Magical time at the castle Henry VIII suite absolutely worth it Be sure to dine at the castle and tour the grounds
Grant, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not the full Relais & Chateau experience

It was too hot to stay in a castle without Aircond, otherwise a quaint bedroom and interesting castle experience. We were excited to enjoy the legendary Relais & Chateau experience but disappointed at the limited staff on hand and very disappointed with dining experience. In all an unexciting stay with funeral dining atmosphere.

The property is amazing, nice gardens. The staff are not warm as we expected. The dinner menu is not much of varieties and too expensive and the wine is also too expensive Room is nice and the bed is comfortable I do not think we will return
Takashi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Thornbury Castle was amazing! While we were only there for one night, it was a spectacular experience. We felt like royalty. The three course dinner was delicious and well prepped. We stayed in the Mary Queen of Scots room which had a wonderful view of the fountain. The room was spacious and elegant with a host of amenities. All the staff was so kind and helpful. Perfect stop on our honeymoon trip. Definitely plan to return in the future.
