The Bowling Green Apartment

Carisbrooke Castle
Sleeps 2 + 2 children's bunk beds + cot

 

This second floor apartment is in a prime position within the walls of this great castle. Until late Victorian times, the building housed the officers garrisoned at the Castle and from its windows there is a wonderful panorama sweeping over the main courtyard, the ancient ramparts, the gatehouse and the former home of Princess Beatrice. She was Queen Victoria’s youngest and favourite daughter who was once a Governor of the Isle of Wight.

The castle interior and the Carisbrooke Museum are also well wortha visit and donkeys, housed in the courtyard, give regular demonstrations of their centuries old role in working the tread wheel of the medieval well.

Bowling Green Apartment is on the second floor set into the walls of the Castle. The apartment has a large kitchen/diner/sitting room. There is a bathroom with shower over the bath.
A stay at Bowling Green Apartment is a window into history; revel in being king of the castle when all the other visitors have gone home. To sit and ponder the past from this special place is an awe inspiring experience.
