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.

This was truly special. I took my 10 year old daughter hoping it would be worth the bus ride from London, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. We rented Tudor costumes and walked all around taking lots of photos. My daughter was in heaven. The Anna of Cleves room was luxury accommodations and absolutely worth it. The bed was so comfortable! The three course dinner was delicious, and my daughter was allowed to order off the kids menu which she found to be exactly what she wanted. Breakfast was great also! The staff couldn't have been nicer and really seem to enjoy their jobs. I think it is perfect for a one night magical stay. It was a splurge and it felt like we got more than we paid for! We certainly made the most of it and will never forget it.
