Ever dreamt of having your own Castle? Here is a rare opportunity to rent a whole Castle for you, your family and friends, have a banquet in the great hall, sit by the large open fire, swim in the lake, take long walks from your doorstep into the beautiful Sussex countryside and enjoy a glass of wine at sunset by the lake; but still being only 1 hour from London. Step into a real-life fairytale adventure staying at Braylsham Castle, situated between Mayfield and Heathfield in East Sussex. The castle is situated on a moated island complete with drawbridge, on a lake set in amongst the rolling Sussex countryside. It is perfect for walking and exploring the local High Wield countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a Unique opportunity to rent a whole castle for yourselves. We are happy for you to invite additional guests for the evening and chance to enjoy dinning in the great hall together - we have seated up to 24 people there before! However, please note THIS IS NOT LUXURY ACCOMMODATION. The roof is a bit leaking (don’t worry you will not get wet), the fixtures and furniture are old, the garden furniture very basic and the bedding is not high thread-count. But the WiFi is good and it is a clean, fun, unique place to stay and make memories with friends and family. Please note that this property is situated over different floors with numerous steps, spiral stone staircases etc and is not suitable for anyone either mobility issues.
I have been a Superhost on Airbnb for 5 years and this is my first booking dot com listing. Please dont hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
Set down half a mile private drive in the middle of the Sussex countryside and an area of outstanding natural beauty, you can easily forget you are only an hour from London. From the castle you can visit the nearby historic village of Mayfield, visit Winnie-the-Poo’s old stomping ground at Ashdown Forest, Kipling’s home of Batemans, numerous National Trust options, Bewl Water reservoir or just immerse yourself in the rolling Sussex hills. 30 mins to Pevensey Bay, 45 mins to Rye and Camber Sands and The Spa town of Tunbridge Wells is a 20 mins drive.
