Abundant wildlife can be experienced in the summer months, including deer, badgers, squirrels and a wide variety of bird life.

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 with wood panelling and 4 poster beds.

Famous former residents include Charles Darwin and the Wedgwood Family.

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

The Castle is secluded yet as noted above only 1.5 hours from Central London on the Avanti West Coast Express train and only a 3 minute walk to the centre square of Caverswall - a quaint village of 900 residents. Caverswall is noted in the Doomsday Book of 1086 comprising of 12 households.

Fabulous place to stay. Completely unique accommodation and it really did feel as though we were staying in a fairytale castle. Very responsive and helpful host. There were 7 of us staying for a birthday celebration and it is just perfect for relaxing and enjoying each others company. The period bedrooms and the contrasting modern en-suite bathrooms are absolutely stunning. We have already booked again for next year

The location and accommodation was superb, a perfect venue for our Christmas Murder Mystery themed 70th birthday celebration. The panelled walls, four poster beds, and quirky layout of stairs-cases and so many different rooms kept adults and children intrigued. We had a chef cooking for our party who valued the fully equipped kitchen. The owner John responded to every query quickly and effectively and the housekeeper and security/ maintenance guy were very helpful both prior to our stay ( allowing visits and answering queries) and actually on the day ensuring everything was ready for us, including making sure the whole house had a festive feel.

Before and during our stay John, the host, was always attentive and supportive. Mandy who is the on-site Manager was lovely and really helpful and was there to meet us when we arrived. Because we live local to the area Mandy was good enough to allow my mum and grandkids have a look around this historical property too. It is an amazing old building dating back to the 13th century. There was a good combination of old features particularly in the main entrance and sitting room and also luxury well equipped modern bathrooms. As locals living close by, it was a fantastic opportunity to stay overnight in such a wonderful building. From the village and small road that leads to the castle you wouldn’t know it was there. Well recommended to stay somewhere unique and historical. For those with families it would make an ideal base to explore the area and visit Alton Towers.
