Thornbury Castle

Thornbury Castle boasts 500 years of Tudor history that few other English castle hotels can match. Built in 1510 by Edward Stafford, the third Duke of Buckingham, its construction was a reflection of his wealth and status at the time to rival King Henry VIII. After Stafford was found guilty of treason, the king took control of the castle, which he visited with then wife, Anne Boleyn, in 1535. Today, the castle has been sympathetically restored with 26 unique bedchambers offering refined luxury but staying true to its heritage. Enjoy a fine dining experience in the acclaimed 3AA rosette restaurant and wander through 15 acres of enchanting grounds complete with kitchen garden and original stone walled perimeter. The elegant event spaces include the grand Tudor Hall – full of grandeur and sure to impress, as well as the more intimate Baron’s Room – quiet luxury but with bold impact. Then there’s the more relaxed library and lounge with stunning views out to the Privy Garden, each providing options for corporate meetings, weddings, events and celebrations. More importantly, there’s an option for exclusive-use providing ultimate privacy and a team dedicated to providing five-star hospitality.
