Sleep in the UK's largest four-poster bed at Thornbury Castle

About

Enjoy exceptional features including 24-carat gilding and the largest four-poster bed in any UK hotel.

Thornbury Castle is a five-star deluxe Relais and Chateaux Tudor castle in the heart of Gloucestershire, on the edge of the Cotswolds.

Once the country retreat of none other than King Henry VIII, Thornbury Castle boasts a history that few other English hotels can match. It is a history that serves as the foundation for experiences that are truly transportive, whisking guests away into another more regal period. Thornbury Castle is 1530s grandeur and 2020s splendour all at once. It is a place where you can escape from the everyday and immerse yourself in untold luxuries.

Standing in 15 acres of regal splendour, surrounded by Tudor Walled Gardens. Thornbury Castle nestles on the northern edge of Thornbury adjacent to the Gloucestershire countryside, 12 miles north of Bristol, and is well placed for visiting the Cotswolds, the Georgian city of Bath, Bristol, and Wales.

Rather fittingly found at the very top of the South Wing tower, the Catherine of Aragon Suite is in every sense the top suite in the castle. Once you’ve climbed the 77 steps of the atmospheric spiral stone staircase (don’t worry they’ll carry your luggage), and pushed open the grand wooden door, you’re greeted by exceptional features, artfully presented across a decadent 71 square metres of living space.

This extravagant suite, set within a former English royal castle, encompasses 24-carat gilding, sumptuous Tudor furnishings, silk wall hangings and, at the heart of it all, the largest four-poster bed of any UK hotel. It’s a space that is every bit as stylish and ornate as a wife of Henry VIII.
