"We had a wonderful time staying at Weir cottage over Christmas."
We thought it would be so tiny by the photos but it was well laid out and felt spacious and comfy with a large enclosed garden. We were greeted by the loveliest selection of things when we arrived which was so nice and complementary tickets to the castle for the duration of our stay! You are able to walk though the grounds with a dog but only on public footpaths and not the castle footpaths but it was a little confusing to figure out which was which. Despite this the Leeds castle team were lovely and always ready to help with the tiniest of problems. Thank you
