    Breakfast was plentiful and good. The location was excellent. Being able to wander through the castle buildings reading the history was fantastic. Close to the pleasant town of Tiverton, yet still in the quiet countryside.

Company info

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.

Neighborhood info

Bickleigh Castle dates to Normal times and was altered in the 15th and 17th Centuries. The venue nestles in a valley with over 45 acres of lush green land stretching out around it. The River Exe runs through the land offering you the chance to fish or just sit and listen as the river makes its way back to the sea or indulge in some fun with inflatables and wild swimming.
