This will be lovely house visit when the renovations are completed. But, do visit now as the works in progress give a good insight in to the conservation work of the National Trust. There are plenty of walks in the grounds and the café is bright and clean, if a little overpriced. I drove up from Torquay and although only... More

We are national trust members and have wanted to visit this attraction for some time. I have go to say it was nice but because they are into year 1 of a 5 year renovation it was quite dark inside. Their is wood up at the windows which makes it quite difficult to see in some rooms. Some of the... More

We have been several times to Castle Drogo but when we took friends this time we were disappointed as the attraction during massive refurbishment lacked any internal furnishings etc. there were only empty rooms boarded up to a great extent. the usual admission price did not reflect the lack of furnishings, art works etc. some attempt has been made to...

£25 for a family of four to visit the gardens? Overpriced I think, however the best advice is probably to pick your time of year - much of the garden is still very wintry through the late spring. We gave the house a miss as we only had an hour or so. I feel for the NT - I can... More

people do not build castles nowadays but this one is fairly new and is an example of what you can achieve with the right amount of vision. The National Trust have made it a particularly interesting site to visit and the views are stunning

Undergoing major refurb, due to a five year programme to repair the roof costing £11m!! Clearly there is a reduction in what can be seen in the rooms as items are stored to protect them from damage. Some new rooms on the top level are open in an effort to compensate. This still a marvellous castle with some fantastic grounds... More

The receptionist did tell us that the castle was undergoing building work and the rooms were packed up but told us you could see items from the rooms on the top floor and it was still interesting as you could see the castle in a different way so we paid over £9 for the castle and grounds. Well what a... More

This is a very impressive private residence in a stunning location. This should be visited in combination with another National Trust property at the other end of the country, Lindisfarne Castle, off the coast of Northumberland. The architecture is absolutely fantastic, with this blend of modernism and vernacular details. Great rare 1930s landscaped garden too by the side of the... More

beautiful setting, we visited the castle on a warm day, the walks around were super, definetly a visit which we will repeat. The shop was super, we bought 3 ducks made from oil drums to put around our pond. Gilleken Belgium.
