Went yesterday with the family and had an amazing time. The staff is very well informed and encouraged to check out the castle. Would definitely recommend the castle to others to check out.

Marilyn, Monica and John were wonderful hosts. We learned so much about the ranch as well as the beautiful historical art pieces. The tea was delightful and delicious. The Churchill book was perfect for our girls' reunion. Every minute was well thought out to make the visit special. We couldn't be more pleased.
