Eastnor Castle, Portcullis Office, Eastnor, Ledbury HR8 1RN

A 19th-century castellated mansion built in the Norman Revival style, still owned by the Hervey-Bathurst family and open to the public only on selected days through the year. Outside those days, the castle bedrooms can be booked for exclusive-hire stays rather than regular visits.

Worth the trip

The chance to actually sleep in the castle via exclusive-hire bookings, rather than just filing through on a day visit.

Before you go

Check the specific open days before planning a trip, since this isn't a castle with regular daily hours — with no visitor review data available yet, it's worth confirming current access details directly before you go.

Selected open days; exclusive-hire castle bedrooms
