Royal Estate Turns Historic Water Tower into Couples Retreat
Key takeaways
- Sandringham Estate offers a Victorian water tower as a couples retreat
- The water tower was built in 1877 by James Mansergh
- Stays at the water tower start from £151 per night
A Victorian water tower at Sandringham Estate, King Charles III's private country retreat in Norfolk, England, has been transformed into a boutique accommodation for couples. Originally built in 1877 by James Mansergh, the neo-Byzantine style structure once housed a 32,000-gallon cast-iron tank that supplied water to the main house and estate. The tower now offers a rooftop terrace, with stays starting from £151 (€177) per night. The interior is kept neutral to highlight the building's unique character, featuring historic pictures and photographs of the estate and the British Royal Family. Other accommodation options at Sandringham include Gardens House and The Folly.
