Description

The Royal Treatment

Soaring dramatically above the rolling countryside, Knights Castle is a truly magnificent property that enjoys breathtaking views of the estate and its surroundings from its enviable elevated position. The historic castle is the main residence of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, whose family has held the land since 1509.

Thousands of people every year travel to Knights Castle to view the array of historical treasures, charming grounds, and stunning architecture of this world-famous site. Imagine then having the opportunity to stay at this lavish property as private guests of the Duke and Duchess. Guests are presented with their own private wing and the dedicated services of the estate’s staff.

The state rooms offer guests an unprecedented opportunity to experience the lavish lifestyle. From grand dinner parties and elegant soirées to leisurely family pursuits and intimate dinners, the rooms at Knights Castle are ideal for a wide variety of both formal and informal get-togethers.

The property features an opulent ballroom, an elegant picture gallery, a stunning billiards room, and a fascinating guardroom, to name a few, while the bedrooms offer a blend of comfort, luxury, and sophistication, most of which are equipped with en-suites or private bathrooms. A stay at Knights Castle is simply majestic, especially given that you will be occupying rooms that have seen Kings and Queens as previous guests.

A Customised Experience

The friendly and highly professional service from the staff at the estate is a highly customised affair; simply let them know what your requirements are, and they will be more than happy to accommodate your wishes. From formal dinners, corporate presentations, and a children’s nanny to spa treatments, picnic lunches, and guided tours of the castle, no request is too big for the staff at Knights Castle.

The estate is also well equipped for country pursuits; horse riding and country walks are available on-site and, with its close links to the community, the castle can offer just about any pursuit that comes to the minds of its guests.

From the moment you arrive, you will experience the unique blend of warm hospitality, dedication to pleasure, and discreet attention to your needs that embodies this amazing aristocratic residence. A stay at Knights Castle is most certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
