Hundreds of years after the second wealthiest man in Britain stops building thorrnbury castle because he gets beheaded by Henry 8th for gossiping about him there we were, in the sumptuous luxurious hotel, with the Michelin key, eating top notch scoff in the restaurant with 3 AA rosettes looking forward to a night in the tower.

It is not often that a hotel becomes the highlight of your vacation. THORNBUrY IS THE EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE! We felt to transported to hundreds of years in the past in terms of the architecture and the style of interior furnishings. At the same time, it had all of the service amenities, quality of fixtures and furnishings, food anf service that is expected of a five star hotel. Well worth the price of our stay, we so wish to return.

This was an amazing castle! Everything was so beautiful. From the architecture, to the fountain in the courtyard (with lights at night), to the canopy bed, fancy bay window, and chandelier in our bedroom. Incredible! The staff was so friendly and attentive, and the food was good, as well.
