About this castle / palace rental
IMPORTANT NOTE: The auto pricing on the VRBO App is not accurate. Please message us for best quotation!
NOTE: WE ARE CURRENTLY UPDATING OUR FIRE SAFETY MEASURES AND ACCOMMODATION IS LIMITED TO MAX 16 GUESTS IN OUR CASTLE TURRETS.
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.
Just 1hr 29 minutes from Central London (Euston Station) on the Avanti West Coast Express train to Stoke on Trent then 20 minutes taxi to the Castle gate - so accessible! If you drive we have onsite parking for 12 cars.
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.
The friendly Red House pub serving excellent English pub food and drinks is a 3 minute walk from the Castle front gate.
Alton Towers is a short 30 minute drive from the Castle and enhances the Castle as a perfect stay for guests with families or for couples seeking a fun get-away.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our pricing is based on a per room per night basis, 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. Our quote is often cheaper than the price indicated by the VRBO App, which prices each stay on the number of people staying per night.
You can hire your own local chef to design a meal according to your taste and budget in the Castle's guest dining room that can seat up to 30 guests around large oak tables. Please ask us for details.
You can also cook for yourself in the main Castle kitchen or in one of the kitchens in your castle turret.
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.
