Leeds Castle Reviews

Such a lovely place to visit. It's great for the whole family with lots to do. Once you have paid the admission price on the day of your visit you then get to go back as many times as you like for the next 12 months with those same tickets.

The heart of England! Class elegance history .... to see.

Had a great day out at the castle. The maze is particularly good. Great value if you plan to return a few times within a year. If you don't it is a bit expensive.

We have annual tickets and go there quite often. Beautiful park and views, plenty of attractions for kids and a grade 1 historical castle. Christmas decorations were particularly impressive this year.

Not cheap but ticket is valid for a year and it has large grounds so certainly a place you could visit often.

This is a wonderful day out. The ticket allows 1 year of entry and it's worth regular visits as the beauty can be appreciated all year round

Beautiful place. An old castle that has had changes since 900 hundred years. You can see how it evolved during the years and learn about English history. At the same time you can appreciate how such an old structure became a modern living place for a family.

Have visited many times, as beautiful now as ever. Come and enjoy.

Nice park nice castle, expensive for one-time visit

Nice castle to see. Historical and a nice park. But the entrance fee is quite high for what you actually get.

We stayed in the Lloyd bedroom overlooking the hedge pathway that leads to the playground and maze. The room was amazing with every comfort for our stay. We attended our friends wedding in the maidens tower which was wonderful. A great location and unforgettable experience. The wedding meal was really good.
The breakfast the following morning in the castle view restaurant was not quiet as good though. There was not a great choice with the continental breakfast. The cooked breakfast was okay, but the black pudding had been sitting around for a while. We were offered one cup of coffee but none more materialised.

Great day out with the family - the entry ticket is valid for 1 year and we are already planning to return this autumn. They say its the prettiest castle and we would wholeheartedly agree

Wonderful place 900 years of history great attractions Christmas market and fairground was great could easily spend a full day there worth travelling over 250 miles

Lots for families to see and do. Sadly the castle was closed because of Covid 19. I really liked the barbecue hut

Lovely landscaped gardens and castle. During summer they have a really good falconry show with interesting facts about various birds of prey.

Beautiful place, veraiety of activities for children, wonderful gardening. Our family spent most enjoyable time there.

Lovely Castle and grounds but over priced if only able to visit in the winter for a day when many attractions were closed. The only ticket option was an annual pass which is impractical if you live outside the area.

It is a great place for kids and grownups i absoloutely loved it!

Amazing Leeds Castle never fails to amaze you. A visit is a must an experience not to be missed.

I visited similar venues this year. All rate high 5. But really this one deserves more!!! The best maintained UK castle so far I've visited. And the most beautiful too.

Staff friendly and helpful and a beautiful place to go

Fabulous castle with a lovely garden and green area around it!We had fun in the maze..fireworks display was excellent!

Went for firework display, which was great, only niggle was the nightmare to get out of the car park, took nearly an hour

If you just want to access the park to see the castle you still have to pay the total entrance which includes visiting the castle and it is very expensive. Otherwise you can stop on a large park ... but without seeing a piece of castle ....

Nice rooms, staff who go the extra mile to help and a castle out of a fairytale. Ticks all the boxes!

Very good, both cultural and amusing, various activities

Interesting castle. Long history and good to see how people lived there in various countries.

Stunning castle and serene picturesque surroundings. Lush lawns, creeks, ponds, ducks, swans, black swans etc is a pleasant experience. They have added a new cool children s playground as well. It s very well maintained. It s a blend of history and nature. They offer a road train and ferry at an additional cost. The cafe and restaurant is decent. Ticket is pricey just any prime castles, but it s valid for a year is an advantage for repeat visitors.

Less items on show due to building works. Free bus to the castle from the car park.

Splendid the Castle and the park for fauna and flora

Lovely staff. Well organised. Fascinating place. Some rooms not open at present and maze and grotto shut. Signage could be clearer on that around site to save a walk! Really lovely day though and will be back.

Beautiful place to walk around. Absolutely full of history.

Fabulous place, a must see if you go to england, we had a private guided tour with Agatha- she was great.!!

Great historical importance, would recommend doing the audio guide within the castle + mini-train and boat

Not much of a castle, as not much that was really old here. Disappointing.

A grand tourist attraction for young and old. Take a picnic or a full wallet.

Well signposted, arrive to large grass car parks and one hard standing with a good number of disabled bays. A bit pricey but tickets valid for a year.
Good loos at entrance then hard pathways lead you a variety of routes around to the castle. A few have rather an unsettling camber for those seeking in wheelchairs or with buggies. But good pathways.
Lots for children in the way of maze adventure castle and plenty of space to run about. Excellent falconry, meet dome of the birds too. Teas coffees and small restaurant. Castle very interesting, more of a stately home. Downstairs made quite accessible and video for those that can't make it upstairs. Beatutiful grounds. Really good staff, very knowledgeable, and all, from gate staff to the shop food outlets and the castle staff very friendly and happy to help.

Overpriced, decent for a visit but there are much nicer castles

Great place to take the kids and plenty to see.would love to go to the fireworks display this year if they have it.

the marketing says this is the most beautiful castle in england but it reminded me of grandma's house on the inside. outside, a beautiful setting

Lovely architecture, beautiful landscape and falconry displays. Well organised for social distancing and good take out food and drink in courtyard.

Good day out with grandchildren, though a bit costly but it not every week.

It is nice to visit if you are in the Kent area. It is good size castle, the garden is beautiful.

I liked it but I wouldn't go there again since it is too expensive, I came from Bracknell and I thought it would be more things to do inside, not so much gardens

Staff welcomed the children from the school and was a great educational day out.

Beautiful to see. Very nice. The gardens you have to walk through make walking fun.

Amazing place the kids loved it and so did the grown ups!

First time here but wow its amazing. So much history that is well preserved inside the castle and the grounds are beautiful, black swans roam freely and they must have every colour of tulip. Well worth a visit and don't miss the dog collar collection!

Really awesome family day out! Loads to see and do. There's a castle in the middle of a lake/moat to explore, beautiful gardens to wander through, an amazing play park (both for little and big kids :D There's a huge maze, with a grotto to explore if you can find your way to the centre! There are falconry displays, a mini boat, and land train ride, to get from one end of the grounds to the other :D theres awesome Ice cream and other food stops, as well as lots of gift shops , in case you're a shopaholic ;) please note though, the castle has been lived in, and is more of a house than a "traditional" castle :)

Excellent, British history at its best. We stayed overnight and went to the medieval banquet.

The castle has undergone many renovations over time. Many rooms have been rebuilt and set up with recreated objects. The outdoor park is large, with ducks free to roam the lawn. Outdoor rooms and gardens are often used as concert locations, cinema under the stars and various events.

The overall experience was good however the restaurant food was well below par undercooked 6 children's meals that is 2 sent back 3 times and overcooked adults food great castle but next time I think I will pack a picnic
