Loyd & Townsend Rose Castles

Fantastic experience: It was really a pleasure organizing our summer trip to Scotland with Andrew at LTR. Since the beginning of planning or trip and during the trip , Andrew was always a step ahead, hospitable, available and proactive. Also trying to cater to all our requests, until the end, makes all the difference. Even your last minute recommendations are quick and worth it, such as lunch at Kildrummey Inn for lunch was a delight. We will definitely recommend friends & family to work with you!

Fantastic experience: Andrew and his team were absolutely incredible to work with! Can't recommend them highly enough! Everything was executed flawlessly!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional supplier with high attention to detail and customer service. Incredibly responsive during trip planning. Andrew was top knotch and I hope to work with him again on future bookings.

Fantastic experience: Our crew had a fabulous time with Andrew in England! His expertise helped make our trip abroad unforgettable.

Fantastic experience: Our recent visit to England together with some old and some new friends was made stress-free and truly unforgettable thanks to Andrew Lloyd and his very specific planning skills. Everything was thoughtfully curated and arranged for our group from beginning to end. We visited both public and private gardens and, in many cases, received personal tours by the owners, hearing their personal thoughts on the many aspects of planning, developing and maintaining their gardens. A visit to a private vineyard was somehow made possible for our small group allowing us to enjoy, in their state-of-the-art and architecturally significant buildings, some fine local wines and learn about their groundbreaking wine making technology. Our days and nights were filled with gourmet meals, entertainment and of course a few cocktails. Nothing was missed, including some downtime to rest as well as time for those with other interests to do their own thing. This is a great way to travel, give Andrew some information about your dream vacation and destination and let him and his team do the rest. With many thanks, Patti and Scott Schwartz

Fantastic experience: Many vacations are exausting. Where to eat/reservations, what are the important sights, let alone hearding a crowd(may as well be cats). Being inquisitive can ware you out. Then there is Andrew with Loyd and Townsend Rose Castles. Andrew has now led us(by the hand if needed) on four excersions. Arranging the details for relaxing in ancient European country houses. Some might think oh, dark, dank, worn out old castles. They do exist but this isn't what Andrew specializes in. These homes have been completely resurfaced. From moderen HVAC, plumbing and lighting to sumptuos furnishings and art. Don't get me started on the gardens. Oh my. Beautiful! From dining to recreation Andrew is always a step ahead making sure all is ready for our arrival. Transportation to must see locations, Andrew knows who to call. We sit back with a cocktail knowing there is no need to worry about "what's next" The arrangemants have been made. Just relax. It's hard to imagine a getaway without him. Completely spoiled is what we are. Here's to Andrew. We will meet again. Cheers Hal and Mimi Richards Rome Ga

Fantastic experience: What is so admirable about Townsend Rose is the impeccable and meticulous ATTENTION TO DETAIL, so that every last bit of a visit has been thoroughly explored and sorted out. Our trip to Boxted Hall was flawless, yet again! The focus on quality of content and execution, extraordinary, and b the reason we so love their handling not just the details of a rental, but all that goes with it when committed, and the, of course, on site. Thank you so so much for such superb service and judgment! Michael Baldwin

Fantastic experience: Andrew is a master of his craft and the number one expert on all things Castles North of The Border and on The Emerald Isle. Can not recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: My wife & I have been customers of Loyd & Townsend Rose for many years. They always exceed our expectations. Andrew & his team have spectacular properties, insightful recommendations for local experiences, & they are a FULL-Service provider helping us with transportation, private chefs, & wonderful experiences unique to the area. We travel extensively & have not run across anyone better than Loyd & Townsend Rose Castles! THE BEST!!

Fantastic experience: Andrew Loyd and his crew provided a perfect holiday in a Scottish castle for my husband and me to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary with our entire three-generation family of 26 people. From my first query everything was handled with speed, efficiency, professionalism and good humor. Everyone had an experience of a lifetime, and I can't recommend the services of Lloyd & Townsend Rose enough.

Fantastic experience: 100% perfection. Loyd & Townsend had every part of our trip throughout Scotland covered. The sightseeing and food choices were amazing, and the guides were terrific. They will plan our next Scotland adventure.

Fantastic experience: It can't be stated enough how fantastic Loyd & Townsend are in providing memorable vacations. We recently completed a 20-day Ireland & United Kingdom travel extravaganza topped by a five day milestone birthday stay in a luxury Scottish castle. Our adviser (Andrew) supported us at every stage, from castle selection to planning to on-the-fly travel assistance and even through the contingencies of COVID while in a foreign country. I can't sing their praises enough; these memories will last a lifetime. If you're considering a castle for an event, I strongly recommend you engage Loyd & Townsend immediately. On any trip the details of planning and booking can quickly become overwhelming. Instead, your focus should be on eking every last experience out of your scarce days on vacation, not dealing with the minutiae that Loyd & Townsend can handle with efficiency and zeal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Fantastic experience: Every minute of our trip was meticulously planned and we had such a great time! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: We have worked extensively with Loyd & Townsend Rose. They have the best castles and private homes, and they provide wonderful guides and all the other ground services one needs. Great attention to detail, very creative, and so efficient. Lisa

Fantastic experience: We love working with the team at LTR. Their wonderful guests are a pleasure to have to stay and their dedicated conscientious service ensures a superb level of service.

Fantastic experience: A delight working with LTC who, in very demanding and tricky circumstances pulled the proverbial rabbit out of a hat and found me the most beautiful property outside Belfast along with perfect staff and superb concierge services - in spite of a massive snowstorm the night before arrival.

Fantastic experience: Andrew and his team planned a wonderful trip to London and several locations in Scotland for our family. The accommodations, activities, and restaurants he suggested were top-notch. Some of the properties where we stayed were remote and unique; I doubt we would have discovered them with our own research and they were delightful! Andrew checked in with us regularly before the trip, ensuring that we had everything we needed, and we felt well cared for and looked after throughout our trip. I do not hesitate to recommend him for a customized, bespoke vacation in the UK!

Fantastic experience: Our family had an amazing time thanks to Loyd & townsend Tose Castles! Every detail was handled. Highlights were Marcus & Rory on the Boat trip up Loch Ness, Knockando with Joerg Bondzio, An amazing Dinner at Michelin Star dinner Kitchin in Edinburgh, the whole Eriska team & setting for the wedding!! And of course our always early driver Stuart who took us through the East of Scotland!

Fantastic experience: Loyd & Townsend-Rose, Mr Andrew Loyd & Mr Jonathan Townsend-Rose. When you are looking for a Bespoke Tour Company to assist you in organising a Private Tour or having the opportunity to Rent Exclusive Use Private Stately Homes & Castles all over the UK & Europe, do not hesitate in contacting LTR, as they are synonymous with perfection, making 100% sure the finest detail of the clients requirements are met & surpassed.

Fantastic experience: Jonathan was very professional and accommodating regarding all aspects of our trip including working with us to reschedule due to a family emergency. The Castle we acquired for our stay was beautiful and a dream come true. Katie and Jonathan also assisted us with booking an on-site chef and activities in the area during our stay. We received First Class treatment and services for everything! We will definitely be using Loyd & Townsend when planning our next trip to the UK.

Fantastic experience: We have traveled all over the world and used various travel agents and Andrew and his team at Loyd & Townsend Rose are exceptionally good. They are so familiar with Scotland and were able to plan an unforgettable trip for our family that was uniquely tailored to our likes and dislikes. They even went so far as to make sure we had ground floor rooms for family members that have trouble with stairs, and checked every single restaurant they suggested to make sure there were vegan options for one of our family members who has allergies. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team and will definitely use them on our next trip to Scotland!
