Why Rent a Medieval Holiday Home?
If you are a bit of a history buff that loves historic holiday homes and the medieval period, renting a historic medieval retreat could be the perfect choice. Medieval properties are often quaint and cosy, with plenty old-world charm and historical Tudor ambience. Expect beautiful architectural features like exposed beams, oak doors, medieval arches, flagstone floors, characterful stone walls, timber cladding, and half-timbered wattle and daub buildings. Thatched roofs are a feature of some of these characterful holiday homes too.
Some of these properties have quite a sense of romance about them, with castle-like properties and a fairytale feel. The décor and ambience often harks back to a bygone time of Ye Olde England.
