Belhurst Castle and Winery offers a unique and memorable experience for visitors. The property features a beautiful castle with stunning lake views and spacious grounds, making it an ideal location for weddings and special events. The castle's exterior may not immediately reveal its grandeur, but inside, it delivers a charming and elegant atmosphere, especially in areas like Edgar's Restaurant, which is decorated with medieval touches such as a suit of armor. Guests celebrating special occasions, like birthdays, can enjoy a multi-course meal with delicious dishes and decadent desserts that make the experience special. The restaurant staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring guests feel well cared for. Accommodations on the grounds include rooms like the Sheldon at White Springs Manor, which are well-furnished with an antique aesthetic, a cozy jacuzzi, and a pleasant bathroom. The front desk staff are helpful and provide good suggestions for local activities and dining. However, not all experiences are perfect. Some guests found certain accommodations, such as the Playhouse, to be unpleasant, citing stale odors and crawling bugs, which led to disappointment and concerns about cleanliness. Wine tastings, however, received mixed reviews; while the grounds are beautiful, the tasting experience was considered uninviting, with limited seating and a lack of warmth in the service. Overall, Belhurst Castle and Winery excels as a picturesque venue and historic site, especially suited for weddings and celebrations, but some amenities and services may vary in quality.
Stayed in the sheldon room at white springs manor and the furnishings were very nice and fit well with the antique aesthetic. The jacuzzi was nice and the bathroom nice. The front desk concierge was very helpful and plesent. She suggested an excellent ice cream place and other activities in the area for our two day stay.

We went for a wine tasting, and the wine was sub par. I don’t know if this is just what Great Lakes wine tastes like, or if it was genuinely bad. We liked maybe 3 wines out of all we tried. We ended up not choosing to dine here because although the menu looked nice, I had a feeling the food would be overpriced and bland.

The layout of this house was odd. The house we stayed at last November was much better.
