace, crowned by an overmantel mirror. Fine English and Irish antiques, rattan furniture from the spice island of Cebu and striking Russian paintings from St. Petersburg all help to create the room's comfortable and welcoming ambiance while full, floor-length windows offer views outside to a charming sunken garden. From the opposite end of the entrance hall one enters the Grand Hall, a vast banqueting room complete with its own minstrel's gallery and capable of seating thirty people in opulent comfort. Antique furniture and paintings by Victorian masters are all offset beautifully by the dramatic colour scheme created by international interior designer, the late David Hicks.

A Delight to Dream
The eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms within the castle can cater for up to fourteen people in complete comfort and style.

Each room has a quality all of its own featuring either antique or hand-crafted pine furniture and individual characteristics such as exposed oak beams, delicate 19th century ceramics or a striking four poster bed.

The facilities of the castle include an all-weather tennis court in the old walled garden, game shooting and boat hire. Specialist-pike fishing, and stalking can be arranged with prior notice.
