Imagine a holiday in an impressive Tudor Castle, deep in the English Countryside. At Thornbury Castle, you can do just that.
UrlaubCornwall visited Thornbury Castle Hotel to experience a luxurious holiday in a castle built for Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
From the winding stone staircase up to our room, to afternoon tea served out in the walled gardens, Thornbury Castle offers the complete modern castle holiday.
Thornbury Castle
While relaxing in the lounge with a local beer and canapés before dinner, it is easy to imagine the English nobility doing the exact same many years ago.
The bedrooms have all been traditionally converted from servants’ quarters or function rooms to comfortable and stylish hotel rooms, most with 4-poster beds and views of the towering castle walls.
Right next to the castle vineyards, where they produce their own wine, is the Gatehouse. This is an ideal option for families, with 2 bedrooms, its own kitchen, spacious lounge and dining area, along with access to all the hotel’s food and facilities.
Thornbury Castle Tower Room
Even the activities available at Thornbury are truly traditional as well. Croquet, bowls and even archery are available to try on the castle lawns.
Thornbury is very near to many of Southern England’s best towns and attractions. It’s a short drive from Bristol, which has regular flights from Berlin, and the Severn Bridge into Wales. The historic town of Bath is not too far away either and you are perfectly placed to continue your tour towards Exeter and the Southwest of England.
