There are structures which are "manors" and I would't tag as a castle. As an example, a Spanish "cortijo" is the center of a big (originally, feudal) estate that is metonymically called "cortijo", too.
The central building has a defensive purpose. Historians would say some walled villages are shaped "in a 'cortijo' shape". But most people in Spain would't consider a "cortijo" as a castle. So I would left the assignment of a castle tag to "emic" local knowdledge. French manors (châteaux) are castles; from your words, it seems british manors are castles, but in some countries manors are definitely no castles.
