    From storied castles and fortresses to RIBA award-winning towers, modern masterpieces and ornamental follies, these homes stand proudly within the grounds of stately estates and on coastal lookout points. They’re places for savouring morning coffee in blooming rose gardens, slipping through secret doors disguised as bookcases, and dining like kings and queens with a private chef before departing to the library for a game of pool and a glass of toffee-coloured whiskey.

    Amongst our handpicked portfolio of luxury castles for rent, there’s a palatial residence near the Peak District in Yorkshire that offers a cornucopia of pleasures; think lavish sleeping quarters, a hot tub and indoor swimming pool. Or, on the edge of Exmoor National Park in the rolling Devonshire countryside, there’s a storied fortress that welcomes dogs too (the loyal guarding type or otherwise). No dukes, dames or royal lineage required here – just an appetite for splendor and a love of storied walls.
