Castle Folly- Unique castle experience for two, Castle

This cute 200 year old castle folly with a hot tub was restored with help from the BBC’s ‘My Unique B&B' to give you a romantic experience in a beautiful rural setting.
Medieval themed features include panelled walls, skylight above the bed, and a knight!
Facilities include a shower, TV, fridge freezer, heating, hob and seating inside and out.
A substantial breakfast pack is provided.
Hot tub available for an additional fee on request.
With a village pub close by what’s not to love?
The space
This is a self contained 'tiny house' so as you would expect there's not a lot of space, and that is part of it's charm! You will be pleasantly surprised at what we have managed to fit into this small space.
With a seating area, garden and hot tub outside this is a great space for a romantic time away. The hot tub is available upon request for a fee of £75 for a two night stay and £25 for every additional night. During most of the year it has a showerproof canopy so you can still go in when it is raining, but we do need to remove this if the weather turns stormy, so can't guarantee it will be up.
For the winter months we have a heated floor downstairs, electric heater upstairs, electric blankets and extra blankets for the bed. It is an old building though with beautiful but single glazed drafty windows so if you feel the cold you might like to pack an extra woolly and warm socks!!
Downstairs, the kitchen area has all you need to be able to make a simple supper and a cooked breakfast, including a hob, pans, kettle and toaster. Basic foodstuffs e.g. salt, pepper, tea, coffee, oil and snacks are available. A welcome breakfast pack plus milk and orange juice are provided free of charge. There is a Nespresso machine and some capsules are provided but if you are a coffee addict you may like to bring your own! Fold-up table and chairs mean you can sit inside, or if you prefer there is an outdoor seating area. This is undercover and has pretty festoon lighting for the evening.
The bathroom includes a tucked away walk in shower. Towels are provided.
Upstairs is the bedroom. The beautiful panelled walls definitely give this room a 'wow' factor. The comfortable double bed has a medieval style headboard . Modern facilities in the room include phone chargers, a TV, electric heater and Wi-Fi. Above the bed is a large, gold trimmed skylight. You can watch the sun go down and the stars come out from your bed...how wonderful is that! There is a sliding cover to partially block out the light if you prefer.
The Folly itself is in one corner of a 200 year old walled garden and has a great history. it used to be the boiler house, heating water that ran along pipes in the walls, enabling pineapples to grow against them in lean-to greenhouses.
The garden is a fully enclosed walled garden. The area in front of the castle is shared and available for you. You may see us very occasionally in the garden during the day but we won’t ever so out in the evening so you can be assured you will have your privacy if you eat outside or go in the hot tub.
The property is on the edge of our picturesque sleepy village so any noise will be from wildlife or sheep in the field nearby!
Guest access
You will have access to the castle, the garden in front of the castle, a small pond (!) and the outdoor seating area next to it. and the hot tub.
The part of the garden you can’t see is private. Please note our house is in the garden close to the castle so you are likely to see us coming and going if you spend time outside.
Other things to note
This is a 200 year old building in a rural location. We keep it scrupulously clean but can’t guarantee a little spider, ant or other small insect might sometimes creep in!
There isn't any public transport to Priors Marston so you will need a car to get here and get around when you are here. If you aren’t coming by car we may be able to take you to and from the train station or airport, please just ask and if we can help we will.
The village has a good phone signal for ee and 3 , but others are not so great. O2 doesn't work at all Vodaphone is very weak.
We have an EV charger, which we will be happy for you to use for a fee. Just ask us about it before you get here.
Castle Folly is a great place to stay for relaxing, walking, cycling, and as a base to play golf, explore Leamington Spa and Stratford upon Avon, and of course for anyone interested in history (especially castles!) or looking for something very different. There are more suggestions on places to visit in our online welcome book which we will send you a link to when you book (not allowed in this description).

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every little detail had been thoughtfully planned. Julie went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—a delicious cake for a birthday celebration, leaving a bottle of prosecco, and even our initials in wood on the windowsill! The breakfast was just as thoughtful—fresh bread, two perfectly placed eggs, and many sweet little treats. Every part of the stay was sprinkled with kindness, from the handwritten notes to the charming knights. We just couldn’t have asked for a better or more generous host. The warmth and hospitality made this one of the most memorable Airbnb experiences we've ever had. If you're looking for a truly magical and unique getaway, this is the place to be!

Julie and Toby were really communicative and helpful from the moment I booked to the moment I left. They even went above and beyond by adding personal touches to our stay for my boyfriend's birthday, which was really sweet. Would definitely stay again!
Michael	9 years on Airbnb	https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/dfe78abd-4961-49fa-b990-8c404cfa4792.jpg?im_w=240	5	February 2025	We had a wonderful valentine's weekend in the little castle and the hot tub. The place was full of character and all the little touches made it a welcoming experience. While being very traditional it had all the modern amenities. Sadly the weather wasn't great and it was a bit chilly but it's only a short run between the hot tub and the castle.
Rachael	7 years on Airbnb	None	5	February 2025	Such a lovely little castle. Super cosy place with everything you need for a weekend of peace and relaxation. The hot tub was fantastic and really private. Would recommend this place to everyone and I hope to get the opportunity to go back! Julie and Toby really went the extra mile with a breakfast basket and selection of snacks, along with some lovely personal touches to make the stay feel all that more special!
Louise	2 years on Airbnb	None	5	January 2025	What a beautiful, peaceful and unique stay. Accommodation exactly as pictured and described.

We shall definitely return to make more wonderful memories.❤️

Sharon	3 months on Airbnb	None	5	December 2024	Our weekend at Castle Folly was heavenly. It’s a special place. The thoughtful touches - electric blankets, choice of pillows and duvets, little gifts… all so well considered and made us feel like special guests in a way we haven’t seen in many Airbnbs. Great communication with Julie from booking, made sure it was just a lovely stress-free experience all round.

Robert	4 months on Airbnb	None	5	November 2024	Me and my wife had an amazing, unique experience at castle folly. It was faultless from start to finish. The decor, hot tub, grounds and of course the hosts Julie and Toby were all more than we could ask for. The communication and effort that was put in for us to make our stay the best possible was unbelievable. First class. The extra special arrival touches was greatly appreciated too. We will certainly return, thank you!!
