Lovely hotel set in stunning surroundings. The room was spotlessly cleaned daily, great attention from the housekeeping staff. As you should expect with it being a castle the sound insulation is not as per a purpose built hotel so we could hear conversations, music, tv etc from the people in the room above. The food at the hotel is plentiful and of good quality but perhaps limited in choice for the dinner menu.

Everything was just perfect! My husband and I enjoyed every minute celebrating his milestone birthday. The hotel exceeded our expectations. When we arrived, we were happy to hear that we got a free upgrade to a castle suite. We stayed in Catherine Howard room which was huge, had a four poster bed and a rolled bath. There were lots of complimentary things such as sloe gin, all sorts of teas and coffees, cosmetics in the bathroom, room slippers. The gardens were pretty and well maintained. Great to see a working water fountain too. The breakfast was delicious and all the staff were very attentive.

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.
