Work from a castle: Leeds Castle launches

Leeds Castle, one of Britain's most recognisable historic buildings, has launched a new "workation" offering, inviting guests to trade their usual desk for a working day set against 550 acres of Kent parkland.

Located in Kent's County Town of Maidstone, around an hour from central London, the 900-year-old castle is offering a productive escape for remote and hybrid workers. The offer includes reliable Wi-Fi, ample power outlets, complimentary tea and coffee, and a dedicated desk space, alongside the estate's gardens, moat and grounds.

Guests can start the day with breakfast in the oak-beamed Castle View Restaurant before settling in to work with views over the castle's parkland and moat. Lunch can be taken in the Culpeper Garden, and the working day can wrap with a sunset walk around the grounds in place of the usual commute.

In the evenings, guests can explore the castle during quieter visiting hours and return to the Castle View Restaurant for dinner, with views across the terrace to the illuminated castle.

Can guests stay the night?
