Located on the fringes of the Cotswolds, Thornbury Castle is a five-star deluxe Relais and Châteaux Tudor castle steeped in opulence and history.

The Deluxe rooms boast iconic period details, while the Superior Deluxe rooms offer rich period detailing and luxurious comforts. For an even more indulgent stay, the Castle Suites are designed to enhance your experience, with some featuring the largest four-poster bed in any UK hotel.
The castle’s restaurant, awarded three AA rosettes, offers an exceptional dining experience sourcing top-quality local produce and offering a six-course tasting menu for those looking to celebrate a special occasion. The level of attention to detail and service is truly impressive, making it a highlight of any visit.
