Thornemead Castle

I could not have imagined a more welcoming, decadent and genuinely lovely start to my 40´s. Thank you for your kindness, hospitality and creating such a magical escape. We all had an amazing time and hope to return soon.

Thank you for such a beautiful stay in this incredible home. We loved sitting outside and enjoyed walks into town for meals. This home is so well equipped and comfortable - we loved it.

This has been an experience of a lifetime for us, thank you! Everything in the house is so thought-through and beautiful, a true joy for the eyes and the mind. We have had a fantastic time celebrating my mothers jubilee and we hope to come back in the future!

The description was enticing, the floor plans and facilities listed were extremely helpful and the novelty value (a castle) was well matched by the luxury and quality of finishing, with magical touches everywhere. It was a truly exceptional experience from pre-communication, through to arrival, the stay itself and then departure - at the very highest end of anywhere we’ve stayed. Impossible to have wished for anything more.

Great looking accommodation with fantastic facilities. Looked ideal for what we wanted. Lots of space and facilities which kept us entertained throughout our stay. Thank you once again.

We couldn´t have wished for a better place to celebrate our Golden Wedding anniversary. Exceptionally high attention to detail by the owners who were very welcoming and helpful, but unobtrusive.

Despite the castle being so big the place is spotless and everything smells amazing! Their cleaning team is great! I can only say that the photos on the Unique Homestays website are beautiful but I do not feel they do enough justice to how magical this place is! I would strongly, strongly recommend this amazing place (although that would probably make it more difficult for us to find availability in the future however, you deserve this experience and the owners deserve the best of guests).

It´s been a pleasure to meet you and stay in this magnificent place. We had the most enjoyable and relaxing time. We felt like Kings and Queens over these few days and we are going back to London full of energy and wonderful experiences. We will come back, we are in love with this place! Thank you for everything!

Thank you for making our stay in your beautiful home so special. You really have thought of all the details to ensure we were all very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our week.

The owners of Thornemead Castle are very welcoming. The house is sumptuous, warm, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The welcome goodies were first class. Every member of our small family party thought it a fantastic place to stay and we´re sorry to leave. All in all, a very pleasurable experience!

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful home. We have had a wonderful week enjoying the space and all the amenities. No one wanted to go anywhere, as there was so much to do here! We now know where the ´super´ in Western-super-Mare comes from. Thank you kindly for a memorable holiday.

We´ve had a super time in this spectacular house playing tennis, croquet, billiards... the list goes on! We´ve had fun on the beach, the golf course and enjoyed some excellent barbecues plus our dinner party and murder mystery evenings in the beautiful dining room were all great! The house and holiday have been a once in a lifetime experience; just what we all needed after a difficult year. Thank you!

We have had a much-needed and very wonderful holiday here this week. The children have loved all the games both inside and out, and we have loved all the architectural features. So many beautiful walks and breathtaking views nearby and so lovely to come back to and explore this gorgeous house. Thank you.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the hospitality so much; the welcome hamper, the fireplace in the library, the delicious eggs - it was all wonderful. The weather was also perfect and Thornemead was the place to be this week! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home. We would love to stay longer! We enjoyed a great murder mystery party during our time here and have made some wonderful memories. Many thanks once again!

We absolutely loved our castle staycation, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality! We had lots of fun making great memories and we all hope to see you again soon.

Absolutely beautiful, tranquil property with excellent grounds for relaxing and escaping amidst a sea of madness beyond the castle walls! The owners are also wonderful hosts. Thank you!

Thornemead Castle is absolutely stunning. The building, grounds, location and hosts are all perfect. It really was an unbelievable place to spend a week and an amazing experience living on the ´other side´ of the fabric barriers found in stately homes. The building and gardens are stunning, the housekeepers and owners are great and incredibly welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning to Thornemead for another week of relaxation soon.

We had a wonderful stay! A beautiful home and setting. The standard of cleanliness is so high – everything is immaculate, as we had hoped for. The hosts are absolutely lovely – it was a pleasure from start to finish.

Thornemead Castle has ideal facilities, space and the wow factor for celebrating a special family birthday. It was great to have both the traditional rooms with open fires in the reception areas as well as a great kitchen and luxurious, spacious bedrooms with modern decor and bathrooms. The hamper with local and homemade produce was a particularly nice touch! This was our first experience with Unique Homestays and we´re definitely keen to use your company again. Everyone in the party has already been recommending it to friends and family! Thank you.

I was a little overwhelmed by what I saw as I was shown into this magnificent house. I experienced friendliness and kindness at Thornemead Castle, which is quite unusual for holiday accommodation. It has been a privilege to enjoy your hospitality; something that will long remain in my memory.

Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to stay in your wonderful home. Thornemead Castle is a treasure! We loved the attention to detail, the beautiful rooms, comfy beds, fabulous supplies hamper and a good coffee machine! We definitely plan to return.

Thank you for sharing your amazing castle with us. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all things you are thankful for, and we certainly had a lot to be thankful for! We appreciated your hospitality, the attention to detail and for flying our flag! We are looking forward to another memorable stay at Thornemead Castle in the future.

Thank you for an amazing weekend. All of us have enjoyed the castle so much, the inside, the outside and the whole area. There is such attention to detail, the castle is perfect and every hope is answered from the lovely hamper, comfortable beds, snooker table, firewood and the laid table... You made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble!

Thornemead Castle is perfect. The location was important to us as we are a group of friends travelling from different parts of the country, as well as space to sit and chat of an evening. The hosts are superb, right from the initial greeting and show around to the final send off. They could not have been more considerate in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The welcome hamper was also amazing and enjoyed by all!

Wow, what a fantastic, marvellous castle to call home for a week! We have enjoyed every minute and thank you for your hospitality, you were here when we needed assistance. Snooker, table football and rugby (on television) entertained us and we enjoyed local walks and the Marina Café. A visit to Bath by train and Taunton races were fun!
