Experience Britain in style - Exclusive Castle Rentals
The castles and stately homes of Britain stand as symbols of timelessness in a fast-moving, ever-changing modern world. Mighty Medieval fortresses, their foundations anchored to the very soul of the nation; Classical palaces which are treasure houses of paintings, statuary, porcelain and art; all are familiar all over the world as icons of a certain privileged and luxurious existence.
Our mental pictures of the country house lifestyle have been painted by books and movies, and for many of us, that is as close as we will ever get to living the comfortable and pampered existence of days gone by. One may still visit the most illustrious of these properties on a tour, guide book in hand, and get the flavour of how life was lived here hundreds of years ago.
But what of the country-house lifestyle nowadays?
Do private castles and mansions still exist?
Do Lords and Ladies still live in gracious style,surrounded by servants and attended by butlers?
The answer is yes, and not only is this lifestyle available to the titled aristocracy; privileged visitors may also choose to live in country house style for a few days, or even a few weeks,. Our Exclusive Castle Rentals offer the chance to take up residence in a castle or stately home which becomes yours exclusively for the duration of your stay. It is a unique experience which is as much a lifestyle opportunity as an archetypal British vacation.
A castle is reserved exclusively for your party’s use for a day, a week, or as long as you wish. You will be pampered by your own butler, catered for by your own chef, and attended by a staff whose aim is to ensure your comfort. There is also the opportunity to sample some of the famous British country pursuits; horseback riding, fishing, shooting, archery, walking and golf. Enjoy a day of fresh air and exercise, sip afternoon tea in the Library, dine by candlelight in a room filled with oil paintings and classical furnishings; then bathe in an enormous claw-footed cast iron bath and finally nod off to blissful sleep in a beautiful four-poster bed.
About the Castles Each of the Castles in the Exclusive Castle Rentals programme has its own character; some are cosy, some are elegant; some are perfect for families, others are more suited to a sophisticated corporate party. They all have certain features in common; style, exclusivity, and a staff determined to make your stay one of the most memorable experiences of your life. Here we have a few examples of the properties that we use. It isn’t an exhaustive list, and there are many other possibilities; stay with a titled family as their personal guests, or hire a fully-serviced private apartment adjacent to a world-famous castle.
