About this castle / palace rental

IMPORTANT NOTE: The auto pricing on the VRBO App is not accurate. Please message us for best 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.

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.

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

What a great facility! The title speaks for itself and delivered as promised. We enjoyed staying in this spacious, historic CASTLE! Now, there are some renovations going on, and they were up front about that during the tour, however, that did not detract from our stay! Bathrooms were updated, which was nice, and our rooms were historic and grand. We walked the grounds and inside explored the rich woodwork, the long halls, and the entirely unique place. Amazing find. Rooms have heating for the cool months and there's a great little pub right around the corner within walking distance. Would highly recommend for a group or a family for a little adventure, which so many floors and halls to roam and imagine what these walls have seen over the centuries!
