Former Castle Hotels in Cronton

A 16th-century castle hotel situated near the Leasowe Golf Club.

The castle was initially built in 1851 when the head of the Tollemache family decided to build a fortified home reminiscent of a medieval castle. During World War II, the castle was used as a refuge for disabled children that had been evacuated. In 1952, the castle was granted Grade I-listed status for its historic importance and by the 1980s it was used as a place for live-action fantasy games and later on as a venue for business conferences and weddings. In 2006 its current owners purchased the castle to turn it into the majestic hotel that it is today.

This castle dates back to the 15th century and today it has been turned into a Bed and Breakfast, aiming to offer heartfelt hospitality while maintaining the atmosphere of a medieval castle.
