Staying at a castle next to a river near the Fisherman’s Cott.
United KingdomThe castle is a magical place steeped in history and in a beautiful tranquil setting. The room was very comfortable and immaculately clean. It was lovely being able to use a large sitting room and to be able to walk in the gardens. Breakfast was very good.
United KingdomAbsolutely superb stay, superb staff. We were welcomed like family.. We had the bridal suite for our anniversary.. We will return and recommend this gorgeous truly historic place to everyone we know..
United KingdomFantastic. I have been before 8 years ago. This time I took my friends. The Castle Tour was fabulous. The Gounds were beautiful. Breakfast was cooked beautifully. Plenty of fresh fruit, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, yoghurts, croissants, and much more. Lovely staff, nothing too much trouble. Comfy lounge to sit in in the evening after visiting the local pub about 5 minutes away. Beds were really comfy and cosy.
United KingdomLocation was picturesque and quiet. Room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfasts were good. A tour of the castle was available and proved to be very interesting.
United KingdomThe breakfast included was lovely, the cooked food looked amazing, the scenery was great, the hosts could not do enough for you, and the tour around the castle was informative. lookout for the painting with musket ball holes and the old church building,
United KingdomContinental Breakfast was given as a bonus and was excellent. The extra tour of the castle another bonus. The grounds were well kept and we were allowed to park in the main forecourt as the hotel was not full.
United KingdomAbsolutely gorgeous castle. Steeped in history. The kind of place it's a privilege to stay in because you will probably never actually own anything like it.
New ZealandWhat could be better than a night in a castle? Our room was in a small cottage attached to the main castle building. The gardens and surroundings are amazing!
United KingdomLots of history in the buildings and a great tour guide / owner to show us around

One of Devon's most beautiful wedding venues and bed and breakfast breaks, this 14th century castle nestles in a valley surrounded by 30 acres of lush green land.
The River Exe runs through the estate, offering you the chance to fish or just sit and listen as the river makes its way back to the sea. This is an opportunity not only to be close to nature, but to almost touch history: the chapel was built only 30 years after the Normans landed in Britain in the 11th century and stands intact today as probably the oldest 'living' building in Devon.
Bickleigh Castle offers bed and breakfast and wedding accommodation with 15 bedrooms, including twin, double and family rooms, available in our newly renovated thatched cottages situated around the castle courtyard. All of the bedrooms are tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
