Property details
England's only Tudor castle hotel, with a spectacular Cotswolds setting, award-winning fine dining and historic landscaped grounds - breakfast and dinner included
The 500-year-old Thornbury Castle is the country's only Tudor castle hotel and a stunning base for exploring the Cotswolds. Constructed in the early 1500s by the Duke of Buckingham, it has hosted such prestigious guests as Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and Mary I, and keeps modern-day guests occupied with regal pastimes like falconry, archery and croquet.
Much of the castle dates back to the 16th century and retains period features like large open fireplaces, ornate carved ceilings, intricate oriel windows and shining suits of armour in the corridors. Alongside lording it up in the castle's expansive walled gardens, you can depart from medieval times and retreat to the nearby Vicarage Farm Holistic Therapy Centre for a little relaxation, or tuck into delectable dishes and afternoon tea at the restaurant. Thornbury Castle carries a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence under its princely belt.

Dining
Food is served in a series of original dining rooms (including the grand-sounding Tudor Hall and Baron’s Sitting Room) once frequented by the likes of Sophia Loren and Laurence Olivier. The two AA Rosette-holding menu comprises modern and internationally-inspired dishes alongside a number of traditional English favourites, all featuring ingredients that are sourced locally or from the centuries-old kitchen garden. Thornbury Castle offers afternoon tea and also stocks a tempting selection of British cheeses and old and new world wines, including a Muller Thurgau wine produced within the grounds.
Spa
While Thornbury Castle has no spa on-site, it does offer a range of massages in-house (at an extra cost), while Vicarage Farm Holistic Therapy centre is a short distance away.
