Louis and Daphne could not have been more welcoming. We felt as if we were visiting old friends. Lovely homemade scones and jam awaited us in the conservatory, and a large pot of tea which was so welcome after our journey. The castle surpassed all our expectations, we are still talking about it two weeks later. Jessie Toby and Nessa (the Dogs) accompanied us on a lovely walk through the fields which was lovely. Our room was amazing,the best quality bedding and soft furnishing, and little details. Surprise treats in the fridge, books, board games you name it we had it. Breakfast was great, ask Louis to make you scrambled eggs.We had the whole castle to ourselves.Peace and quiet,no traffic noise, no lights shining outside all night, sheer bliss. Hoping to return ,we loved it . well done everybody.
