Luxury castle stays in the UK

A storied castle in Cornwall, a fortress in Devon, an ornamental folly in Lincolnshire and a RIBA award-winning tower in Suffolk – these self-catering homes stand 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 royalty with a private chef before departing to the library for a game of pool and a glass of whiskey.

Amongst our handpicked collection of luxury castle stays in the UK, there’s a palatial residence in Yorkshire offering pleasures for families and large groups of friends, including an indoor swimming pool and wellness facilities such as a yoga room, sauna and steam room. Or, on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, there’s a romantic tower complete with a hot tub, sauna and walled garden – perfect for a couple and their dog. No dukes, dames or royal lineage required.
