Papillion - The only place I can think of for now is Thornbury Castle in Gloucestershire.

I'll be in Bath in a couple of days so I'll ask in the TIC if no-one else has any other suggestions.

Hope this helps ...

There really aren't many castles near Bath. Thornbury is great - but about 30 miles from Bath.

BTW - I recommend you re-post w/ a better title. "Castle accomodation" could be asking about England, Scotland, Germany, Ireland or just about anywhere w/ castles. You want some specific info so you will likely get better response with a better title.

Even if you don't re-post - this is useful info for your future posts . . . .
