There is just nothing quite like the feeling that comes with crossing the threshold of a castle and entering another time and place.
Step back in time. Although one can visit castle imitations, there is nothing to compare with real castles to rent. Castles offer the excitement and glamour found in movies and books. Castles offer the luxuriant feeling associated with royalty. Castles are amazing architectural gems that offer rooms of antique, awe-inspiring furnishings. Imagine the family visiting a castle that is not candy-coated by Disney.
Find a piece of history. Castles provide living historical lessons. Just walking the halls, viewing their original artwork, and looking out on their landscapes fill in the sensory gaps in our human brains. Suddenly the era of knights and kings becomes tangible to the touch.
Get away from it all. Located in remote and often pristine settings, castles offer a way for modern people to get a taste of a different life. Ornate gardens beckon walkers to stroll and forget their cares. Waterways invite boating and bathing. Ornate rooms invite visitors to relax, recline, read and rest. Cameras will stay busy recording architecture, artefacts, art, ancient woods and intricate gardens.
Glorious views. Some castles still stand guard over the ocean, lakes, lochs or rivers. Others sit against a backdrop of mountains and sky. These glorious views become memories that linger long after the trip has passed.
Weekends or weeklong holidays. Couples, families and friends can get away from it all in often reasonably-priced accommodations. Rooms may be in an imposing castle, a stately manor, a spooky tower or gatekeeper's cottage. There are castle halls, towers, and fortresses to explore alongside tennis courts, golf courses, swimming pools and more. It's a great way to spend a weekend out of town or find a pleasant stop on a longer holiday.
Family reunions. Families can rent a tower house castle or other unique five-to-eight room setting that will provide a group vacation or reunion that is unforgettable. Imagine having the run of a place with towers to explore and large halls to provide ample space for visiting and dining together. Get out and enjoy the woodsy surroundings and the outdoor activities native to the castle grounds.
Romantic hideaways. Couples can find romance in a remote castle. With their own kitchen, they can make their own meals or take advantage of inexpensive pubs and restaurants in a nearby town. If they want luxury, they can take a room in a four-star or five-star hotel castle. Their dining will be part of the upscale experience. Hotel castles sometimes feature indoor pools, fitness rooms, saunas and spas.
Wedding Bliss. Many castles provide a wedding setting that is right out of a fairy tale. Halls with their ornate fireplaces and architectural features provide ample space and seating for wedding guests. Take the wedding outdoors to wide, well-planted gardens that offer their own unique backdrop for pictures and partying. Often, couples take a suite in the castle and enjoy a honeymoon in its warm, royal embrace.
Modern conveniences. Although castles offer true glimpses into the past, their owners have carefully renovated to provide individual bathrooms and other conveniences. Some owners offer hot tubs in their suites. Others offer kitchens to allow guests to take care of their own meals. Most have televisions with satellite reception. In the hotels, staff members ensure that guests can enjoy a luxurious stay without effort or anxiety.
Hundreds to choose from. There are literally hundreds of castles of all sizes. They are located in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, and many other European countries. Finding one in your country of choice and your price range is a good first step to planning a memorable vacation
