We stayed on a two night midweek break, and the hotel itself is undoubtedly fabulous, as was our room (Queen Mary 1st), which was huge with a four poster bed and fantastic oriel windows. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the restaurant fell just short of what one would expect from a hotel of this quality. We dined on... More

We stayed here on a 2night bed and breakfast and one evening meal with Secret Escapes. We asked if our room had a four posted bed and ii didn't, so we asked if we could see one as well as our room. We went up a spiral wooden staircase and saw the first room which was very good. Then we... More

In what was a highlight of our recent trip Thornbury Castle came up trumps . Upon arriving we were shown to our rooms up a winding stone staircase to a huge room with a magnificent 4 poster bed and a very modern bathroom with every amenity . A wander around the gardens and the old church before pre dinner drinks... More

I had booked this trip for my husband's birthday and uncannily like davethenomad above, I chose it because he loves Tudor history. We were not disappointed. You almost expect Henry and Ann to appear! Apparently, there are ghosts - but I never saw any! But it wouldn't surprise me to see one or two. I was particularly impressed with the... More

After a great deal of emailing with Jenni and Anna who were great, we chose our room for a special occasion, the Howard. It had recently had a full bathroom re-do and in all the room was fantastic, a real castle experience. Agree with all the positive comments from others. Staff great, informative and in all, couldn't have asked for... More

This was booked as a surprise special birthday treat for me because my family knew I was fascinated by anything Tudor. So this hotel was always going to be a winner with its many faceted windows, its towers, its wood panelled library and its spiral staircases. We were shown into a lovely room with a four poster bed and an... More

We had a fabulous "basic" room that seemed like a "real" castle room -- huge leaded windows, poster bed, incredibly comfortable bed. The room was very large and well appointed. We stayed for dinner which was delicious; drinks in the lounge before dinner are included in the dinner price. Breakfast was very good and food arrived promptly. it was a... More

We booked the dinner, bed & breakfast deal at this hotel for our wedding anniversary and it was an excellent experience. We had a tower room which was like something from Game of Thrones, really was great with the spiral staircase, stone walls, fireplace and drapped 4 poster bed. We could not fault anything from the accomodation, to the service... More

My partner and I have just spent the weekend at Thornbury Castle. What a fantastic place!!!! Booked it through Great Escapes as a first and with what we saved were a bit unsure of what we would get. Needless to say not disappointed in the slightest. Stayed in the Tudor , what a fantastic room, one of the best ever,... More
