I have just returned from one of my lifes wonderful experiences,celebrating my eighthy birthday with family. This Castle has everything anyone could wish for. Steeped in history, great atmosphere the food was to die for, loved every bite, service was brillient staff very helpful, l did require a little extra help because had just broken my collar bone before arriving wasnt even sure we would make it but they were so understanding offered to change dates ect. Peter the manager played the pinano whilst we were eating making it a more special occasion. We climbed the Keep which again is a must see with views at the top stretching from Yorkshire Dales Pennines & our fabulous Lake district fells. Would highly reccommend this experience and will be telling all my friends about it. Will try and organise agroup visit. Havent got any photos myself due to injury, but family took loads. Thank you to family for this treat & to the Castle for making it so memorable.
