Rent a medieval castle in England and Wales

If you’re wondering whether you can rent a castle in England or Wales, the answer is YES! Our exclusive castles for hire are situated in some of the UK’s most glorious counties. We’ve handpicked every location for its grandeur, amenities and nearby attractions.

Dash off to Dorset and wake up to a breathtaking sea view from your castle or manor house. Once you’ve enjoyed a mouth-watering breakfast, explore the Jurassic Coast and its abundance of wildlife. No matter the season, the area teems with interesting animal and plant life, including puffins, porpoises and rare orchids. Keep your eyes on the ground, and you might find a fossil from centuries ago.

After a long day scaling the cliffs and coastal paths, head inland for a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or bars. Dorset is known for its decadent cakes, cheeses and ales – all fantastic options for replenishing energy reserves. Don’t fancy navigating the crowds? Head back to the castle grounds and soothe achy muscles in the hot tub or private pool.

Alternatively, a castle awaits in Cornwall – equally beautiful with expansive countryside, hidden coves and miles upon miles of coastline. The beaches are particularly exquisite, rivalling those in Australia and the Caribbean. Once you’ve finished celebrating your large event, gather your guests to the nearest shore for an exhilarating afternoon of watersports.

Wherever you choose to go, it couldn’t be easier to rent a castle or manor house in the UK. Each venue supplies endless opportunities for adventure, with tonnes of nearby attractions and hidden gems.

Make the most of fairy-tale facilities within ancient stone walls

Take time out from the stress of modern life by stepping into a chateau oozing with history. Unwind in a four-poster bed under the sparkling light of a magnificent chandelier. Enjoy a royal feast in the spacious dining room. Party with guests in the castle grounds until the stars come out. With our help, you can create the holiday of your dreams!

Don’t need a private chef for your event? Choose a self-catering castle instead and cook for the family in the fully-stocked kitchen. Afterwards, cuddle up with the kids and watch TV or get competitive in the games room over a board game or a few rounds of table tennis. If you’re in the mood for reading, take advantage of the impressive library and settle down in front of the warm log fire with a brilliant book.

One of the best times to rent castles is in summer because you can make a splash in the private pool or head outside for a game of boules or croquet. Far from being a medieval castle, each venue offers high-speed Wi-Fi to let you stream the latest TV shows and movies. That’s the best thing about castle properties – they combine old-world elegance with modern amenities.
