You can stay in these fantastic British historical buildings for less than £40 per night

Many of the restored buildings were built during the 1700s and 1800s, and some even date back to as early as the 13th century. Today you can stay in these landmarks for the same price as or less than the average cost of a hotel room.

We have rounded up some of the best castle getaways and included the rental costs, which we have calculated per person per night (PPPN). The prices seem astonishingly reasonable for the amazing historical experience you're getting.

The Gothic Temple in Buckinghamshire was built and dedicated "to the Liberty of our Ancestors" by Lord Cobham in 1741.

With a triangular layout, it has one of the weirdest interiors of any of the properties. The place sleeps four for the equivalent of £33.63 ($50) PPPN.

The Banqueting House, near Newcastle, is an 18th-century Gothic folly that sits on the edge of the Gibside estate, one of England's most impressive country estates.

The uniquely shaped building sleeps four people for the equivalent of £17.88 ($26.70) PPPN.

Shute Gatehouse in Devon is one of the older properties on offer — it dates back to 1560 — and now sleeps five people.

The gatehouse has an authentic Jacobean ceiling on the inside to suit the ramparts on the outside, and you can stay for just £13.55 ($20.23) PPPN.

Fort Clonque is a striking island fort build by Britain in the 1840s on Alderney, in the Channel Islands, for protection against France.

At high tide the fort is actually cut off from the rest of the island because the entry road floods. Fort Clonque is one of the bigger properties, with room for 13 people at £13.23 ($19.75) PPPN.

Auchinleck House, which was built in the 18th century for Scottish aristocrats, once hosted Dr. Samuel Johnson when he was touring the area.

The house has room for 13 people and runs to £12.79 ($19.10) PPPN in Ayrshire.

Bath Tower in Caernarfon, northwest Wales, is actually part of the city's medieval wall and dates all the way back to the 13th century.

It has got space for five people to stay for £12.90 ($19.26) PPPN and has amazing views across both the town and the sea.

Cawood Castle in North Yorkshire is one of the most visually striking buildings on Landmark Trust's list — it's also where Cardinal Wolsey was arrested to face charges of treason in 1530.

Four people can stay at the property for the equivalent of £13.94 ($20.81) PPPN.

The four-storey Clavell Tower is probably the most distinctive property in Landmark Trust's books, and it sits on the Dorset coast.

The 1830s tower sleeps just two people and costs a little more at £53.50 ($79.88) PPPN, but the views across the bay look pretty amazing.

Freston Tower, a six-storey Tudor folly in Suffolk, is another incredibly eccentric English building, built in the late 1570s.

There's room for just four people, despite the height of the structure, and it runs to £44.56 ($66.53) PPPN.

Luttrell's tower in Eaglehurst, Southampton, was built for an Earl around 1780 and has its own private beach.

It has enough room for four people to stay, sits right on the edge of the New Forest, and costs £40.13 ($59.91) PPPN.

Kingswear Castle in Devon is the most "Game of Thrones"-looking of the properties, and it was built to defend a harbour at the turn of the 16th century.

On the inside, the roof terrace has views across to Dartmouth and over the river, and it's going for £35.50 ($52.78) PPPN.

Saddell Castle, on the Kintyre Peninsula of Scotland, is an outpost on a pretty secluded beach that was built in the early 16th century.

It runs to just £14.53 ($21.61) PPPN for eight people, and Landmark Trust owns the whole of the bay for visitors to explore.

Sir Edward Aston built Tixall Gatehouse when he was Sheriff of Staffordshire toward the end of the 16th century.

The Gatehouse has room for six people, can be rented for the equivalent of £18 ($26.59) PPPN, and has a pretty impressive roof terrace.

The last property is cheating a little — it's called Villa Dei Vescovi, the 16th century retreat of the Bishops of Padua, in Italy.

It's split into two rentable properties now, each of which sleeps four people, and is rentable for £38.81 (57.34) PPPN.
