The space
Located in the beautiful Devon countryside with a fine stretch of the River Exe running through the grounds, Bickleigh Castle is the perfect retreat for all seasons.
If you are looking for a peaceful, restful or romantic break, you have come to the right place. You can have a self-catering weekend.
The picturesque location has inspired many a writer, poet, artist and historian and it really does take you away from everything.
With acres of gardens and grounds to roam, a 'secret garden' with an orchard and pond, a moat plus a beautiful chapel and Castle, there is plenty of space for you to explore. We also have an excellent hard Tennis Court, and plenty of space for an informal game of cricket or football. For a relaxing end to the day, why not jump into our Hot Tub and relax with the bird song and wildlife all around?
We are very conveniently located just 20 minutes from Exeter and Crediton and only 10 minutes from Tiverton. We are easily reached from Tiverton Parkway and Exeter St Davids Railway Stations.
"Some came to soak up the grandeur and exclusivity of Bickleigh Castle, and others for its warmth and intimacy. Whatever the reason, each guest is guaranteed the most perfect stay "
Guest access
All guest areas can be accessed, including the gardens, grounds and recreational facilities and the various Reception rooms in the Castle and other areas. There are, however, a few private areas which may not be used, specifically the office, the 17th Century family wing and a small garden, but these are only a fraction of the whole.
Guests booking through Airbnb will have exclusive use of the estate with the exception of the private areas; the estate will not be open to the public during a private exclusive use booking.
There is a very large amount of free parking, and, by arrangement, some garage space can be made available for special vehicles such as Classics.
