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.

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.
