Located on the edge of Wilton Village on the banks of the River Wye, this grand castle boasts expansive grounds with space for alfresco dining amongst the ancient buildings. The exposed brick and stone alongside vintage furniture and paintings highlight the home's original construction, but this dated interior won't be for everyone. The location is beautiful though, with the Wye Valley being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You'll receive a hamper when you first arrive and pets are welcome, so we think it's a good spot for families and friend groups looking for a historic stay with lush surroundings.

About The Forest of Dean
Named England’s first National Forest Park in 1938, the Forest of Dean is the country’s oldest oak woodland, stretching across Gloucestershire and along the River Wye. Originally a medieval hunting ground for Henry VIII, the forest boasts a rich and varied history, sourcing timber for Tudor warships and housing iron and coal mines in Victorian times. Today, the forest is back to its natural state, a lush and peaceful adventure...
