Pull up the drawbridge and take over this regal Norfolk castle fringing Middleton – there's room for all thirty of you to pile in here. Look past those grand turrets, countless drawing rooms, and heirloom antiques dating back to 1450, and this is a surprisingly family-friendly retreat. There's table tennis and lawn games, and if the weather doesn't buck up, rounds of hide and seek inside will keep everyone busy. Perfect for a multi-generational stay with fifteen castle bedrooms. At night, think lavish dinner parties and billiards to keep the night flowing. Prepare to make an entrance at this regal castle estate.

"We have used Plum Guide a few times and have always found the places we stayed and the Plum Guide service excellent from start to finish. Recently we rented an apartment in Venice. The apartment was perfect for our needs - well appointed, comfortable beds, right number of bathrooms, lovely kitchen and living areas. The location was also perfect for us - quiet neighbourhood but close to everything - quick access to 2 vaparetto stops and easy walks to almost everywhere Plum Guide service was, as usual, excellent"
