The magic of Christmas can take on a grander theme this festive season, with guests of a new collection of historic castle hotels being able to live like a king or queen for a few days.
The newly formed Storied collection showcases an array of incredible properties throughout the UK and Ireland, with all of them having a distinctive and intriguing history behind every wall and parapet. And with over 39 hotels to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice as you decide where to explore your inner clan chief or feudal lord.
With a combined age of 14,487 years, the 39 castle hotels are some of the finest in the land, from Norman fortresses to 19th-century baronial mansions. And one particular historic property of interest is Crossbasket Castle, in Ayrshire.
