比克利城堡飯店

Went for the Castle and grounds tour followed by Tea and Scones. A perfect day out, a very interesting tour with some fascinating historic details. It was perfectly finished off with great company and fresh scones and tea. Highly recommended even if not staying at their beautiful accommodations.

The website says castle open for self guided tours on Thursdays. Not so! Doors all closed. Asked girl at tea shop if castle open . Didn’t know! She sent us to lady at reception who explained only one guided tour at 2.30 due to building collapse and had we booked. Grounds looking unkempt. Not currently fit for visitors. We hope the owners are able to get this lovely place back on its feet.

On first impression it was perfect the castle and it’s history was perfect But the tv didn’t work we didn’t have water the last day and night, apparently this happens as they have there own spring Breakfast was a disgrace only toast and cereal the last day they forgot we were there so it was a bit faulty towers It bed linen was imma vulgate but the bathroom very dusty and damp wallpaper peeling Very disappointed as we were looking for a big family event there

This was an absolutely fantastic afternoon at Bickleigh Castle. The tour started at 2.30 led by David who was well informed and easy to listen to. The Castle history is very interesting and it boasts one of the oldest chapels in the county. The tour was followed by a delicious enormous scone with jam and cream and a pot of tea. The owner Sarah was always around and greeted us like friends. She even sat with us and also enjoyed a scone. I would highly recommend a visit but It would need to be on a Thursday as that is tour day.

We visited on one of the Castle Open Days, arriving at 1230, planning a self-guide tour and tea afterwards. In fact we started off with a delicious cream tea followed by a wonderful tour of this fabulous castle. It is completely different from normal "commercial" venues in that it is much more rustic and genuine. A fantastic guide was on hand who was only too pleased to give us a wealth of interesting informaion. The chapel is gorgeous (Saxon) and it is all in a beautiful peaceful setting. Owner, Sarah, was a delight to talk to as we were leaving. We hugely enjoyed this Historic Houses property which is run with real love and enthusiasm.

Thank you to the owner, Sarah for a wonderful evening, sat in the grounds chatting a drinking. A much needed down time after a sad day! On arrival you will receive a warm and relaxed welcome by lovely staff. I would highly recommend a stay here and I’m sure we will return if in the area again. Thank you.
