    This was a wonderful choice for a milestone event.

    This was a bucket list stay for me (a milestone birthday) and I loved the castle experience. Our room (Mary Tudor Suite?) was amazing; spacious, comfortable, and gorgeous. The decor and furnishings in the bedroom felt historically appropriate but fully functional. The bathroom was one of the best I have experienced. The breakfasts were excellent. In addition we had two dinners which were also excellent (but possibly slightly overpriced). If I were to stay again I would have only one special dinner at the castle and eat elsewhere other nights. The neighborhood was peaceful and we enjoyed walking through the garden one evening.

    There is nothing to not like.

    There are no words to describe the experience. Rooms are excellent, service fantastic, area beautiful, food great. Price reflects the level of luxury but is worth it. We went with a 9 year old, and we had an absolutely great time.

    A true Castle, I wouldn't spend a week here but a must experience when in this part of England
    • Leisure trip

    • Suite
    • Stayed 1 night

    I wish there was more historical information about the art, and architecture available. There is a tour but only at certain hours and it must be prebooked. It was not available on the day we stayed. I simply wish I could have learned more about the English standards, the art and the furniture I was seeing around the castle, maybe a brochure or an app. The information on the TV and the pamphlet they hand out explain the history but not much about the items I was looking at.

    You are staying in a true Castle and the experience meets the expectations. A true once in a lifetime experience. The dinner was perfect in every way. The Henry the 8th suite was magnificent from corner to corner and the Elizabeth the 1st suite was brilliant with the largest bed I've ever slept in. The bath in the Elizabeth room overlooking the English countryside was unforgettable. The grounds and gardens were so much fun to explore and experience. Afternoon tea was delicious as well as elegant.

    I had called for room service and was directed to leave a message, so I did. Asked them to bring me a Caesar salad, I never received one and never heard back from reception. Other than that the place is amazing.

    No really would recommend and would revisit. Chose not to drive, would be great if Thornbury still had a rail station but was pretty easy to get to from Bristol parkway via taxi and back into Bristol via bus.

    Good breakfast options as you would expect. Fantastic location and within easy walking distance of Thornbury and other places to view and visit. STaff were very freidnly and they were helpful with allergies

    Nothing could be better here...

    Probably the best place I have ever stayed in! The most amazing rooms in an actual castle, luxurious rooms furnished fit for a queen, immaculate, spotlessly clean, yummy breakfast, the surroundings and atmosphere can't be beaten and a good rate for what you get. I cannot recommend staying here highly enough. I cannot wait to return.

    Need to look at the third party with the helicopters They were not good and believe if you offer a service it should not take 2 weeks to try and organise just for it to be mis represented .

    The place was amazing. However…. Trying to organise a helicopter was a frustrating. Part of the stay. Ended up not happening . Staff were fantastic. Rooms were amazing. Grounds were spectacular
