Medieval Banquet - We had a wonderful time. The performers were wonderful, the singing by everyone was great, and we loved the young lady who played the harp. The man who was the lead performer was awesome and really funny. The dinner was delicious too!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

Fantastic Experience - This is a wonderful experience. The castle is amazing and full of history. Highly recommended! The gift shop is very nice and the folk park is also nicely done. The holiday decorations were a wonderful addition! We loved the chickens, peacocks, and Irish Wolfhounds too. Such a great place. We wish we had a lot more time! Plan half a day or more!!!

Amazing day out - Aim to spend at least 3-4 hours here. Great guided tours of the castle with some exhilarating walks to the topviewing different rooms up there. Some great exhibitions to see in the I dividual that he'd houses all depicting life from ages past.A very good cafe with good choice of wood. Walks through countryside with great views and then on to the folk village which was tremendous

Fun for all! - Visited the castle and folk park before the medieval banquet. It was enjoyable, although very touristy. It is a huge property with lots to see. Castle was beautiful and interesting. Dungeon was neat. Small folk town had shops and a pub. The manor was cute and the walled garden was the highlight. Had fun interacting with the Bobby as I was put into handcuffs and then give a ticket for drinking. Overall, a fun experience we would recommend to all!

A Walk in Time - The castle, of course, was amazing but I enjoyed the Folk Park. Starting in medieval times, there are a variety of building depicting the time and background. My favorite was the village shops/street from the 19th century. There were performers and animals and a playground for kids as well as a beautiful garden.
