I can not begin to describe the absolutely magical environment the owners have created at Thorngrove Manor. We had an amazing stay, the food was great and the owners were friendly and told us about the history of the property and the beautiful antique art within.
This was a magical place to approach (though watch out for the sharp turn onto the entrance road at night in the rain). Fantastic feeling and great comfort throughout the rooms.
This was the perfect place to celebrate my partner’s birthday. So much attention to detail throughout that made the experience so luxurious and romantic. Being able to enjoy breakfast outdoors in the beautiful garden was also very special. Thank you Ken for creating such an amazing and thoughtful experience.
From the moment we pulled up in the driveway it was magical. The host went over & above to make our stay a memorable one.It was like we were in a fairy tale as the castle & grounds were magnificent.The bed was so comfortable & quality of the linen just lovely.Cleanliness was A1.The antiques & hanging tapestries added to the ambience.My husband & I would highly recommend staying here & seeing for yourself as there is too much to mention.
Ken was an amazing host. I was truly astounded at how beautiful the property was and even more so with Ken’s story. I chose this location to propose and wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Thank you for sharing your dream with us Ken.
My fiance and I had a genuinely unforgettable stay at this listing. We have been raving about it to friends and family since, and not only would we recommend it to anyone and everyone else, but we already plan to return in the future.
An immense amount of care and attention has been put into this beautiful and historic residence and it truly made our whole weekend.
Thank you Kenneth and Nydia!
My wife organised an annivesary getaway for us both and we were greeting at the gate by Kenneth. Showed us around the gorgeous property and our stay was divine. We both felt like royalty! Kenneths antiques are exquisite and a hidden gem up in the hills. It really felt like we were in another world. Kenneths hospitality was wonderful. A highly recommended experience.
It was my Husband’s 60th, so I decided I would take him on a unique, historical adventure. The Castle is truly spectacular, the architecture beautiful, not to mention the antique furniture and tapestries. Ken, your attention to detail to re-create the Castle is mind blowing. Thank you for your warm welcome on arrival and afternoon tea. Truly an unforgettable experience. We look forward to when we can stay again.
The Castle Keep is without a doubt, the best Stayz accomodation we’ve been too. Kenneth provided us with everything we needed to make our time there enjoyable. The photos do not do it justice! The attention to detail is truly spectacular, you really feel that you’re transported to another time. From the open fireplace to the beautiful furnishings and antiques,this accommodation is just magical. We will return for sure. Mark and Sara Jay
It was amazing and magical. My husband and I had an incredible experience. The bathroom is the best with all well stocked shelves. Kitchen is clean and full of food. Bedroom had a very luxurious bedding’s and the host is just really really approachable. And I had a birthday afternoon tea which was serve soon after our arrival. Best experience ever!! My birthday has been magical.
Beautifully presented, from entering through the gates to departure. Nothing has been overlooked. It was such a surprise for my partner. I had been wanting to go for a long time and his birthday was the perfect excuse. I will have to find another one now. Winter and the roaring fire was perfection.
A rare collection of wonderful furniture housed appropriately in an amazing Manor. Truely a labour of love spanning decades, Thorngrove represents a fitting tribute to the dedication of its owners.
Such a beautiful place to spend some time away! Both inside and outside were gorgeous. Ken was a fantastic host.
Great clear communication and welcoming.
Would definitely stay again!
