If you've ever dreamt of staying in a breathtaking 17th-century castle, and sleeping in the same rooms that once hosted One Direction, then you are in for a treat! This breathtaking home is what dreams are made of, with sprawling lawns, ivy-covered towers and turrets, this home epicly transports guests back in time. The mix of old and new is done so lovingly, where large stone fireplaces, spiral staircases, and antiquated libraries meet indoor pool, turret bar, and exciting games room. Perfect for large group getaways and weddings, this home caters to every whim, and anticipates every need, leaving guests with nothing but to kick off their shoes and relax in splendorous Jacobean style. If you can bear to tear yourself away from this beautiful home, a fantastic golf course can be found right next door that promises hours of fun for all age groups. The castle occupies an unrivalled position close to the seaside town of Clevedon, and is within a thirty-minute drive from the centre of the city of Bristol, famous for its vibrant culture, iconic suspension bridge, and history of swashbuckling pirates.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
