Castle cottages

Castle estate cottages in the UK

Self-catering on castle estates, with the castle as your neighbour.

These 80 places to stay sit on a castle estate in the UK: cottages, lodges and apartments in the grounds or the outbuildings. You sleep near the castle, and in most cases not inside it.

Each one carries level 2 on our scale until we have checked it. If a listing turns out to be inside the castle itself, it moves up; if you want to sleep inside the walls for certain, look at castle hotels or whole castles to rent instead.
