What Oliver loves…
- If you are wanting to venture out at night, try eating at Il Giardino in Clevedon, they offer a beautiful view of the sea, with magnificent sunsets.
- Clevedon Pier, 5 minutes drive away, is where One Direction filmed their song 'You & I'. They also stayed at this C17th Castle!
- The master bedroom in the main tower has it's own balcony. It offers a beautiful view of the surroundings. A little table is on the balcony, great to have drinks and admire the colours of the sunset and sunrise. From the bed, each window has a different view.
- Have a BBQ on the outdoor sun terrace and then open the door into the house and go for a dip in the heated pool... fun all year round!
- A peaceful golf course is situated next to the castle.
What you should know…
- Mobile reception can vary depending on provider

Wonderful break so much more than we could have imagined!
We have just returned from our short break at C17th Castle, and would like you to know how very much we enjoyed it. We had the castle all to ourselves and explored every turret! The master suite had wonderful views of the sea and surrounding countryside, and yes, we could see Wales too. The only company we had were two Easter bunnies munching their way through the grass outside, although we understand deer make an appearance from time to time. The castle was pleasantly furnished in a faded elegant way and the chandeliers were splendid. There was a high standard of cleanliness. The sheets were white and fresh and there was an abundance of towels for bath and pool. The pool was a good size and temperature and we made good use of it. It was possible to walk along the sea side which was accessed by a path to the left of the nearby golf club. We would recommend taking walking boots and trainers for rain/sun walking. Three major supermarkets are within a ten minute drive of the castle. We would like to make special mention of Neil who made our stay so relaxing. Last but not least we would like to thank you for this wonderful prize and your generosity in giving it. Our very best wishes to you all
