About this property

Fairytale Castle close to Alton Towers: Inquire for cheaper quote Now!

IMPORTANT NOTE: The pricing on the VRBO App is not accurate (too high). Please message us for a 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.

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.

Famous former residents include Charles Darwin and the Wedgwood Family.

As you cross the Castle stone bridge spanning the moat, you enter the inner courtyard gardens that can be used for barbecues and picnics overlooking the moat and grounds.

The Castle is secluded yet only a 3 minute walk to the centre square of Caverswall - a quaint village of 900 residents.

30 minutes drive from Alton Towers, it provides a perfect stay for guests with families or for couples seeking a romantic get-away.

Pricing is based on a per room/castle turret basis at a nightly rate per room/turret, 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.

The pricing provided by the VRBO App is not applicable to this listing because we charge on a per room basis and the VRBO App calculates costs on a per person basis. Therefore, kindly contact us for a quote that will be designed to suit your needs.

You can hire your own local chef to cook your dinner in the Castle's guest dining room that can seat up to 26 guests around large oak tables.

You can also cook for yourself in the main Castle kitchen or in one of the kitchens in your castle turret. Also there are restaurants within walking distance of the Castle front gate.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the costing is based on a nightly rate per room. You and your guests will be the only guests, but the cost will depend upon how many rooms / castle turrets you book. Each group has different requirements (whether guests can share rooms etc), so please let us know in advance how many guests you will have and how many rooms/castle turrets you will need. To help you decide this we have explained the layout below:

1. main castle bedrooms - we currently have 5 of these. They have a king sized bed and large ensuite. They can accommodate up to 2 guests each.

2. castle turrets. These are like mini castles. On the top floor is a king sized bed and bathroom. On the ground floor is a high quality double sofa bed, plus kitchenette, dining table and in one the turrets there is an extra 1/2 bathroom. We have 4 of these castle turrets and they can accommodate up to 4 guests each (on a shared basis). They are ideally suited to families.

Guests also have access to the guest lounge, guest dining room (that can seat up to 24 guests), billiards room and main castle kitchen - all located on the lower ground floor that directly accesses the courtyard gardens, where there are outdoor picnic tables.

Guests can have tea and coffee in the main Castle reception room.

Guests will receive a free tour of the Castle as well.

Incredible overnight stay at Caverswall Castle
We absolutely loved staying at the castle to celebrate our friends 40th birthdays! John was great messaging prior to our stay, with any questions I had answered quickly. Mandy was incredibly welcoming and friendly, who met us on arrival and showed us around. What a magnificent place to stay! The castle was incredible, and had loads of amazing rooms and features. We had the best time! Thank you so much

Castle hen party
Excellent property, so much room and character.Mandy the host looked after us well and just left us to it. Enough kitchen space to make and serve our evening buffet and make breakfast.The turrets where we slept were beautiful and the castle grounds are breathtaking.Red inn pub is 2 minutes walk away and serves very reasonably priced food which is delicious.Would highly recommend this magical castle for a truly unique experience.

I stayed here for my birthday with around 20 friends and it was amazing from beginning to end. Mandy made sure everything was clean and she was very welcoming. We had the place to ourselves which was great and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!

Birthday celebration
This castle is a gem.of a find. I celebrated my 50th birthday with 24 family and friends. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful, the main lounge and library great places to gather and spend time together. The dining room was perfect for our special meal. The kitchen neefs some renovation but i understand this is happening later this year. We had a fantastic time celebrating in thisamazing castle.

Our castle adventure!
We had such a lovely time together for a long weekend away at this fantastic castle. It isn’t perfect but the housekeeper and owner are great at communicating and any issues we had such as with the wifi (not their fault) were dealt with as best as they could. The owner is working his way around the castle doing it up and I am sure the new kitchen will be amazing when it’s done and make a nice addition to the shared area. Would go again

Friend's 60th Birthday weekend.
The planning phase was excellent eg negotiation with the manager John re number of rooms etc, facilities, and many other issues. Arrival was smooth. The Castle is amazing, especially when lit up and the grounds are lovely. Osman showed us around and he was very professional and helpful. The Turret rooms are fabulous with exceptional amenities including the sofa beds which are very comfortable. Also the Castle rooms are very impressive. The layout eg kitchen, lounge and dining room plus fridges etc worked extremely well for our celebration. The location worked well for us as we visited the Gladstone Pottery museum, Emma Gladstone Pottery Factory and the next day, the National Memoral Arboretum We are only disappointed we didn't stay for longer - next time!! We will definitely visit again and recommend to our family/friends.

Fabulous
Mandy is a superb host to have on site, so welcoming, helpful and friendly. The location is absolutely beautiful and the owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the character and class of the building whilst adding additional renovations to give the modern touch. Communication was great and we had a fantastic weekend. It was my second time staying here and I can say I’ll definitely be back again in future!

Ideal location and 'homestay' for large family group
The perfect location for my sister's 50th birthday. we booked 4 turret apartments and a main guest bedroom in the house for 15 of us. Great 2pm check-in time and John allowed us a 3pm check-out time on the Sunday which meant we could spend time together as a family for longer. Bedrooms/apartments are very modern and fully equipped. Living spaces are large and enough space for large family dinners

50th Birthday Incredible Stay
From start to finish Mandy the housekeeper catered for our every need. Nothing was too much for her. Rooms were all stunning and clean. We hired a magician and it was the perfect venue for this. We would definitely recommend and look forward to returning soon! Already planning our next visit! The rooms were even better than the photos online. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Dungeons and dragons
Myself and 6 friends stayed for 2 nights and it was absolutely incredible. Between board games , archery , ace throwing and just exploring the castle , the whole weekend was perfect from start to finish. The check in was great and we got to see a lot of the castle and ask questions etc. The rooms were stunning and comfortable. The whole place felt so safe that we didn’t lock any doors and immediately felt like we were at home.
