Peckforton Castle, Medieval country house hotel in Peckforton, England

Peckforton Castle features 48 bedrooms within stone walls, architectural elements of Norman design, and a central courtyard surrounded by defensive towers.

Built between 1844 and 1850 for John Tollemache, this Grade I listed building served as a hostel for disabled children during World War II.

The castle interior displays Victorian craftsmanship through Minton tile flooring in the great hall and period furnishings throughout the chambers.

The property functions as a hotel with two restaurants: the formal 1851 establishment and the casual 2010 brasserie for different dining preferences.

The castle grounds included substantial kitchen gardens and glasshouses that required seventeen gardeners to maintain the extensive landscaping.
