“Stepping into this historic castle feels like a genuine escape, particularly when enjoying an exquisite afternoon tea amidst the grounds; the attention to detail from the staff, from the warm welcome to the expertly presented pastries, truly makes it a special occasion, though the dining experience, while excellent, comes with a notable price tag.”
