It had doors on, but we didn't try to go in. I would doubt they would allow that, as the poor birds might escape. Some would fare well enough I suppose, but others probably not. <br /><br />Beryl - It had six bedrooms if I recall correctly, but I've no idea how many you could sleep there. If you were going to throw a party, I'd recommend Featherstone Castle first. I wrote all about it a few years ago. Cool place - spooky, but cool.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-28101342199158944422012-07-17T20:29:08.521+01:002012-07-17T20:29:08.521+01:00How many can sleep there? $2000 would be OK for 2...How many can sleep there? $2000 would be OK for 20 people - just $100 for the three days. I would get my Sherlock Holmes Society friends together and we'd spend three days in Victorian dress, having Teas and Elegant Evening, and presenting learned papers. Maybe recreating the Hound of the Baskervilles.<br />The Monkey Puzzle Tree is just about my most favorite tree. There was one in Seattle at this really small house. I kept trying to convince my husband that we should buy the house just so we could live with that tree.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-16892180121130340762012-07-17T00:51:29.391+01:002012-07-17T00:51:29.391+01:00I don't suppose you rented the castle?
