EPIC & HISTORIC CASTLE STAYS IN THE UK

Four-poster beds, suits of armour, ancient tapestries and even the odd ghost 

When you want to wake up in the historic heart of the UK, it has to be a castle stay. Whether it’s a medieval fortress, a former royal Tudor bolthole or a converted folly, the British landscape is studded with castles – many of which have become hotels and flung open their portcullises so you can enjoy a weekender or midweek stay. 

Four-poster beds draped in velvet, huge ancient fireplaces crackling with cosiness, immense sculpted grounds to wander around, and a wealth of extra touches to enjoy alongside the stay itself (including fine dining restaurants and falconry experiences).

Yep, castles stays in the UK are short breaks that’ll leave you feeling super rich.
