Thornemead Castle

The owners of Thornemead Castle are very welcoming. The house is sumptuous, warm, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The welcome goodies were first class. Every member of our small family party thought it a fantastic place to stay and we´re sorry to leave. All in all, a very pleasurable experience!

Our stay in Thornemead Castle was magical. From the moment we walked in, we knew the experience would be like nothing else. The property is absolutely stunning and every single corner surprises you with something special. Everything is well thought of, each piece of furniture, ornament and art makes you feel as if you´re living in a different period, transported to a magical time. That combined with the friendliness of the owners and the incredible hamper they left (full of local produce and home-baked goodies). We couldn´t have picked a better homestay and we cannot wait to return.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful home. We have had a wonderful week enjoying the space and all the amenities. No one wanted to go anywhere, as there was so much to do here! We now know where the ´super´ in Western-super-Mare comes from. Thank you kindly for a memorable holiday.

We´ve had a super time in this spectacular house playing tennis, croquet, billiards... the list goes on! We´ve had fun on the beach, the golf course and enjoyed some excellent barbecues plus our dinner party and murder mystery evenings in the beautiful dining room were all great! The house and holiday have been a once in a lifetime experience; just what we all needed after a difficult year. Thank you!

We have had a much-needed and very wonderful holiday here this week. The children have loved all the games both inside and out, and we have loved all the architectural features. So many beautiful walks and breathtaking views nearby and so lovely to come back to and explore this gorgeous house. Thank you.

Our time at Thornemead has been filled with wonder, laughter and so much joy. After the previous year, all we needed was to get away to somewhere truly magical. You can get completely lost in all the rooms, nooks and crannies, finding all sorts of hidden treasures. We spent our days exploring the surrounding areas and it was so lovely to return and watch the sunset over the castle whilst we ran around the gardens before retiring to the games room. We cannot thank the wonderful hosts enough: incredibly thoughtful, generous and the delicious bread was the highlight of our mornings!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the hospitality so much; the welcome hamper, the fireplace in the library, the delicious eggs - it was all wonderful. The weather was also perfect and Thornemead was the place to be this week! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home. We would love to stay longer! We enjoyed a great murder mystery party during our time here and have made some wonderful memories. Many thanks once again!

We absolutely loved our castle staycation, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality! We had lots of fun making great memories and we all hope to see you again soon.

Absolutely beautiful, tranquil property with excellent grounds for relaxing and escaping amidst a sea of madness beyond the castle walls! The owners are also wonderful hosts. Thank you!

Thornemead Castle is absolutely stunning. The building, grounds, location and hosts are all perfect. It really was an unbelievable place to spend a week and an amazing experience living on the ´other side´ of the fabric barriers found in stately homes. The building and gardens are stunning, the housekeepers and owners are great and incredibly welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning to Thornemead for another week of relaxation soon.

We had a wonderful stay! A beautiful home and setting. The standard of cleanliness is so high – everything is immaculate, as we had hoped for. The hosts are absolutely lovely – it was a pleasure from start to finish.

Thornemead Castle has ideal facilities, space and the wow factor for celebrating a special family birthday. It was great to have both the traditional rooms with open fires in the reception areas as well as a great kitchen and luxurious, spacious bedrooms with modern decor and bathrooms. The hamper with local and homemade produce was a particularly nice touch! This was our first experience with Unique Homestays and we´re definitely keen to use your company again. Everyone in the party has already been recommending it to friends and family! Thank you.

I was a little overwhelmed by what I saw as I was shown into this magnificent house. I experienced friendliness and kindness at Thornemead Castle, which is quite unusual for holiday accommodation. It has been a privilege to enjoy your hospitality; something that will long remain in my memory.

Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to stay in your wonderful home. Thornemead Castle is a treasure! We loved the attention to detail, the beautiful rooms, comfy beds, fabulous supplies hamper and a good coffee machine! We definitely plan to return.

Thank you for sharing your amazing castle with us. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all things you are thankful for, and we certainly had a lot to be thankful for! We appreciated your hospitality, the attention to detail and for flying our flag! We are looking forward to another memorable stay at Thornemead Castle in the future.

Thank you for an amazing weekend. All of us have enjoyed the castle so much, the inside, the outside and the whole area. There is such attention to detail, the castle is perfect and every hope is answered from the lovely hamper, comfortable beds, snooker table, firewood and the laid table... You made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble!

Thornemead Castle is perfect. The location was important to us as we are a group of friends travelling from different parts of the country, as well as space to sit and chat of an evening. The hosts are superb, right from the initial greeting and show around to the final send off. They could not have been more considerate in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The welcome hamper was also amazing and enjoyed by all!

Wow, what a fantastic, marvellous castle to call home for a week! We have enjoyed every minute and thank you for your hospitality, you were here when we needed assistance. Snooker, table football and rugby (on television) entertained us and we enjoyed local walks and the Marina Café. A visit to Bath by train and Taunton races were fun!

Thank you both so much for hosting us in your lovely manor, we had such a wonderful time celebrating a birthday weekend. We all felt extremely well looked after; your friendly welcome tour and box of goodies really set the tone. We made good use of the house and garden and it was really kind of you to lay on the bike racing at the beach which we thoroughly enjoyed! It will remain a very special weekend in our memories and hearts always.

We loved Thornemead Castle! The facilities and grounds are splendid! From the bathrooms, to the kitchen, to each unique room, to the history of the place, it´s all just fantastic, unique and memorable. Our group loved every minute. Craig and Tina were perfect hosts. We met at the beginning and chatted when we left. The rest of the time it was like we had the castle all to ourselves! Thank you, we will return to Thornemead Castle and we will use Unique Homestays again.

We were lucky to have amazing ´Indian Summer´ weather for our stay in September, shared in your beautiful, fascinating house by three generations of our family. Everyone agreed that we loved Thornemead Castle and can´t wait to return one day. Our thanks to you for making our stay so memorable, your friendly welcome, the attention to detail, the five star facilities, and for going beyond our expectations. We are so glad we found Thormemead, and then so happy we stayed here. Many thanks!

What a wonderful house, a truly great experience for us all! You have done a fantastic job with the house and grounds. The housekeeper is a true gem and we have already booked a future visit!

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful house, it is a credit to you. We enjoyed exploring the house and grounds, it is the sort of house we would very happily live in! We hope to visit again.
