This is our second visit to the Water Castle. It is set in beautiful countryside with stunning views. We enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets each evening. They have 2 lovely donkeys Barney & Fred whom we enjoyed watching feeding carrots and apples each day. It is situated just off the A69 and close to the A1 if you wish to visit Bamburgh/ Craster areas you have easy access.
