Welcome to Thornbury Castle
Kings and queens have stayed
here. Courtiers have flirted with ladies-in-waiting in the ancient
yew-hedged gardens. Serving girls have chattered in the stone-flagged
courtyard. Today, Thornbury Castle still resonates with history
and is the only Tudor castle in England to be open as a hotel…and
it’s only 15 minutes from the M5.
However, step behind the heavy
oak doors and you'll find a magnificent hotel with roaring fires,
delicious modern cuisine and sumptuous bedchambers – a truly
special setting for an overnight stay, a weekend away or for
more formal occasions.
Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn
once walked these rooms and grounds. Today, the 500 year-old
castle-palace with its beautiful oriel windows, Tudor hall and
historic parkland is yours for the duration of your stay. There
has even been a vineyard within the castle walls for over 500
years, from which Thornbury Castle wine is still produced.
Enjoy a regal night's sleep
in the Duke's Bedchamber where King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn
slept or favour the Gloucester Bedchamber and wake up to a view
of the oldest Tudor gardens in England - the Privy Garden and
Goodly Garden.
Free wireless broadband now
