Bickleigh Castle Hotel

Lovely little castle in a beautiful setting. Great service from John and dropped everything to help me with an issue I had (shower not heating up) loved my stay here was very relaxed. And no light polllution at night so a great view of the stars. Only downsides for me was no Wi-fi in the room- (there was Wi-fi available in a communal area). Also the shower needs a real up date. Very poor quality shower head. Other than that was a fantastic stay. Loved the fresh fruit of blueberries and raspberries for breakfast.

Lovely hotel, with owners passionate to preserve the history of the castle. Cannot fault setting or scenery. The rooms are large and the decor is a little dated but you are staying in a historic site so it all feels inkeeping. A nice breakfast is also included and we found the rooms to be immaculately clean. Our only issue for the entire stay was the double bed and pillows in our room were extremely uncomfortable which is a real shame as otherwise everything about our stay was positive. We really hope this venue continues to thrive and protect this little piece of local history. Would recommend as a base to explore the surrounding areas.

Phenomenal real British 900 year old property in stunning landscape and gardens.

Room was very small. dogs barking in the evening Breakfast 08.30 to late for business people. no evening meal so bring your own.

Lovely place to spend a weekend away. Really enjoyed the guided tour of the castle - lots and lots of history! Friendly staff that made you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend

The friendly welcome and breakfast is why we return again again

It was amazing I think that some it all up

I stayed here with a colleague for 2 nights, I booked it and I absolutely loved it! He, on the other hand rated it a 6/10 but this was due to the lack of a bar or restaurant. That didn’t bother me so I’d give it a 9/10. Robbie and John were absolutely lovely, we arrived quite late the first night and was met by Robbie (the owner) who gave us our key and all the relevant information, he pointed us toward the nearest pub so we could get some food, it was less than a mile away but we drove as the weather was miserable. We stayed in the purpose built cottages which are all en-suite. However, we had read the review about there not being a toilet, it turned out this is only if you stay in the castle itself and you have to pay extra for that. I think it’s only one room up there too so it’s not like you’re milling about on the landing with other guests - it’s pretty private. Breakfast is served typically between 8:30 - 9:30 but they allowed us to go down for 7:30 due to us working and leaving early. John also very kindly gave us a tour of the castle which took an hour and was nice to hear the history and see the original stoneworks. In the summer, this would be an amazing place to stay and investigate the grounds, in the snow, it was still wonderful (and warm) and I’d definitely stay here again!

Was great will be making it my regular hotel when I’m working in the south west 5 stars

Beautiful old buildings. Owners who are happy to share the history of the property and were friendly.
