Although I have seen a listing and heard its for sale, that is not the case. The property has been tied up in litigation for years over an ownership dispute between Susan and her deceased husbands family. While she would like to sell someday, she is unable to do so until all parties can come to an agreement. That doesn't appear like it's going to happen anytime soon.

Susan has admitted the castle has suffered some "setbacks" with the recent staff changes, along with other factors beyond her control, that has caused bookings to drop significantly. She wants to make a renewed effort to increase bookings once it reopens. It seems adding the bar is just the first step in transforming the hotel.
