Top 5: Castles You Can Book on Vrbo

Vrbo isn’t just for your everyday home rental. Book a stay in one of these five spectacular castles for a getaway you won’t soon forget.

Fenton Tower

Stay in high style right outside Edinburgh, in Fenton Tower, a 16th-century fortress with a history that dates back to the 11th century. Some of the visitors who’ve come by before you include King James VI of Scotland (and if you don’t recognize him, you might recognize his mother, Mary Queen of Scots). The tower was restored and opened to guests in 2002 to rave reviews and it can fit you and 12 of your best friends in luxury.

Devizes Castle

Devizes Castle was technically built in the 1800s, but it stands on the grounds of several previous castles before it, including one built in the 12th century, and was at one time owned by Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII’s first wife. The exterior boasts a Neo-Norman and Gothic architecture style and the interior is split into four separate accommodations.

Erchless Castle

Channel your love for Outlander and stay in this romantic Scottish castle in Inverness. You’re just a short drive away from major sites such as Castle Leod, Culloden and Urqhuart Castle. The expansive grounds surrounding the castle are beautiful, and the interior is just as elegant as you would expect.

Westbury Castle

In Wales, Westbury Castle is a great pick for a destination wedding, as it sleeps 24 people across its nine bedrooms and four bathrooms. The castle has been home to prominent Welsh families, as well as some nuns. You’ll feel right at home among the soaring ceilings, suits of armor and lavish furnishings.

Carraigin Castle

Set on one of Ireland’s biggest lakes, Carraigin Castle is a 13th-century manor. It was restored in the 1970s, but it still retains some of its best features, such as the oak-beamed Great Hall and stone-arched fireplaces. For $223 per night, this castle is a steal.
