Treat Your Mum or Partner to the Things She’s Never Done

If you’re always struggling with what to buy to spoil your mum or partner, perhaps you’ve been thinking along the wrong lines.  According to research commissioned by medieval English castle hotel, Langley Castle, an authentic English castle experience, is probably just the ticket.

The Northumberland castle, near to historic Hexham, has discovered that nearly a quarter of women (24%) would want to put a stay in an authentic medieval castle hotel on their bucket list.  

It also discovered that 36% of women have never slept in a four-poster bed and had the sensational experience of awaking and feeling like true royalty.

All of this can be put right, if you gift your loved one a stay at Langley Castle, or purchase a gift voucher that will allow her to book her own experience, at a time to suit.

The castle is full of authentic features, ranging from its magnificent seven-feet-thick walls, to spectacular medieval arches and raised window seats.  It also boasts the best example of medieval toilets – garderobes – in Europe, so there is no disputing that it is the real deal, when choosing a castle to suit the most important woman in your life.

Inside the castle, many of the rooms have four-poster beds, so you can treat that special someone to a stay in one of the Feature or Deluxe rooms that have this wow-factor feature.  If she prefers a more contemporary bedroom, then you can instead cover the cost of her stay in the Castle View or Castle Lodge accommodation, located in the Langley Castle grounds.

Either way, they can enjoy exploring the castle’s Drawing Room, with its wonderful log fire and chandeliers, and can also dine in the 2AA Rosette ‘Josephine’ restaurant.  Alternatively, there is a relaxed dining menu to enjoy, or maybe even an afternoon tea delight, if she loves sweet and savoury treats, with or without accompanying fizz.

She can also experience the food joys of a wonderful Northumbrian breakfast and then join a complimentary Battlements Tour before departing.

With glorious lawned and woodland areas to explore, strutting peacocks to catch the eye and every opportunity to curl up in a window seat and treat it as a medieval book nook, your mum or partner can be made to feel like a Queen for the day, at any time of year.

Of course, if it’s you who would want to put an authentic castle stay on your bucket list, or sleep in a four-poster bed, like a fairy-tale princess, you can always book your own stay.
