    Book now Thornbury Castle in England !

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. Thornbury Castle was once owned by Henry who stayed here with his wife, Anne Boleyn. Now you have a chance to experience a little of what life was like for this great king … and you will be the only ‘royal residents’ in the castle. You could be excused for regarding the other hotel guests as your ‘subjects’! The Castle Experience is a two night break in the Duke’s Bedchamber in which Henry and his queen slept. Located in the tower of the south wing, this bedchamber is octagonal with a four-poster bed and is reached via the original circular stone staircase, exactly as it would have been when Henry and Anne went to bed. You will be treated like royalty from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Dinner on one night will be a fabulous 5 course Royal Gala Dinner. Seated on your ‘thrones’ at your own table on the Gallery, with chalices of tumbling fruit, you’ll feel every bit the king and queen of the castle. ln your wardrobe, you'll even find two hand-made regal robes allowing you to really 'dress to impress' while you dine.
