Atmospheric Gatehouse Suites are located in the former 17th-century dairy, outside the castle walls. We love the impressive granite fireplace and ornate peacock screen in "Arundel" Premier Deluxe room.

Classic, Superior, Junior Deluxe, Gatehouse Suite and Premier Deluxe
Facilities include: Vispring beds, homemade biscuits, mineral water, slippers and bathrobes, antiques, fine fabrics.

We love the surprise elements, like the creative appearance of some dishes and the light amuse-bouche delivered between courses. A seemingly simple tiramisu - elevated into a heavenly deconstructed dessert - is a highlight.
