Other things to note - We prefer Friday to be our change over day, other days may not be possible. - Property is strictly not suitable for parties. -Only one well behaved dog per booking. We will discuss this with you before confirming your stay. -The Wye Valley is an area of Special Scientific Interest and has a diverse wildlife population, some of which you will see along the River Wye and in the castle grounds. The historic nature of Wilton Castle means that we have on occasion found very small pipistrelle bats within the house as July and August is breeding season. The bats we've found are very docile and are completely harmless and we try not to disturb them wherever possible. They will not affect your stay in any way, however we feel it’s important that we inform our guests before you book with us.
