We visited Sudeley Castle recently and can only describe our experience as a huge disappointment. We'd prepared ourselves for a good day out and must've spent barely an hour there. As we entered the castles drive we were genuinely confused as to whether we were entering a historical castle or a working farm. The staff weren't at all welcoming and... more

Agree with some of the other reviewers that £7.20 is far too much to charge for a tour that could be accomplished in 1/2 an hour if you got a move on! The church is pretty and the gardens are nice - and personally I have no problem with the modern art exhibits, especially the Zaha Hadid which is stunning... more

Visited the 'castle' with my husband on a day out, we live locally so thought it was about time we got around to visiting Sudeley. The experience we had was disappointing in relation to the cost of the entrance fee (as other reviewers have mentioned). While the grounds are beautiful they are somewhat marred by the very out of place... more

We went on a Sunday which was billed as a Charity Fun Day and they were charging a special price of £11 per adult which included the Fun Day Activities. Normal price is £7.20 and you could pay that if you didn't want to go to the extra activities. We were given a leaflet which had a map with numbered... more

We went to Sudeley on a day trip from the Broadway area and took the 15 GBP special tour of the house and family apartments. It was a rainy day, so we did not spend too much time looking around the gardens, which were nice but smaller than I'd expected. We saw a peacock but the birds in the pheasantry... more

What a lovely place. We visited in March 2008 and were very luck with the weather. The Castle is beautiful and made more so by the backdrop of of some lovely Cotswolds scenary. However, the gardens were the highlight for us as they managed to fit many interesting styles around the property. A perfect way to spend your afternoon if... more

I agree totally with the review by helenmsutton. There isn't enough here to justify the £7.20 admission rate. On entry you receive a badly photocopied hand drawn map and that is the only information that's provided. You even have to walk across a lawn to follow the route around the gardens. Whilst there are so many other great attractions in... more

Beautiful gardens and impressive ruins. Catherine Parr, HenryVIII's last wife, lived here. Her tomb is in the lovely chapel. The home has several very interesting exhibits. This was an unplanned side trip, and I'm so very glad we went. Even my husband was impressed. This is one of the castles included in the Great Britain Heritage Pass. . more

We recently travelled to Sudeley Castle for a day out. (Mum, Dad, 8 year old and 7 month old, grandma and grandad) Sudeley Castle and Grounds (it was advertised as). My grandaughter was very interested as she was doing Henry VIII at school and longed to see how they lived in those days. What we we offered for our entrance... more
