Thornbury Castle Hotel

Inspector comments
"Setting and food are both solidly impressive and pretty as a picture."
Overview
The very splendid Thornbury Castle is an extremely impressive setting for equally impressive cooking. You won’t find many more dramatic Tudor buildings where you can eat your dinner, that’s for sure. Henry VIII, Sir Lawrence Olivier and Sophia Loren have all tucked into something delicious here and it would be rude not to follow them. Choose from a three-course à la carte or the six-course tasting menu, offering precisely constructed, intricate and elegant modern British dishes of a very high standard.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley
