Sorn Castle is currently the home of Jamie and Jemma McIntyre. Having grown up at Sorn with five brothers, Jamie met Jemma in London where they enjoyed a full and busy social life. They married in 2008 and having moved to Sorn Castle shortly after, together they continued with their mission to host and entertain which is the philosophy on which the castle has grown.
We "fell in love" with the Castle as soon as we caught our first glimpse of it after driving through the magnificent entrance and down the private drive under the autumnal shaded trees. Our review is quite lengthy, but we had the most amazing day, so it is only fair that we let you know about it. Throughout that year there was plenty of planning, changing minds and more planning.
