The UK is a country that is known for the glitz and glamour of its accommodations. While there are plenty of five-star hotels that can provide lavish rooms, many prefer staying in stately homes, log cabins, and historic castles, among other alternative choices.
Broughton Hall
This accommodation in the Yorkshire Dales is fit for a king, allowing you to experience royal living even just for a day. This country house is splendid from the outside to the inside. From the vast courtyard to the beautiful interior, it is hard to not fall in love with this place. It has bedrooms that exude distinct character, and most of all, you will enjoy personal service. Here, there are only 15 bedrooms, which makes the place intimate.
Aldourie Castle
Scotland is known for its castles, but if there is one that you should visit, it would be Aldourie Castle. From the outside to the inside, this looks like something taken out of a fairy tale book. You can stay here for a couple of days, or even for several weeks. There is plenty for everyone to do in Scotland. You can host house parties and intimate gatherings. In Loch Ness, this is the only castle that you can hire, making it popular. It is part of a 500-acre estate. With the grandiose appeal of this castle, you may not want to go out at all.
Lismore Castle
When thinking of renting a castle in Ireland, this is one option that should be on the top of your list. It has been around since 1170, making it steep in terms of history. It used to be the residence of the family of the Duke of Devonshire, which is why many of its features are reflective of luxury in a massive scale. They have high-end amenities, including banquet halls that will be perfect for intimate family events. Best of all, you will feel part of the family because of the royal treatment that you will receive from the staff of the castle. If you really enjoy spending your time in castles and stately homes, then you could gain employment in a private household.
Leeds Castle
Located in Kent, Leeds Castle is one of the most popular castles not only in UK, but in the world. Demand is going to be high, so be sure to book in advance. Aside from the well-appointed rooms, one thing that will make you look forward for your stay is the breakfast, which is served at the 17th century Fairfax Restaurant. Built in the 1120s, the castle has been refurbished several times to keep up with the demands of its guests and to make sure that it will offer an experience that is hard to match.
Tregenna Castle Resort
If there is one thing that sets it apart from many others, it would be the fact that it is not only a castle, but also a resort. This means that you will not only be able to enjoy luxurious accommodation, but you will also enjoy the wonderful coast of Cornwall. It is part of a 29-acre estate and has 80 bedrooms, making it significantly bigger in terms of capacity than most of the castles that we have earlier mentioned.
