Absolutely stunning place to visit. I’ve been 5 times now for different events including seasonal markets, outdoor theatre and afternoon tea. The gardens are so beautifully maintained and you can often see deer in the park. The castle itself is quite large and there is a lot to see inside. Staff are always super friendly and go above and beyond to help.

Stunning place to visit. Beautiful entrance gardens with a fantastic restaurant/cafe with heaps of choice of freshly prepared high quality meals/snacks/cakes etc. The restaurant can be visitors without having to pay to enter the grounds/castle. Lovely shop with some great items/produce on sale. Lots of history all around. Castle deer park grounds extensive offering short or longer walks. A great large walled garden also. Castle itself has lots to see and learn. A stunning building. Plenty of parking even on a busy day. All staff encountered were helpful and friendly. Would definitely return and highly recommend!

Park, Castle and plotters forest were all beautiful. My little girl absolutely loved seeing Santa and playing in the gardens and play area which were all decorated for Christmas. A walk in the deer park was also magical. A lovely day out

We have travelled this area many times over the years but only found out about this hidden gem from a TV program by Robson Green. We really enjoyed our visit. We went around the castle as well as walked all around the grounds and parkland. We had tea and cake in the cafe. It was pricey but well worth it. All the food and sweet treats looked delicious. They have spent money on the gardens, cafe, shop and toilets. Money very well spent. The shop had quality items not the usual tat that these shops often sell. I would definitely recommend a visit here. There is also what looked like a fantastic play area, placed slightly away from the castle. It looked very popular with families with children. It's probably worth further investigation if you have children.

Lovely medieval Castle with lots of history and beautiful rooms to explore. It has a big deer park to walk, and the deer seem fairly used to people, so you can get a good look at them. The park is dog friendly as long as they are kept on leads. The gardens are nice and well kept, with a maze to go round. Cafe is newly built, I did think it was a little expensive. Plenty of parking.
