STOP PRESS **Le Tour de France Grand Depart 2014 is passing through our village on 6 July. Enquire now about our packages for that weekend**
Winner of the tv series ‘I own Britains Best Home’, Carr Hall castle is a stunning luxury castle with a contemporary interior, the perfect place to relax and unwind whether celebrating a special occasion with family and friends or spending a romantic weekend in secluded luxury.

Carr hall castle nestles amidst a private deer park in the yorkshire countryside, perfectly situated between halifax and huddersfield at the heart of west yorkshire. It’s half mile long driveway sweeps you towards this enchanting hidden gem which is truly spectacular.

Take in the history surrounding this beautiful castle which was commissioned in 1860 by local textile mill owners the shaw family who wanted to re-create their own castle, similar to those they had visited on their grand tours of europe in the 19th century.

Just over 2 hours from london by train, this gorgeous property is ideally located only 10 minutes from the m62 motorway, with a wealth of yorkshire attractions close by if you should ever feel the need to wander further than the 12 acres of beautiful grounds surrounding the castle.

Boasting 5 sumptuous double bedrooms, with a very grand but homely feel, carr hall castle can be booked for the exclusive use of up to 10 guests. If your planning a weekend or a week away with family, friends or even an intimate and romantic break, it really is something else.

Whether you fancy a cosy winter hideaway in front of the log fire, followed by a late night glass of champagne in the outdoor hot tub, or a summer break to enjoy al fresco barbeques on the terrace overlooking the beautiful lake, this really is a year round retreat.

The interior has the feel of a luxury boutique hotel and includes a fully equipped country kitchen with a pillar box red aga, a gorgeous paneled dining room to enjoy dinner parties and large lounge with panoramic window overlooking the heated indoor swimming pool. The relaxing conservatory overlooking the gardens is the perfect place to enjoy the sunday papers or watch squirrels and rabbits scurrying across the lawn.

Across the courtyard, you will find the watermill suite, incorporating the working water wheel which has been transformed into a grand suite, perfect for larger dinners and intimate ceremonies

The castle is hired on a self catering basis - you can have your online groceries and any necessities delivered in time for your arrival, or you can book the fabulous chef who will create a personalised menu for dinner. If you aren’t in the mood for cooking, a full menu can be designed for your entire stay. Restaurant quality gourmet foods can also be delivered to the castle for you.

Staff can be provided including housekeeper, butler, nanny, swimming instructor and academic tutor.

To make the most of your stay at the castle, you can choose from a range of onsite activities. For the ultimate relaxing stay, pre-book the beauty therapist to pamper you and your guests, or bring out the connoisseur in you with a wine tasting evening.
To really embrace the castle experience you can try your hand at archery with full instruction from ages 6 to 96! Horseriding, golf and tennis can also be enjoyed nearby.

If you can’t let go of technology completely, there is free wifi throughout, a playstation 3 and a choice of 6 plasma televisions with full satellite services. An ipad is also yours to use throughout your stay.

For those fortunate enough to stay for longer than a weekend, a tailor made itinerary can be designed for you to enjoy the best that Yorkshire has to offer by road, rail or air. You may prefer to self drive or take a private tour around the county.

Many of the castle’s guests get their first taste of yorkshire by staying there and whether you are escaping from London to the countryside or crossing the Atlantic you can ensure the level of service and standard of accommodation you will experience here is exceptional.

Carr hall castle has been graded as five star self catering accommodation and awarded a gold award by inspectors from quality in tourism in 2012.

Experience the luxury, you definitely won’t want to leave.

          Owner info

          Year Purchased: 2000

          About the owner: The owners of this fabulous home, Entrepreneurs Terry George and Michael Rothwell have spent over £1 million transforming their unique Castle since falling in love with it 10 years ago. They have cleverly exposed original stone and brickwork, brought many original features back to life and blended them with a wonderful contemporary interior of dark woods, deep colours and highly textured fabrics. The attached stable block was converted into a fantastic indoor swimming pool and gym and linked to the main building by an internal bridge.

          Why the Owner Chose Halifax:
          Driving through the deer park towards the Castle, we couldn't believe how magical it was and even before we saw the property we knew it had to be ours. We feel very lucky to have found such a unique home and still have to pinch ourselves 10 years on to believe it is ours.

          The Unique Benefits at this Castle:
          The Castle is unique in that it is situated in it's own little valley and is tucked away without feeling cut off from the world. The original features have been maintained and enhanced and we've blended them with contemporary furnishings and colours which remind us of some of the fantastic boutique hotels we've stayed in around the world. All our guests tell us how homely the place feels once they've stayed there, and the difficult part is having to say goodbye to the place at the end of their stay.
