All rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard with tea and coffee making facilities and TV, free guest wifi. Please note that continental breakfast is included; extra for cooked options.
The Castle has ample parking and extensive grounds; it makes a great base for 'outdoorsy' holidays. .

Our Superior Twin rooms have tea & coffee making facilities, TVs and wifi. These rooms have private facilities. These rooms have 2 full size double beds and are priced the same as for a 'normal' superior room. These are Rooms 15 (ground floor) and 16 (first floor) in Grade 2 listed Moat Cottage. Room 15 has an adjacent private shower room, while room 16 has an en suiite bathroom with a bath.
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.
