We can arrange for you to stay as private guests of the owners of a range of castles and great country houses around Britain.
The state rooms convey an atmosphere of opulence and grandeur, with their ornate tapestries, wonderful paintings and antique furniture. They often contain precious and unique collections, from Mediaeval armour to rare books.
Staying in one these houses will not only give you a fascinating insight into British aristocratic life, but you will also have the opportunity to experience a variety of traditional activities and sports associated with British aristocracy and the countryside. Many of these have been enjoyed over the centuries by Royalty and the British upper class.
The gardens of great country houses are famous for their special and unique beauty. Their gardens are laid out to be in harmony with the landscape – which itself was designed to complement the house or castle it surrounded. They may contain herbaceous borders, classical statues and temples, kitchen gardens, glasshouses, arboretums and water features.
