Historical places to stay

Travel back in time to England's colourful and at times terrifying past. Stay in a castle once occupied by England’s most famous kings and pitch your tent next to a Roman frontier...

Spend a few nights with the ghouls in one of the country’s oldest hotels or escape to a stately home filled with priceless antiques and surrounded by acres of dreamy gardens.
