At Rose Castle, we are committed to making visits as welcoming and accessible as possible for all our guests. While the Castle is a historic building with original features, we have made significant provisions to enhance accessibility. Some towers, staircases with original features are not accessible.
A lift provides access to the second floor, which includes three bedrooms; including one accessible bedroom, The Chapel, the Lumley Lounge, and the beautiful State Drawing Room.
On the ground floor, accessible spaces include a disabled WC, the Boost Kitchen, Library, Hall and State Dining Room.
The accessible bedroom (bedroom number 2) also has an adjoining single room for a carer/family member. With a walk in wet room the bedroom is large and spacious for wheelchairs or walking aids.
The gardens, orchard, moat, and tranquil woodland can be explored via mostly level grass paths, though some areas may be slightly uneven. Staff are happy to provide guidance needed. Pettinger’s Garden can be accessed step-free directly from the castle which has picturesque countryside views.
The large turning circle outside the front of the castle can be used for dropping off and is step free access into the hall of Rose Castle.
We have dedicated disabled parking located in the car park.
Guests are encouraged to contact us in advance at [email protected] or 01228 642980 so we can ensure your visit is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
A wedding at Rose Castle is a truly unforgettable celebration, combining historic grandeur, intimate charm and heartfelt hospitality. Our enchanting chapel can seat up to 60 guests for a civil ceremony, followed by a wedding breakfast in the elegant State Dining Room. As an exclusive use venue, it is also the perfect setting for multi-day events, giving you and your guests the time to fully enjoy the Castle and grounds.
Couples can personalise every aspect of their day, from bespoke menus crafted to your tastes, to signature cocktails and custom creations that reflect your style. You can have a fireworks illuminate the Castle grounds for a dramatic celebratory finale or garden games on the Bishops Lawn during your cocktail hour.
