Introduction
Award winning Cheshire hotel Peckforton
Castle now offers even more magic with the
addition of ten opulent en-suite bedrooms
following a £1.7 million investment
programme, which also includes the brand new
2010 Brasserie at Peckforton Castle and
luxury beauty treatment facility Tranquility
at Peckforton Castle.
As you pass
through the magnificent gatehouse and sweep
up the long drive, you could almost be
forgiven for momentarily thinking you had
some how been transported back to the
1800's.
Peckforton
Castle, is set in the heart of Cheshire, a
magnificent Victorian country house built by
John Tollemache in 1844 in the style of a
Medieval Castle. Today we are the only Grade
1 listed, Medieval style Castle which is
occupied.
In fact you
may recognise the red sandstone walls, the
marble floors, the vaulted dining rooms, the
open fires and the candlelit Wine Cellar as
they have featured in the films such as
Robin Hood and Doctor Who 1973 and 2007. Not
forgetting to mention our beautiful newly
refurbished bedrooms with rich brocades, the
fabric and style that radiates warmth and
comfort. You can also relax and enjoy some
of the finest cuisine in Cheshire.
Now we open
our doors as a luxury hotel, allowing you to
hold your Wedding and Wedding Breakfast in
the most breathtaking venue, with fantastic
views of Cheshire, ideal photo opportunities
and beautiful function rooms, you can even
take over the Castle exclusively for your
special day.
Since the year 2000 the
Castle has hosted Civil Ceremonies, we have three
licensed rooms which can cater from 10 to 165 guests.
Great Hall
Imagine saying your marriage vow's with the sun
streaming through the stained glass windows, a string
quartet playing soft romantic music from the Minstrel's
Gallery surrounded by a carved oak screen, the fire
glowing softly in the background and the room lit by
candle light.
The red sandstone walls
and the original Minton Hollins tiled floor underfoot.
The Great Hall is a truly magnificent room which can be
entered via the original main entrance to the castle.
The Hexagonal Room
Walk along the red carpet and up the stone staircase and
enter the hexagonal shaped room which has two working
fireplaces, and a vaulted stone ceiling. At the apex of
the ceiling you will see a carved stone with an
inscription of love.
Romance is never far
away.
The Library
The original Library to the Castle, a small room
surrounded by tall imposing windows.
A unique, intimate room.
Wedding Blessing
Built in 1851 and set inside the fortified walls the
Chapel is a perfect location for your Wedding Blessing
with the local vicar officiating your Wedding Vows.
Walk up the aisle with a
harpist playing in the background surrounded by flowers
and candles, a truly memorable experience.
