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.
