A 15th-century castle is offering guests the chance to step back 600 years with one of Norfolk's most unique stays.

Built by English Nobelman Thomas Scales, Middleton Castle near King's Lynn allows guests to stay in its 15 bedrooms.

With a setting similar to that of Downton Abbey, the castle gives its 30 guests the chance to feel like a lord or lady of the manor.

A billiards room, a summer house and a croquet lawn are all available to explore, giving guests a true sense of the past.

For much of its 600 years of history, the property remained cut off from visitors being the home to various noble families. 

The castle can be booked for holidays, weddings or corporate events with prices ranging from £3,900 to £5,000 per night.
