If you’re looking for a group holiday this summer without the environmental impact of flying, look no further than this literal castle that’s now available in Windsor.
Set in West Ashton in Wiltshire, Longs Park Castle comes with a games barn, clock house, and even a Rapunzel’s Tower.
The best part is, it won’t cost you a King’s Ransom to rent it out, with prices starting at just £211 per night. Given the castle sleeps up to 16 people, that makes it just £13 per person per night.
The property was originally built as a gatehouse in 1835 and has eight bedrooms (the clockhouse has a double bed in it), as well as two acres of landscaped gardens around it.
It’s located 14 miles outside of Bath, too, so as long as one of you has a car you can nip into town for some sightseeing and return to your abode for games, drinks, and food.
On the Airbnb listing, the owners of the castle say that the place is ‘Ideal for a medieval-themed feast, banquet, murder mystery weekend venue,’ and also highlight that there are no neighbours for miles. Perfect for an actual getaway from reality.
In total there are five communal rooms, comprising of a lounge/conservatory, study, drawing room, library, and great hall.
The dining hall has a long dining table which will accommodate up to twenty guests together.
As well as the gardens in the outdoor area, there’s a gamekeeper’s cottage that’s been turned into a games barn, a summer house overlooking a duck pond, a Victorian potting shed, an orchard, and an equipped children’s play area.
Pretty much the only downside to the whole thing is that the castle is listed as a ‘rare find’ on Airbnb. It’s likely because the price is so low for what it is, and basically means you’ll have to book way in advance to get a free date.
At least this means you’ll have plenty of time to sort out your Medieval outfit to wear to the banquet.
