Soaring above 12 acres of gardens, this 1350-built castle is a beauty, with creaking hallways lined by suits of armour and an alleged resident ghost. Its nine castle rooms are appointed with antique furnishings (many have four-poster beds); there are another 18 'castle view' rooms in the grounds with access to castle facilities. Check for dinner, bed and breakfast packages.
Warmed by an open-fire, its stone-walled drawing room is an inviting setting for afternoon tea. French-accented fare is served at its fine-dining restaurant.
