Beautiful castle and grounds in an idyllic setting. The contents are a treasure trove. The guides really bring the history of the castle and its owners to life.

Had friends visiting from abroad and had hoped to see the castle in the morning and then go on elsewhere. Because the house doesn't open to the public until 1:00 we booked on one of the morning house tours. Although we heard a history of the Croft family and their comings and goings at the house we saw very, very... More

What a surprise this place was. It is situated in a lovely area and the house is very worth while visiting not to mention the grounds and small church. The cafe serves wonderful food in a pleasant environment. We will return next time we are in the area.

My husband and I took our two and a half year old to Croft Castle recently and it was a lovely day. We listened to a tak about the history of the family, we walked around the walled garden finding hidden dragons eggs and we ate in the beautiful tea room. The food was very good and all the staff...

Great place to visit. National Trust owned so the usual friendly staff and good clean facilities. As other people have said its more like a stately home than a castle but never the less an impressive looking building and in a great location. NT describe it as a Castellated Manor House, which is pretty much spot on. We didn't take... More

Croft Castle is one of those National Trust treasures that knows how to accommodate all visitors with a family friendly atmosphere. Great walks to Croft Ambrey and Fishpool Valley for the most intrepid of adventurers! Interesting Jacobean castle with plenty of spooky tales and things to do to keep the whole family entertained. Lovely walled garden with vineyard and orchard.... More

We visited on a lovely sunny day and the grounds and walled gardens were at their best. The Castle is more like a stately home than a Castle but it is full of history and there is a Church on site also. Weather permitting you can picnic in the grounds or walk the park. The staff are very pleasant and... More

I don't know if we visited on a good day but we thoroughly enjoyed it. We arrived and were met with a smile and a friendly banter which put us in the right mood for our visit. We were told if we rushed we would catch the history of the house and family talk which was so good I would... More

A great place for a relaxed day out. The castle is great, especially the tour guides, and the walks are enjoyable. There is a superb tea shop on site run by very helpful and professional staff. I recommend the lattes.
