Trusted GuestWhere to even begin! Thornbury was INCREDIBLE. Surpassed our wildest dreams in every which way. We had an incredible film shoot there over the course of four days, and the most luxurious accommodations. I can't say enough good things about Jo, Jayne, and the whole Thornbury team. Each staff member was extremely attentive and accommodating. It was 10 our of 10 every step of the way. A huge thank you to Roger and Lizzy at Celtic Castles for putting us in touch. Couldn't have done it without you!
Shaun, United KingdomExcellent stay over the Xmas period would recommend to anyone, the castle and food was fantastic.
Adele, The castle is stunning. I surprised my husband with a trip for his 50th and it was perfect. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming and our suite, King Henry VII, was amazing. Neither of us wanted to leave.
Lesa, United KingdomOur stay was really lovely, such a very nice place to stay . We stayed in the Henry Vll suite.
