Herefordshire, looks like a perfect example of a traditional castle from medieval times, but was actually built between 1812-24, when the wealthy 2nd Baron Somers commisioned architect Robert Smirke to plan him a home to reflect the personality and stature of its creator. Eastnor has been in almost continuous occupation by his descendants since 1818, the present owner James Hervey-Bathurst and his wife, Sarah, came to live in the Castle in 1988. Since then, all the State rooms as well as most of the other principal rooms have been restored and the interiors have regained much of their 19th century splendour. Have you ever wanted to stay overnight in a real castle? Eastnor has 11 guest bedrooms – four with four-poster beds – individually designed with great style by Sarah Hervey-Bathurst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
