Luxury Castle Hotel

Your Unforgettable UK Castle Stay Awaits

Dare to dream

Then wake in grandeur

Discover the magic of a genuine castle stay in the UK at Peckforton Castle, one of England’s most authentic castle hotels. Nestled in the stunning Cheshire countryside of North West England, our Victorian Gothic fortress offers an extraordinary escape where history, luxury, and romance combine to create an unforgettable castle accommodation experience.

Unlike many UK castle hotels that are simply grand country houses, Peckforton Castle is a true fortress complete with towers, turrets, battlements, and a drawbridge. Built in 1851 by architect Anthony Salvin for MP John Tollemache, our castle was designed to authentically recreate a medieval stronghold while incorporating Victorian comfort and grandeur.

Authentic Castle Architecture

History meets modernity

When you stay at Peckforton Castle, you’re not just booking a hotel room with castle theming. You’re experiencing genuine castle living within walls that soar skyward, beneath vaulted stone ceilings, and through corridors lined with suits of armour. Every corner reveals architectural details that transport you back centuries: stone spiral staircases, Gothic arched windows, ornate fireplaces, and commanding views across the Cheshire Plain.

Our 48-acre estate includes woodland walks, formal gardens, and elevated positions that offer panoramic views stretching to the Welsh mountains on clear days. This is castle accommodation as it was meant to be experienced.
