Middleton Castle

Norfolk, England

Sleeps 30 guests in 15 rooms. Self-catered from £5500 per night.

Our Experts Say:

Middleton Castle, a 15th-century Grade I listed property in Norfolk, offers a luxury retreat for up to 30 guests. Surrounded by a private moat and exquisite gardens, the castle features Medieval architecture, elegant interiors, and modern comforts. The castle includes spacious reception rooms, a grand dining room and is just two hours from London.

Brackenhill Tower

Longtown, Cumbria, England

Sleeps 10 guests in 4 rooms (optional accommodation for a further 6 guests). Self-catered from £1440 for 3 nights.

Our Experts Say:

Full of history and romance, Brackenhill Tower, the only Scottish peel tower (fortified house) standing now on English soil, is situated in the heart of what was once "the debatable lands". Now just in England but practically right on the border with Scotland, the tower is just 6 miles from the romantic wedding capital of Scotland, Gretna Green.

Roch Castle

Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales

Sleeps 12 guests in 6 rooms. Self-catered from £1340 per night.

Our Experts Say:

This restored Norman castle is located just 7.4 miles from Haverfordwest, South Wales. Roch Castle was probably built in this location as one of the outer defences of the unmarked border, which has separated, for centuries, the English and Welsh areas of Pembrokeshire.

Carlton Towers

North Yorkshire, England

Sleeps 31 guests in 16 rooms. Self-catered from £7000 per night.

Our Experts Say:

Carlton Towers is the family home of Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzalan Howard, a Victorian Gothic-style country house with opulent, luxury interiors, nestled within 250 acres of magnificent scenery. Stays can be tailored to suit your requirements; your celebration, your wedding, your menus – whatever your reason for visiting – planned meticulously to ensure your thorough enjoyment.

Bickleigh Castle

Tiverton, Devon, England

Sleeps 40 guests in 18 rooms. Self-catered price on application.

Our Experts Say:

A stay at Bickleigh offers a peaceful and relaxing break. Tucked away in the heart of the Devon countryside, the castle snuggles within the Exe Valley, surrounded by trees, fields and rivers.
