Leeds Castle, one of Britain’s most iconic historic buildings, is inviting guests to swap the four walls of their home or office for a unique workation experience. Reimagining the working day to include moments of leisure and tranquillity, guests can work overlooking the castle’s glorious parkland and moat, enjoy a peaceful lunch with a good book in the castle’s Culpeper Garden, and replace the evening commute with a rejuvenating sunset stroll around the estate’s 550-acre grounds.
As remote and hybrid working have evolved, so too have our expectations about where the working day can take place. Just an hour from central London near Kent’s County Town of Maidstone, the 900-year-old Leeds Castle offers the perfect balance of productivity and escapism. Alongside reliable Wi-Fi*, ample power outlets, complimentary tea and coffee, a comfortable desk and dedicated workspace, guests can enjoy the historical ambience, sweeping views and sense of tranquillity that inspires fresh thinking and sparks curiosity.
Lean further into that holiday vibe, and enjoy a pre-work breakfast and good coffee in the Castle View Restaurant, followed by a peaceful stroll back to your lodge or cottage as the grounds of Leeds Castle wake up. After the working day, unwind with a visit to the castle during quieter visiting hours. Dinner can be taken in the oak-beamed Castle View Restaurant with views across the terrace to the illuminated castle at night.
Stay overnight in one of Leeds Castle’s charming accommodation options, priced from £145 per night, including the characterful holiday cottages, Stable Courtyard bedrooms and the new Knights’ Retreat lodges, all without having to sacrifice a single day’s holiday allowance.
During their visit, guests can also explore the famous Maze and underground Grotto, enjoy Birds of Prey displays, and discover the estate’s gardens and grounds. Alternatively, guests can enjoy a picnic overlooking the castle, relax in the beach area, orexperience the world’s first historical AI avatar with the new Pilgrimage of Love: Eleanor of Castile exhibition.
