Thoroughly enjoyable visit today. Lots of mud but the rain held off. Kids loved the play area and the rope swings dotted around the lake walk. Maze was challenging and kids and adults loved it! Castle was great to see and the mouse spotting activity kept the kids engaged. Cafe isn't the best- they could do a lot more with it and make it more value for money too. Overall, a fantastic day and not too expensive to get in.

What a brilliant day out. We went as a fanily with two small children and our dog. Was such a great day. So much to do and see. Well set up for kids and amazingly dog friendly. Reasonably priced too. Will definitely return!

Wonderful castle in a beautiful setting with glorious park land and lake. Close to the stunning Malvern Hills and Ledbury. The Castle is a family home and very well maintained. It’s not ancient hence the level of preservation but it ticks all the boxes of a fantasy and romantic view of an English castle. The interior has a good selection of incredibly furnished rooms and the level of decor and ornamentation is staggering. The amount of rooms you see is more than enough to feel you have had good value for money. Lots see, read and staff on hand to help and answer questions. Outside there is the exterior to marvel at and walk around the lake with great photos to be had. The parkland with gorgeous trees, birds and plants offer further experiences and pleasant walks to enjoy whether alone or with families. The small cafe and outside area is a great pit stop for a snack. They also have ice cream outside. There is a maze for kids and picnics are encouraged. It is close to a SUV activity centre too. The shop at the entrance has quality souvenirs. Great value for money for a day out. Even with the park only ticket. Spent a very nice day here and will be back.

We really enjoyed visiting the castle and doing the surrounding walks through the arboretum and wildflower meadows. The grounds are beautiful. We also loved how dog friendly this place is- it was a real novelty being able to take our dog into the castle itself and meant that my partner and I could look around it together. The only negative was that the cafe wasn’t great- no jacket potatoes and the bread on the sandwiches was quite stale- perhaps just caught them on an ‘off’ day!

If you visit once you can convert your ticket into an annual pass. With this you can visit all year. A great day out for all the family with fantastic play areas, walks, swings and cafes. The castle itself self is a good place too. We go twice a month and love it. Look out for their events as well! These tend to be great for children. Go, you won’t be disappointed!

The whole day was wonderful. We have two well behaved jack russells and we visited because Eastnor Castle is dog friendly. In all the time we have had the dogs (15 years) we feel unwelcome at so many places and are certainly not allowed into interesting properties. Eastnor Castle truly welcomes you from start to finish, the house is a warm and friendly house, one can imagine actually living there. It was so nice to be inside the house, allowed to walk round and absorb the history. Tea room is lovely and the grounds are beautiful and planned very much for the visitor, a long walk is available with many seating points to sit and ponder and relax and friendly staff in the grounds and house, to talk to. A lovely day built around the visitor and making their visit a good one.

What an amazing place. Steeped in history, but a family home, which makes it unique. The guides were very informative, and friendly. The best thing was our dog was allowed into the castle, everywhere we went he went. Thank you for doing that, would not have visited the castle. Will return again on a day that hopefully is not raining. Well worth a visit and value for money. If you like history you will love the castle.

Thoroughly enjoyable and interesting visit to this property. However the paper/ wooden / cups and cutlery and polystyrene food containers in the cafe very disappointing. When I asked why crockery was not used I was told it was " easier for the Staff!" We were going to have lunch here but decided against it for the above reason.

Dog friendly outside and, amazingly, inside the Castle. Astoundingly rich and varied interior covering various centuries even though the structure had been built about 1830 as a replica of a medieval castle. The staff were ever so knowledgeable and welcoming...it was too wet to explore the gardens but the Castle was undoubtedly the best stately home like experience I ve been to in 50 years of adult life. Well organised and administered with web based ticketing as well as on arrival and free to Historic Houses members. Reasonably priced as well. Has a cafe with home made soups , also dog friendly (the cafe!), and snacks.

A super experience. Very friendly volunteers who were knowledgeable and engaging who were clearly happy to be there. Plenty of interesting things to see and a useful video for upstairs. A very good day out and highlight for the area. The welcome from the military performance people at the entrance was a great introduction to the visit
