Castle vacation rentals in Western Europe

We loved our stay at the castle. It was a magical experience to stay in the romance suite. We brought our two young girls and they felt like princesses. Having a tour of the grounds once we arrived helped put into perspective the significance of where we would be staying and it was interesting to hear about the history. It was a beautiful location and a unique experience. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in this region.

Great value for the money. Washer and dryer were an added bonus. Very private and beautiful area.

beautiful home, well located. the bastide is tastefully renovated. Kate is very welcoming and available. lots of things to do in the area. I recommend this place

Castle Barmeath was an incredible Airbnb experience. Lord & Lady Bellew showed us around their 400 Year old Castle which has remained in their family all this time. I’m just amazed at how history one place can hold. There was about 300 acres surrounded by stone walls. Trails trough a gorgeously manicured forest with many trails leading to secrete walled gardens full of fruit trees and flowers. There was even a natural swimming pool and stone bridge over a lake. I feel so lucky to have gotten to experience something so grand and magical!

This was a truly special stay. How often can you say you've stayed at a beautiful castle! Caroline was extremely responsive and everything was as described -- yes, that includes some limitations. When you are in a very historic building that's also someone's private home, you can't necessarily have every amenity that you get in a luxury hotel. But these limitations are very clearly communicated and completely reasonable (mostly that there are some areas of the grounds that are private/not for the Airbnb guests, and that the building gets cold). Caroline supplied many little touches that made it an extraordinary stay, and was very understanding about my young children.

We want to thank Pat for her warm welcome to her castle. He is a passionate host who knows how to convey the history of his family home. The castle has an old-world charm that delighted us. Even with two nights we wished we could have stayed longer. Great stay.

Amazing stay. Castle and apartment was beautiful.

Perfect and very nice accommodation, I would recommend it! Francois was very attentive and available in our exchanges. A big thank you also to Patricia for her lovely welcome and recommendations!

We had an amazing stay at A Good Knight's rest. Perfect for families! We will definitely be back in the future.

Zowie was quick and easy to communicate with. Her instructions were clear and helpful. The location is an easy 45 minute drive into Edinburgh but if you prefer not to drive, a bus stop is just down the hill. Huge bathtub was relaxing, Netflix worked great on the TV, everything we needed was in the kitchen. Great place! Thanks Zowie!

The place was lovely and we really enjoyed how close it was to town!

My friends and I stayed at the castle for a weekend for my 30th birthday and we had an absolute blast. The house is clean, comfortable, and adorably themed. It has all the linens, towels, and toiletries to make your stay convenient with a fully equipped kitchen. The small touches around the house really added to the experience. I don't think there was anything missing from the house. As far as amenities, the castle had a ton to offer and entertained every personality - pool table, foosball, air hockey, board games, an actual escape room, outdoor sauna, hot tub, private lake with boats, grill, outdoor movie screen, etc. Mark & Eva were the most accommodating and responsive hosts. We would definitely stay here again. Don't hesitate to book this place, you and your family/friends won't regret the hospitality and amenities.

A great place to stay with a large group, plenty of bed space, TV, table football and pool table. Would stay here again.

Both the hosts and the best place to stay is impossible

Brilliant Airbnb - highly recommend. Beautiful attention to detail and close to the nearby elegant town of Richelieu. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and visiting a number of wineries and chateaux.

Beautifully decorated and charming, gave us the feeling of living in a castle but with modern accessorises. The grounds were walkable with lots of wildlife. The welcome pack was a great addition and communication was clear and concise.

A beautiful place to stay , with so many extras , felt totally private and loved the use of the outdoor seating area and hot tub . Both me & my wife said it had been one of our favourites, note to others book somewhere to eat if travelling at the weekend. The only ‘extras’ we d of liked would have been robes & slippers but that said that’s being picky . A beautiful find .

A wonderful stay to celebrate our history buff friend - truly felt like staying in the castle itself! We used all Ed’s and a sofa. Which was comfy, and even booked the extra bedroom. The walks around the gate house are wonderful and provide great views. Hosts are super responsive and very helpful, and we even made use of the 25% at the castle during our stay.

This little cottage was so beautiful. Love view of the castle from the front window. Clean, tidy and felt like a home from home. I would highly recommend a stay here. The host communication with us was excellent and they gave clear details of how to get there and how to get in. I give this place a 10 out of 10.

Beautiful stay!! We had a wonderful and memorable evening.

We wanted something peaceful and in the countryside and this was perfect. A little town nearby for a wander round and a good pub for a nice meal at The Raven. The log burner was a great feature for us too to be able to sit and chat and relax in the evening. If you want to get away from your everyday routine modern life this will be as perfect for you as it was for us. Also the hosts responded quickly and were really friendly and helpful.

Joakim was an amazing host and accommodation was magically nice our little family with large and beautiful rural setting with lots of animals to watch and pet. Joakim was extremely helpful and flexible. If you are looking for a beautiful rural environment with animals around, this is perfect.

This house was beautiful and the yard exceeded our expectations - we had the best weekend relaxing outside in the private fenced in area. There was so much space inside of the house no one felt like they were on top of each other would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Love the place! Great for families! We did our family gathering and was spacious for all. Loved that all the rooms had their own full bathroom. The rooftop was great to chill. The only thing was that the oven didn’t work while we were there, HOWEVER Claribel DID provide for enough tanks of propane for the grill, so that worked for us. Otherwise, it was just great. Will love to stay there again.
