Reviews for Peckforton Castle

The castle venue and decoration was what instantly won over my partner and we thought the location was beautiful with the woodland.
It wasn’t until the day did we truly appreciate the staff that work there though! They were tirelessly working all day to bring our special day to life and no request was too big of them.
I’d been emailing constantly in the weeks prior and gave them a few bits to set up and not a single thing was missed or not in the right place.
Anna, our wedding coordinator was particularly amazing and coaxed us through the day with a massive smile and many kind words. She was quick to check in and ensure we had everything we needed and was very friendly and approachable throughout.
The biggest thing for us though was the absolute attentiveness of the castle staff. I’ve recently been diagnosed with gluten intolerance and was concerned how this may affect my day. Every staff member seemed to be aware and ensured I always had the right food, one going as far to request special food for me in the evening and catering to my every need. We both felt so well treated by all of them and they even helped us and waited for our bags with us in the evening.
Honestly couldn’t recommend more, and it has nothing to do with the venue and all to do with the people that work there.
Fairytail wedding at Christmas
Beautiful venue, professional staff
Our Perfect day
The bar service was very quick and everyone super friendly.
Breathtaking venue with world class service and hospitality to match.
The wedding preparation team (Charlotte, Nicole and the rest team) were a breeze to work with and really ensured everything was right and that we had every request met.
On the day itself, our coordinator Sophie was just unreal, keeping everything in order, nothing was too much trouble and we never felt like there was a problem or unforeseen hiccup as she’d deal with everything thrown at her. Jess, who was a member of the waiting staff (of whom ALL were incredible), was really exceptionally helpful and stood out to my bride because of how attentive and accommodating she was.
Finally as we made a weekend of it, I can’t go without mentioning Richard, Georgia & Brian who made up the core reception team whom we dealt with throughout our three days and there default behaviour was always sincere and genuine with a sense of warmth that made the castle feel like home rather than a hotel.
So many guests told us about touchpoints, personal gestures and actions by staff members that really stood out, not because of the size of the gesture, rather the perfect timing and attention to detail that just made it feel sincere and genuine.
Having visited and stayed in many truly spectacular properties across the world, it’s wonderful to know that the highest international standards of hospitality and guest experience are clearly just the foundation here and they will go over and above.
Thank you so much to all involved for what will be an unforgettable moment - we will be joining you for our anniversary in 2024.
Best time of our lives
The wedding team cannot do enough for you. The venue is really special. We love the Cellar bar which is a great place to have a drink at any time. The 4 poster rooms are gorgeous and all our guests were pleased with their rooms.
We ate in the Brasserie the night before the wedding which is good value for money. I have to say that the food in the Brasserie, the wedding breakfast and also breakfast the next morning were excellent.
Thank you for a great time sbd we will definitely be back.
