WE STAYED IN A MAGICAL TOWER IN YORKSHIRE: FULL TOUR!
WE STAYED IN A MAGICAL TOWER IN YORKSHIRE - FULL TOUR!// Happy Tuesday everyone, In today's video we're sharing our long weekend in Richmond, North Yorkshire! We spent 3 nights in England's most romantic folly: Culloden Tower! This folly belongs to the Landmark Trust and is the perfect couple getaway! It spreads over 4 floors with an amazing sitting room and bedroom with a both gothic and classical style. The octagonal ceilings with their plasterwork and carvings are real works of art and it feels truly special to be there. The view from the big windows towards Richmond Castle is absolutely amazing. While our time at Culloden Tower, we also got a bit of snow which made it feel even more special during the festive season. We give you an entire tour of the folly and hope you will enjoy this special accommodation. Kirsten & Joerg xx

Wow, those two upper rooms are stunning, and I love that one is more Classical and the other more Gothic. You also captured the architectural features on camera so beautifully, I feel like I've been there. Definitely one of the loveliest placed you've shown us.
Goodness! What an absolutely stunning building. I can't even imagine how it feels to stay there. The kitchen was my favourite room I think but that sitting room really is beautiful. I loved the look of the Jane Austen game too, and that you took your little Christmas tree and pyramid with you to make it extra cosy. Thank you.
I absolutely loved this stunning and magical Folly Tower 🏰. It looks like a castle 🏰. It’s so dreamy and romantic ❤. Thank you so much for taking us on your magnificent adventures 💕
I love the excellent exposed wooden beams in the kitchen/dining room, The beautiful old wooden table is so cozy. When I first saw the last two rooms my immediate reaction was, OMG it looks very Jane Austin! Your card game was a very well-chosen one! Miss Austin would approve. 🥰
What a wonderful magical place....like in a fairy tale... . It perfectly fits the landscape...Could imagine the quietness and the atmosphere of the monument... . Thanks a lot for sharing your time and views there.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GORGEOUS FOLLEY!!! WHAT A DREAM!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Das ist ja eine außergewöhnliche Unterkunft 😊. Da kann man echt nur Staunen, was sich in dem Turm verbirgt. Aber man muss sicher gut einheizen , die Mauern sind doch sicher kühl 🙄. Aber ihr habt euch dort eine schöne Zeit gemacht 👍🏻 Liebe Grüße aus Köln von Regina und Jörg ❄️☃️

Incroyable endroit ! I particularly loved the "wedgwood room" but the main bedroom is also so beautiful ! And the vew is a real painting ! Thanks Kirsten and Jörg 🇨🇭💞
I don't think I would like those stairs if I needed to visit the bathroom in the middle of the night, but what a stunning place and location.
Oh loves...it certainly was not a folly to stay in this folly. How magnificent. Formal, cozy, a true adventure. You not only needed tea in the sitting room but Joerg needed a pipe!! We do.have to get back to England...there is so very, very much to enjoy.
That opening, with the way Joerg did the filming of you looking out the window, brilliant 👏 excellent! Oh my gosh, that sitting room, speechless! It does look like Wedgwood! The bedroom is gorgeous, then you said " roof terrace "! A tower fit for Princess Kirsten and Prince Joerg! I am very much a fan of architecture so this was a delightful treat!

You're not kidding when you say dream sitting room! I honestly would think I died and went to heaven with that gorgeous molding. I'm so glad the National Trust preserves these properties, and they are available for getaways. I appreciate the work they do, and I wonder how many places would have been lost or in poor condition without them. The Folly is like your own personal faery castle. Bringing your Christmas decorations was a nice touch, it added a nice bit of personalization!

So glad you like it! This is owned by the Landmark Trust which is a different organisation than the NT. The Landmark Trust focusses on restoring buildings and makes them available for holidays but the NT is a membership organisation for heritage conservation and places you can visit. The do have holiday accommodation as well.
