We stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding which was fantastic and this review is by no means any reflection on the wedding itself - although the bar prices were extortionate! And the sandwiches in the Brasserie are also expensive and that's if you could find someone to take your order and then not wait less than 45 minutes... More

Came for a wedding and was very impressed by the place. This truly is a castle of epic proportions and beautiful to look at - makes you think you are in a Harry Potter set! A fantastic location for the wedding and the staff were very pleasant. The couple got married in the location as well. We stayed in a... More

We have just returned from an overnight stay at the castle and agree that it does look beautiful on approach, but the car park really is a mess, and knowing that the check in time was 3pm we tried to arrange to arrive there for that time. We arrived at 2.30 and was told that they could only guarantee our... More

I ate with family at the restaurant at Peckforton Castle last weekend. And let's just say this is a restaurant with ideas seriously above its station. The 'sommelier' poured our white wine into red wine glasses. When we ordered red wine later in the evening, this same sommelier dribbled it all over the white table cloth. Oh, and the butter... More

A wondereful hotel, amazing setting, friendly staff, good rooms, great breakfast but ......check in advance if there is a large function on. Unless you are part of it you will have an (otherwise) amazing experience seriously disturbed - no food available, lots of late night noise, no vehicle access to the reception area. Management recognise this but need to do... More

I booked the Wine Cellar for my husbands birthday and dealt with Rachael in the Sales team throughout the preparation. She was great to deal with and efficient. Our party was superb and we would like to thank all of the staff for making it a memorable evening, thanks to Anna also for looking after us on the night! More

We ate here last night, the food in the 1851 restraunt was just amazing! The atmosphere was wonderful, quiet and candle lit, staff were excellent, friendly and engaging. The castle it's self is magnificent, I have lived close to it all of my life, but this was the first time I have been inside. It was well worth the wait! More
