Rowton Castle is truly a remarkable venue for weddings, surrounded by beautifully well-kept grounds that offer stunning photo opportunities. The staff ensures that every detail is meticulously handled, making for a seamless experience. The rooms are charming, particularly the luxurious four-poster beds, though they could use a bit more warmth in decor. While dining was excellent with high-quality food, the experience could benefit from a bit more variety at breakfast.

Our experience at Rowton Castle was breathtakingly perfect for the wedding celebration we attended. The venue itself is stunning and presented beautifully, creating a picturesque backdrop for the event. The service we received was exceptional, with attentive staff ensuring every detail was taken care of. However, during our stay, we noticed one staff member was overwhelmed with tasks, which could be better managed. Overall, it was a wonderful day, but a more balanced distribution of responsibilities would enhance the experience.

Rowton Castle is an incredible wedding venue that provides exceptional service from start to finish. The grounds and gardens create a stunning backdrop for outdoor ceremonies, and the staff is incredibly attentive, ensuring everything goes smoothly. However, be prepared for the unpredictability of weather if planning an outdoor wedding, as we experienced some rain. Overall, a truly memorable and beautiful place for such a special occasion.

I recently celebrated my daughter's wedding at Rowton Castle, and what a beautiful venue it turned out to be! The stunning setting in the countryside made for perfect wedding photos, and the staff were incredibly attentive throughout our stay. The rooms were charming and comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious. However, I think they could improve the range of options at breakfast to match the excellent dinner experience. Overall, it felt like a fairy tale experience, and we couldn't have asked for more.
