    Exquisite. From the gorgeous rooms to the general property. Grounds and public rooms were exactly what we would expect in a castle of our imagination. Truly a royal experience. The softest towels, bathrobes, enormous full breakfast.

Company info

While the castle is very much the dominant character in the market town of Thornbury, there is plenty to see and do beyond its gates. History buffs will enjoy discovering the background of the town: our helpful staff will point you in the direction of its heritage trail, where you can learn about the human activity in the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The Romans were in the area, too – in 2004, while digging a pond, a local resident discovered a horde of 11,000 Roman coins.

Property info

Step back in time in this extraordinary Tudor castle on the edge of the Cotswolds. This hotel offers the perfect luxurious retreat – combining 500-year-old architecture with sumptuous facilities. Thornbury Castle is a place to de-stress – take a stroll around the manicured lawns and landscaped grounds, book a massage in your own bedchamber and relax over a delicious meal in our exclusive restaurant.

Neighborhood info

Once you’ve satisfied your historical interest, why not get out and stretch those legs? One of our perennial favourite walks is a meander through the town of Thornbury, taking in the High Street and ambling along the banks of the stream. Slightly further afield is the magnificent National Arboretum of Westonbirt. With over 14,000 labelled trees, workshops and guided walks, this can provide a fantastic learning experience for both adults and children. It’s also a superb location for a serious hike (there are 17 miles of trails), or a peaceful, relaxing stroll though a leafy wonderland.
