Thornbury Castle Full Description
As the only Tudor Castle in the UK which you can stay in as a hotel, Thornbury Castle offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Set on the edge of the Cotswolds in the South Gloucester countryside, and close to the M5, Thornbury Castle is in the perfect location for your wedding guests. The dramatic outline of the Castle creates an unforgettable backdrop for weddings with the historic Tudor gardens and opulent interior with original stone walls and fireplaces. Each of the 26 bedchambers are truly unique with four poster beds, stone walls and spiral staircases in abundance. Thornbury Castle is known for its superb cuisine. All of the ingredients are either locally sourced or freshly picked daily from the Castle kitchen garden. Nothing goes to waste as scented herbs and edible flowers are also used to decorate cocktails and cakes, and bringing a splash of colour from the seasons.

A Big Thank You for Charlotte & the Team
We have had to move our wedding due to COVID and she (Charlotte) has been so helpful and kind and I just wanted to say a big thank you to her and the team for being able to accommodate us. I understand that under the current circumstances planning a wedding is stressful for all brides but she has really put our minds at rest and done everything she can to help us. I am really pleased with the service we have received and im so glad we went ahead and booked our wedding at Thornbury Castle which will now be taking place in 2022.

I cannot say enough good things
I cannot say enough good things about you and our wedding day to everyone I know. It really was absolutely perfect, and I miss it daily. I wish I could relive it again! I'm anxiously awaiting our photographs, and that should help :) ... I have become obsessed over all things Tudor over the last several years, so its very intriguing to hear your story. I wish I lived in Thornbury so we could talk about it over coffee or a cocktail! It sounds like you were just meant to be part of the castle, no matter what.

Absolutely thrilled and so very glad that we chose Thornbury Castle for our wedding venue
We had the best day ever!!! You and your staff and anyone else that assisted us from the hotel in any way at all in the last two days was absolutely wonderful. The staff are extremely professional and give excellent service, so considerate of our needs they took care of any issues that may have arisen (which were minimal). I am absolutely thrilled and so very glad that we chose Thornbury Castle for our wedding venue. We have both said that it was one of the best days of our lives, it was that good. Your staff went out of their way to make sure that our day was nothing but perfect. We had everything we could possibly need. Steven and I would like to thank you and everyone at Thornbury Castle for making our day glorious. Please pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone, I would like to say what an exceptional team you have there. Oh and we have already decided to return for our first anniversary!
