All rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard with tea and coffee making facilities and TV, free guest wifi.

The Castle has ample parking and extensive grounds; it makes a great base for 'outdoorsy' holidays. .

Our large Family rooms have accommodation for 2 Adults and up to 2 children, though it is usually possible to add a cot for no extra charge. The room may be booked for using as a large double (for 2) if necessary. Please note that these rooms are not for 4 adults. 'Children' means any child up to and including 15 years of age. Rooms 2 and 10 are on the ground floor and have shower rooms en suite - 10 has the larger of the two; Room 3 is on the first floor and has a bathroom en suite.
During your stay
From the Norman Period until just after World War 1, the Castle belonged successively to the de Redvers, Courtenay and Carew families, these families being linked by marriage or other relationship. Since 1924 the Castle has had several owners, the current having owned the Estate since 2003. Although initially hosting Weddings only, the Castle now hosts, additionally, B&B., House Parties, Conferences and a variety of other special events upon request.
Bickleigh Castle is a unique venue in a beautiful setting. Our present owners are classic car 'buffs' so any visits by classic car clubs are especially welcome. We run with a small, friendly staff, amongst whom we have Marie our Wedding Coordinator, John (Curator) who administers non-wedding events including Castle Tours and B&B, and Barbara, Monika and her team who look after the accommodation and breakfasts, and (other) Monika, Peter and Dave who do a great job looking after the gardens.
As a family-run venue, we are family friendly and welcome children of all ages.
