Sleeping like Royalty: The Best Castle Hotels in the World

Travelversed Editors | July 14, 2017

Augill Castle – Cumbria, England

Under two hours outside Manchester, Augill Castle offers the perfect combination of rich history and family-friendly comfort. The castle is now privately owned (Simon and Wendy Bennett live on-site with their kids), and offers the option of booking single rooms. For larger gatherings, you can rent the entire place for up to 30 guests.

The castle was built in 1841, and accommodated a variety of notable guests, including Queen Victoria in the Pendragon room, reportedly. Each room is individually furnished with four-poster beds and Victorian-era claw-foot bathtubs.

The Stable House suite would be perfect for families. For couples looking for a romantic retreat, check out the Gatehouse room – our personal favorite. Rooms start from $267, and you can book them on Airbnb.
