Leeds Castle Reviews

Beautiful castle and beautiful gardens, birds of prey and playground there is much to see.

It was a fantastic day out see it to believe it AMAZING PLACE

My favourite Castle in England. Beautiful and great to have fun for both kids and parents.

A.D 1119, but still perfect condition. A beautiful place for an all-day. An interesting and long history. Very interesting castle interiors and exhibits. Large green areas with a lake that surrounds the castle. Great gardens. Mysterious green maze and grotto. Many attractions, but honestly one day is too short for everything. Restaurant, cafe shop, hotel, gift shop and large car park. I recommend Leeds Castle's Bird of Prey Centre including Hawks, Vulture, Falcon and Owls. I spent a beautiful day there in September 2017.

Absolutely love Leeds castle. So much to do and see. 100% recommend.

Really like the castle, there are art paints which i really like it.Is a shame that is a rainy and windy day when me and my friend going there. But really value for money as you could visit there again within one year with the ticket. I definately suggest my friend explore there. Just for everyone know that no shuttle is available during sunday and bus 10x is limited time available.

Today was our 3rd trip to the castle. The annual pass is an absolute bargain, and the Christmas fair was great. The castle, children's play park and the maze are fantastic. The restaurant today was so busy, but I would like to thank the staff for their efficiency, friendliness, smiles and lovely food. The restaurant staff are an absolute credit to the castle. If you haven't yet been to visit Leeds Castle I would highly recommend it! I love the fact that this Castle does not have the 'stuffy and unfriendly' feel that some of these places do seem to unfortunately have. We'll be back again very soon! (Thank you too to the lovely guy feeding the geece today, who gave us loads of great information, really friendly and much appreciated).

Great place to visit. Better maps of the property would be helpful, but overall a great visit.

It really is a lovely castle. Lots of open space around. They give an "I Spy" game to children which is very effective keeping them entertained and engaged with the visit. The price is a bit high for a single visit but it gives you access for a whole year.

Well what can i say? The weather was lovely which saved the day. The walk from the car park to the castle took over half an hour. The lawns and grounds are beautiful. I didn't have time to go into the castle as it was time to walk back to the car/ coach park. This place is nice to visit if you are a fit walker under 50 .

Brilliant day lovely castle and grounds the kids loved the maze. Great value buy a ticket and come back throughout the year.

Leeds castle is the best castle in England. My husband's birthday on the 14th March, we had the best staff service, food excellent. Wonderful place.

An excellent place full of nature perfect for little kids or teachers looking to educate their children

Visited today. The grounds are extensive and kept in good order. Lots of geese and ducks and other bird wildlife including fish on the ponds and squirrels who don't seem to afraid of visitors. The ferry and train were operating a fast turn round service so those who wished could move around in ease. There are plenty of food establishments and absolutely loads for the children, plenty of play areas and places to picnic. Did not go in the castle today as there was oodles to do in the grounds. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for a family day ( or two )out.

What a beautiful place. It'll take your breath away. No wonder it is England's prettiest castle

Great place to take children. The big playground is closed at the moment but looks like it will be great fun when it reopens.

Lovely castle and grounds. Went during the good festival and was amazing. Would recommend a great day out!

Leeds Castle has a reputation of being the most beautiful castle in the world. Maybe, but l think it has more to do with the setting than the castle itself. The grounds and the setting are truly beautiful and with the woodland, grass areas and moat and lake you can get some stunning photos. The castle itself although clean and interesting, l don't think can be called the most beautiful even in the UK, but may be if you add the setting it is. The woodland walks are very nice and relaxing and nice areas are plentiful for picnics. Children can run around and play on the grass areas or in the woods. They can also feed the ducks and swans. You can buy their food in the shop on entry. An area we thought could be improved was the restaurant we visited. We got there at three but they had stopped doing food until six thirty. You can book for an evening meal and if the weather allows you to sit outside it would be lovely overlooking the castle as it does and being lit up. We had a look at the evening menu and sorry to say we were disappointed. Also in the afternoon when we were there, there was a lot of dirty cups, glasses and plates left too long on the tables. We did enjoy our visit but apart from the setting we think it's over rating a bit to say its the most beautiful in the world. On a nice day we will be going back though.

Truly the loveliest castle ever, 900 years old and still beautiful. The new play area adds something even more to such a delightful place.

Well kept, beautiful grounds, tricky maze and large exciting play area for the children. Only down side is the cost of ice cream in there!!-

Beautiful castle with plenty of activities to keep the kids occupied - had a lovely day and money definitely well spent.

What a great day out!!!!! The price is in keeping with other castles but was way worth it. In fact it is an annual ticket so offers something others do not. The gardens are amazing and really well kept even though this time of year not much is in flower and bloom but there is plenty to look at. The castle was decorated in Christmas decorations and really looked beautiful. There was so much to see and do. The kids are well looked after also. So happy for families.

Absolutely fantastic and relaxing place. Its beauty is amazing!

Fantastic location and we spent the night at the castle 5 star for the room and the food

A castle where it feels it would be comfortable to live in. Much more comfortable as castles like Versailles or others.

The garden is beautiful. A lot of fun to walk through. The falconry surprised by showing running birds.

What a fantastic location. If you can visit it in fall ... maybe one time in every season. (ticket last one year!).

Absolutely stunning fireworks display. Very good logistical organisation. Really great time was had by all of our family group.

Breathtaking! One of the best castles i ve ever visited

Had wonderful day at Leeds castle will be going back next week

Been several times and will visit again. Beautiful castle and scenery. Good family day out

Entry very expensive... Nice grounds for walk, but still pretty pricey.

Very nice castle with imposing interior. Beautiful garden, where you can also picnic. Restaurant with delicious fish and chips at normal prices.

A great place to visit all year round with one of the best annual firework displays in the area. In addition to the castle the falconry displays are very popular and there is a large play area and maze. The gardens are large and don't feel crowded even on busy days.

I took a party in coach from Chaucer college enjoyed day out

Amazing place to take the family and to learn some history!

My husband is disabled and in a wheelchair and I can honestly say I have never been anywhere that goes so out of their way to help you many thanks to all the staff

It is a beautiful castle and there is so much to do there. You really need a full day to appreciate it all.

Although the convenience of transportation is not good, it is worth to go. It was a very beautiful castle in the lake, looking at the castle from the banks of the lake, it was as if I had time slip into the medieval world.

Fantastic ...shame the food was sold by dick Turpin..

I'll definitely be back, amazing place to visit and walk around.

My daughter and I enjoyed our trip to Leeds Castle and had a great time seeing everything that we could.

Nice venue. I didn't expect to pay so much to get in, but upon reflection its a fair price

Lovely stay at the castle! Amazing room and beautiful dinner last night. Not sure what happened with the breakfast service this morning! Bit all over the place. Took over an hour waiting for food. But will def be back again.

It's a very nice location, in the middle of the nature. The structure is still good as long time ago and the atmosphere around the place is awesome.

Highly interesting excursion, beautiful rooms, flowers and Christmas trees inside every room and halls. It's worth visiting!

Beatyfull place..was with family there, very nicely designed, you get a nice impression of the past ... my daughter especially liked the maze maze. The moated castle is beautiful, I would love to come back

Very interesting. There is a nine hole golf course. There is entertainment. In the afternoon when there is a show with birds of prey. Good restaurants serving locally grown food. Delightful gardens. A sightseeing train.

A very lovely place worth the visit. Nice staff too.

Attended the sprint triathlon day (29/06/19)
Great venue. Great staff. Great atmosphere.
The grounds are beautiful

Fantastic place, full of history, extensive grounds and a lovely cafe. A great day out.

This is our go to place for a relaxing time among beautiful gardens and buildings.

You can only see a part of a super business to generate money

What a great Piece of History and plenty to entertain the whole family.

Something for everyone here: beautiful castle, lovely walk, good facilities for children. Visited today for the Joust and medieval fair. There were lots of interesting things to see and learn from black powder weapons through the ages to medieval medicine and plumbing! Was a bit too busy for my taste but still fun. The new children's playground was a big improvement. Annual ticket make this a must if you live locally.

So picturesque, plenty to see and great kids play areas especially for the little ones

Loved the history, the upkeep of the gardens and small interesting shows for kids. It is a perfect place for a couple like us who love walking as well as for those with kids. If there is anything I could improve ,it would be the food served in the restaurants in the premises.

Leeds castle is a brilliant day out for all the family. If you like a history lesson in the castle or just a wander around the fantastic gardens.
For the children there is a huge castle play area, crazy golf, a maze, and the falconry.
I cant fault the staff who do an amazing job and are very helpful.
There is so much to do one day isnt enough.

Wonderful experience. Breathtakingly beautiful gardens. Would have like more of a variety for lunch.

Beautiful, amazing... It's a great place to visit. The gardens outside worth a visit alone

Pay for a ticket to go in and it lasts for the whole year, you can then experience the place through all of the seasons and different events. Highly recommend.

Brilliant. Beautiful castle, spectacular grounds. Lovely ice cream and an amazing kids play area. What more could you ask for. Oh yes and a maze!

Great day out. Plenty to do and see. Well laid out your of the house.

Very nicely decorated castle with large gardens.
Definitely worth the money.

Really a very good outdoors venue for the family, plenty of places to stop and picnic, and a specific play area for young children. Various activities going on a different times of the year. Can get very busy though especially parking but your ticket lasts a year so you can come back for free any time during that year! Not quite so much to do on a bad weather day!

Amazing place well worth the money history and stunning views

First of many castles we visited. Small as castles go. But very homie.
