Luxury Castle Tower | 185

Reception Rooms
The magnificent Great Hall, which is the elegant drawing room today, is to be found on the first floor, accessed by the main stone stairs. With its double height oak beamed ceiling, stone fireplace, hung tapestries and crossed pikes on the wall, it has retained a 16th century character. However there is always a warm welcome, even if the roaring fire has died down, as there is under-floor heating. With comfortable seating this is joyous room to be in at any time of the day. Next door is the library, which is a comfortable room with TV and a library of books, making this a wonderful room to take the time to do some interesting reading in peace.

Kitchen & Dining
The vaulted dining hall with its low arched ceiling and long dining table is quite a sight. With a suit of armour in the corner, you are half expecting knights to appear and join in. This atmospheric room is ideal for hosting a medieval banquet or festive feast. With comfortable tartan chairs around the fine oak dining table, it is a perfect setting for your group. The kitchen is next door, making it easy and quick to serve food. This room is part medieval and part commercial kitchen, with all its stainless steel set in a vaulted room. The impressive cooking range with its 5 gas burners, double oven and grill, makes cooking so much easier. There is everything you require with integral microwave, instant hot water tap, 2-part dishwasher, ice machine and upright US style fridge freezer. There is a utility room and additional food storage accessed via the back door. For those who wish to bring in a caterer or cook, then the manager has a list of excellent local choices who know the castle well.
