The Top 6 Reasons To Rent A Castle

We’ve pulled together a list of all the most popular reasons people choose to rent a castle, but let’s be honest – you don’t need a special occasion to holiday in style. If you want to rent a castle, do it… no one’s stopping you! We all deserve some luxury now and again.

Christmas/New Year

Spend the most wonderful time of the year snuggled up with your loved ones in a magical castle or chateau: grand dining halls, picture-perfect surroundings, and incredible interiors… there’s no better place to make unforgettable memories at Christmas, or see in the New Year with a stylish party!

A Family Holiday

Spending quality time with all the family is so important, and where better to get-together than a gorgeous castle or chateau? With plenty of space, and lots for the kids to explore (their imagination will run wild!) it’s the perfect solution! Splitting the cost makes castle stays more affordable than you’d think!

Birthday Celebrations

Make their birthday one to remember with a stay in a magnificent chateau or medieval castle with their close friends and family. Whether it’s a milestone birthday or a special surprise, a party in a luxury castle really isn’t something you or your guests will be forgetting any time soon!

Special Occasions

From engagement parties and baby showers to diamond wedding anniversaries, there’s no better place to celebrate in style – and seriously impress your guests – than your very own castle or French chateau.

Weddings

A wedding is one of the most popular reasons for booking a castle or chateau: they’re an enchanting, fairytale backdrop for your special day. The lavish interiors, original architecture, and beautiful spaces are made for weddings – and the bonus is all your guests can stay in the same place!

Heritage

From the imposing, grand exteriors and the Victorian walled gardens, to the quintessentially British and old-school manor houses, our chateaux and castles are drenched in history. Step back in time and experience the original features and tales of long ago!

Rent a castle, make memories

When it comes to hotel rooms and B&B’s, there’s not much you can do other than sleep – and when it comes to a special event you need somewhere beautiful, unique and spacious. There’s nothing more unique than your very own stay in a castle. Our collection of awe-inspiring castles and chateaux are all handpicked by our very own destination experts to ensure every little detail is perfect for you.

Whether you’re planning your wedding day, hosting a New Year’s Eve party or just catching up with friends and family, renting one of our castles is sure to make your special occasion extraordinary. Plus, the kids will love it – if you’re planning a big family reunion or just an annual get-together, young ones will find plenty to explore – their imaginations will run wild in the gardens and halls. With historic tales and stories of battles, staying in a castle will be something they’ll always remember – making memories you’ll never forget.

Staying in a castle or chateaux takes your wining and dining to the next level too, with options like fully-catered stays, evening banquets in palace halls, and champagne tastings in underground wine cellars.

Live like a royal, eat like a king, roam through the grand halls, soak up the history from centuries ago, study the detailed architecture, and simply immerse yourself in a fairytale escape. The hard part will be staying anywhere else other than a castle for all your other holidays!
