Thornbury Castle
Kings and queens have stayed here. Courtiers have flirted with ladies-in-waiting in the ancient yew-hedged gardens. Serving girls have chattered in the stone-flagged courtyard. Today, Thornbury Castle still resonates with history and is the only Tudor castle in England to be open as a hotel. Visitors can enjoy afternoon tea in the library or lounge every day between 3pm to 4.45pm. Relax in the stately surroundings with a cream tea or a coffee, freshly baked scones with homemade jam and clotted cream. There's a choice of homemade biscuits and cakes, or a full tea with a selection of finger sandwiches.
