IMPORTANT NOTE: The pricing on the VRBO App is not accurate (too high). Please message us for a quotation!

Step back in history by staying in the Grade 1 heritage listed Caverswall Castle.

Dating back to 1275, the Castle in set in 21 acres, surrounded by a castle Moat and tall trees.

Wander through the grounds and imagine the years gone by.

Stay in a self-contained castle turret or one of the main Castle bedrooms still exuding the history from the 17th century.

Famous former residents include Charles Darwin and the Wedgwood Family.

As you cross the Castle stone bridge spanning the moat, you enter the inner courtyard gardens that can be used for barbecues and picnics overlooking the moat and grounds.

The Castle is secluded yet only a 3 minute walk to the centre square of Caverswall - a quaint village of 900 residents.

30 minutes drive from Alton Towers, it provides a perfect stay for guests with families or for couples seeking a romantic get-away.

Pricing is based on a per room/castle turret basis at a nightly rate per room/turret, so please enquire to us first about the size and nature of your group so we can recommend the best package for you before booking.

The pricing provided by the VRBO App is not applicable to this listing because we charge on a per room basis and the VRBO App calculates costs on a per person basis. Therefore, kindly contact us for a quote that will be designed to suit your needs.

You can hire your own local chef to cook your dinner in the Castle's guest dining room that can seat up to 26 guests around large oak tables.

You can also cook for yourself in the main Castle kitchen or in one of the kitchens in your castle turret. Also there are restaurants within walking distance of the Castle front gate.

We have a live-in Co-Host who will check you in and be on hand to tell you all about the castle. We also have an onsite security guard who is on hand to look after you.

We look forward to welcoming you to Caverswall Castle for a very unique stay.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the costing is based on a nightly rate per room. You and your guests will be the only guests, but the cost will depend upon how many rooms / castle turrets you book. Each group has different requirements (whether guests can share rooms etc), so please let us know in advance how many guests you will have and how many rooms/castle turrets you will need. To help you decide this we have explained the layout below:

1. main castle bedrooms - we currently have 5 of these. They have a king sized bed and large ensuite. They can accommodate up to 2 guests each.

2. castle turrets. These are like mini castles. On the top floor is a king sized bed and bathroom. On the ground floor is a high quality double sofa bed, plus kitchenette, dining table and in one the turrets there is an extra 1/2 bathroom. We have 4 of these castle turrets and they can accommodate up to 4 guests each (on a shared basis). They are ideally suited to families.

Guests also have access to the guest lounge, guest dining room (that can seat up to 24 guests), billiards room and main castle kitchen - all located on the lower ground floor that directly accesses the courtyard gardens, where there are outdoor picnic tables.

Guests can have tea and coffee in the main Castle reception room.

Guests will receive a free tour of the Castle as well.
