The story
The story of Leeds Castle Stable Courtyard Bed and Breakfast
Leeds Castle stands on islands in a lake formed by the River Len, near Maidstone in Kent. Historic England lists the castle Grade I, describing a moated royal castle with origins around 1100, taken into Crown ownership around 1278 and substantially rebuilt in the 19th century; its grounds are separately registered Grade II* as a park and garden.
The Stable Courtyard Bed and Breakfast occupies converted stable buildings on the wider estate rather than the castle itself. Guests staying here are given complimentary daytime entry to the castle, subject to availability, and out-of-hours access to the grounds, according to the estate's own site.
