I'm turning 40 next March and am thinking about what kind of humdinger of an event I should have. I was thinking a weekend in a castle might be cool.
Belle Isle Castle in Northern Ireland looks nice. It's £1100 self-catering for a weekend (3 nights) or £1500 for a week, sleeping 14 people. It's got a tennis court, boats, etc. Catering charges are £10, £15, £25 for breakfast lunch and dinner respectively. But it's got a big kitchen with an Aga and might be fun (and way cheaper) to do our own cooking.
Otoh, Northern Ireland in March might not be the most salubrious of locations.
So maybe we should go to France...
Chateau Des Senechaux looks nice.
Le Chateau de Bijou
