We loved our stay in the “manor house” at CastleHackett so much more than we expected. We loved the large hallways and rooms......like a step back to an elegant time with high ceilings, ceiling high windows, elegant drapes, a paneled library, giant dining room, sun room, wide hallways, circular staircase, and much more. We enjoyed hearing the history and the stories of reconstruction and renovation, etc. Our room was large with high ceilings and a beautiful view of the sheep grazing....Very pastoral. We had use of the dining room which was set up for multiple kinds of coffee, tea, fruit and cookies all day. That night we had our own cheese, bread, fruit and beer picnic in the living room on the coffee table while watching one of their many dvd movies from the library. It was a joy to have Joyce and Denis around to chat with and share stories.
Breakfast was a delight with juice, fruit, cereals, yogurt and Joyce making us whatever else we wanted....such as a soft boiled egg and a frittata.
We were sad to leave....
