Bickleigh Castle

Dieser Ort hat fernab vom Rummel der Stadt einen ganz eigenen Zauber und lässt einen sofort entspannen. Die Besitzerin ist einfach zauberhaft und sehr bemüht, ihre Gäste in Komfort zu bringen. Sie ist eine sehr freundliche Person und ist ganz offensichtlich die gute Seele des Hauses, die mit viel liebe zum Detail die Zimmer, das Haus und den Garten liebevoll gestaltet.

Booked room with private bathroom, but was in the hallway although I don’t think there was anyone in the other room, place is tired and lacking investment, shame as it has great potential

I absolutely LOVED my stay at Bickleigh Castle. Last week, management changed over to Peggy and her partner, but Peggy has been leasing garden space and making improvements for some time now. Based on recent reviews, I'll list everything they've worked on here. They've made stellar improvements to the garden and dining room. The continental breakfast was extremely fresh, the live plants in the dining room greatly improved the ambiance, the linens were crisp and clean, and service was warm and homely. The garden has tons of apple trees, vegetables (I spotted giant tomatoes), a pond with pretty fish, archways and seating, chickens (that they use the fresh eggs for during breakfast upon request), and warm lighting. Peggy also has bees down the road a bit and the honey is also used during breakfast (it's delicious!). In my room, the linens looked brand new, there were no bugs, and it was nicely stocked with shampoo/body wash, waters, tea, and biscuits. The TV did indeed work as well. I also want to give a huge shout out to Peggy for her hospitality. When she learned yesterday was my birthday, she surprised me with a personalized card and a chocolate treat at breakfast. She was also a pleasure to chat with during my entire stay, and really made me feel cared for during my first international trip. They need more business to be able to continue with improvements, so please book a tea and tour or a vacation here. They truly care about this place and deserve a chance.

A different experience, room in Thatched Cottage rather than Castle itself, we were only guests staying, so very quiet and peaceful location, just continental breakfast with limited range other than several fruits. A memorable experience but not a luxury experience befitting luxury price.

Let’s get it straight, this is not 4 star, in fact it’s not a hotel, a b&b at best, I booked a superior room with private bathroom, it was only private because no one else was staying in the neighbouring room (yes it was in the hallway) In the 2 nights I stayed, I never received a key for the room Breakfast is not until 8:30, and I’m told it’s just toast and cereal It has massive potential, but needs massive investment to get it there. Would be a great episode of the Hotel Inspector!!
