Accommodation

A unique element to Pennsylvania Castle is not only its dramatic location but its ability to accommodate large crews for film and photo shoots. With accommodation within Penn Castle, to holiday homes and chalets in Cove Park, there are a wide range of options, keeping cast and crew in one place.

The Grounds

The Castle grounds include several individually themed areas, each one offering a different setting for shoots. The manicured Italian Gardens and English Rose Garden offer a classic setting and enjoy the best of the evening sunshine, whereas beyond the Castle grounds a path passes the ruins of the ancient 12th-century church of St Andrews and descends to Church Ope Cove, a picturesque and sheltered beach – a totally different film location. Sat within the grounds and into the cliffs looking down on Church Ope Cove is the latest addition to the Estate and a remarkable location for shoots. Hewn into the rocks of the cliffs the five luxury lodges have been designed to complement the rugged environment, whilst maintaining a sleek and modern interior aesthetic.
