Leeds Castle Review

Wonderful accomodation and when everyone leaves at six the place is yours to wonder around.... great

My first time there, enjoyable if castles are your thing

Came here for the Christmas market, lots of stalls. Some good options for food too. Lovely setting!

I visited today with my 5yr old and 5 month old sons. We really enjoyed the motors by the more event and lots on to keep them interested. It's a great place for a picnic and just a relaxing walk and my son loves the new castle play ground. Would really recommend Leeds castle.

Fantastic place. Really interesting and well presented.

Liked the moat. Not the most interesting castle in England...

Great day out with plenty of parking. Some slow service in cafe but down to volume of customers I think!

Congratulations to the staff on creating another stunning House decoration.

Gorgeous location, love visiting here regularly. The new playground is brilliant. Can't find any fault here. Highly recommended

Stunning place, lot's to do, visit the castle, have a walk around the grounds. This place is beautiful.

Booked online for 11am you have to show a car park sticker which you get online when you book, big queue .
Entry process is a joke you have to show different emails which you have received when booking.
Grounds are nice, inside castle was a bit underwhelming but there isn't a extra charge for entry just do this when you book online.

Definitely a lack of map boards in the grounds with locations of facilities and attractions.

7 out 10 for a day out.

I didn't take any pictures but can vouch for lovely castle and grounds - well worth a day out especially small children as large park so enough to wear them out!

Interesting place and history well presented and informative...Afternoon tea was equally well presented and enjoyable best prebooked in present conditions. ..and was that we found was a bit under par although prebooked we still were held in queues and those supposedly directing things leaving their post to chat but without covid it probably works OK.

Excellent! For adults (park, castle ...) as for children (castle, labyrinth, but especially large wooden structure.View nowhere else). And for all, a real mini golf extraordinary to 2 pounds per person.
A clarification, when the ticket machine will offer the ticket valid for one year, say yes! Even if you do not go back, you will be entitled without extra cost to a nice photo. And that alas, the lady does not explain it to you ... (visit end of April 2019 for us).

Lovilest castle in the world.. Along with the walk, park it was a delight visiting the castle

Leeds Castle is a great place to visit. The castle and gardens are so beautiful and the history is very interesting. I went there with Discovery Tours, and I'm really happy with this choice because the tour guide Andrew was very kind, and the the coach journey was comfortable. I enjoyed this tour a lot, and I'm looking forward to visiting other places with this company!

I went there with my daughter's school. It was a horrible day with loads of rain but we had a great time.

The highlight of the day was the maze and grotto. We had a tour of the main house was lovely, steeped with history. Grounds are well maintained and we will be going there again with a picnic hamper. Food facility was good and modern cafe/restaurant. Had a coffee with a few of the parents and it was good.

Was very easy to get to from the M20 with loads of signs. All in all a great day out.

Well worth a visit, Stunning Grounds and Amazing Castle

Had a wonderful day at Leeds castle very helpful and friendly staff great for children with plenty of activities,

Beautiful castle and lovely gardens. Great way to spend an afternoon.

A great fireworks event will definitely visit again and will fit a castle visit in too

Lots to do and see; drops a star because some of the best views are reserved for golfers only

Very welcoming and a bonus to have a years access with one ticket

Very nice castle with a great green area. Ideal for a family outing

Beautiful location and setting, lots for the whole family to see and do

Amazing place to take the children, and the fact that the tickets can be used as many times as you want for a while tear, makes it even better. The castle is great to explore, just take your time as we rushed it excited to see everything. More

Spectacular renovated castle. Treat yourself and stay in State Rooms that have accommodated World leaders in the past. Lots to see and the grounds are delightful.

I visited today for the Festival of Flowers!
The displays in the Castle were wonderful, was very hard to vote on the best !!
Congratulations to all involved.
Down side - I visited on Friday & was very disappointed as you could not see the rooms properly aa there were dozen of workers there setting up.
If I'd been told I would not have paid to go through. I should have been told!!!!
Not happy

Well kept grounds, perfect for family walks. Friendly and helpful staff and of course the most beautiful castle in Kent.

One of the wonderful Castle in South England. Highly recommended to visit.

It is nice castle. But I think it is just a one time visit. The castle has a huge garden, which you can have a picnic! I love the black swans!

Fantastic day out. Go and discover you won't be disappointed.

Always a pleasure to stroll through the grounds for a cup of tea.

Bellissimo castello storico che consente di immergersi in una ambientazione da favola.



Vale certamente una visita nonostante il costo.

Leeds castle was great for a few hours and then you can enjoy the grounds. Public transport is a little tricky for getting there.

It is a castle that has been tremendously timeless. It seems that the Foundation is currently managing it, but it is well maintained and there are various facilities and we will not get tired of visitors. It is a place where you can spend one day slowly while listening to audio commentary.

A beautiful pastoral place
There is a maze there that the kids really liked

Loveliest castle in England. Awesome greenery, flowers... peacock

Lovely Christmas market . Decorations in the castle were beautiful.

Beautiful castle, beautiful garden, great maze with beautiful cave

Beautiful, almost every room is open to the public. Christmas time is especially amazing!

It's not really a castle, more a stately home. Nice to wander round, but overpriced for what it is.

Brilliant, the Christmas market was on as well and had old fashioned rides like the carousel which seem difficult to find now!

Step back in time and enjoy some wonderful english history. Great entrance price which allows you free entry for the next 12 months after initial payment plus great family deals on entrance prices. The scenery is what dreams are made of, AMAZING

It is one of the most beautiful castles in the area and everything is perfect, take the time to see every detail

Lovely very picturesque, the staff were very helpful and the Christmas market is excellent. I recommend the apple strudel and custard.

Lots of history and a great place to visit. Pay once and visit as many times as you like for 12 months

The gardens and grounds are great to explore. Lovely formal gardens, woodland, lakes and streams with water plants, ducks, swans and geese.
The castle itself is just a small part of the experience, itself a great place to wander around.
The attractions within the grounds are growing, with so much to keep the kids, and adults amused.
A good day out!

Lovely walk from the entrance to the castle through wooded area with lots of wildlife, including ducks geese and swans. If the walk is too much there's a road train which goes from the entrance to the lake and back. There's a boat across the lake, although we've never been on it. Castle is good, with some small shops by it. Further on past the castle there's a maze, wild bird area for shows and finally a park areas for the kids and a snack shop! So plenty to do, we love it!

Christmas market, house was closed. Rained all day but we'll organised.

First visit today with my 7 year old and 6 month old daughter. I was really concerned when I read I couldn't take a pushchair into the castle. I read the castle provides baby slings but being a rather large mummy I was afraid they wouldn't fit me but I worried for no reason. The lady behind the desk fitted it to me so my baby was perfectly safe and this meant we got to go into the beautiful castle. We now have annual passes so will be popping back very regularly. Loved every minute!

It is worth the climb to the top of the keep just for the views.

Beautiful castle, swans, amazing view and food! Room in the Maiden tower with the castle view is just amazing!!

Brilliant place to visit again and again. Caters for all ages and the castle is amazing.

Beautiful castle, tricky maze, glimpse of birds of pray, spacious playground and castle for kids and very well maintained gardens. Many paths and secluded benches for quiet rest, refreshment points on every corner, also plenty of WC. Great choice for relaxed day , whoever we managed to make more than 6 km just walking around.

Very nice castle with lovely grounds, better to go on a sunny day. Quite expensive but the ticket is valid for a year so it's ok if you plan to make more than one visit

Pleasant relaxing place. A place to stroll. Good place for wildlife. The bird of prey display well done and enlightening.

Beautiful place to spend a nice day, the castle and the gardens are stunning

The castle is surprisingly warm. It's beautiful and well kept. the staff is friendly. the hallways are tiny and even though they limit the number of viewers at a time people seem to still end up clustering in on spot at time. we tried to either stay ahead or behind the clusters for our own comfort while viewing the rooms. The grounds looked amazing but we didn't have enough time to view it all because of the tour we were on.

I don't think it's the "loveliest castle in England" as often claimed, but the gardens are beautiful. The castle itself is a bit of a mish mash of medieval to late-medieval to 19th century architecture. A bit pricey for the ticket.

Pay once a year and come as many times as you like, events included. Well worth the ticket price. Beautiful grounds and castle and top class events!

Really pretty park, very nice castle, inside and out. Funny maze, nice bird animations. To have !

Lots to see and do - really enjoyed the day here although a days not enough to do everything

Stunning castle and gorgeous grounds plus great playgrounds for kids

Fantastic I would go back again a nice experience it is worth the pen to visit it a beautiful place. In September there is the flower exhibition and in May the machines.

Well laid out, lots of history, good set of time periods, and lots for different groups to do.

Stunning and well turned out. The falconry and wildlife are a joy to behold. The only marred by the wait staff not their fault but there are insufficient people to deal with the volume of public. The long waits for food and drink, the estimate 30 mins + to be fed

Very nice day spent in this magnificent flowered park with a castle reflected in the water
