Fantastic castle! Passed through this castle on one of our school hikes. Was closed for the day but went in as far as the tea room; ate some wonderful cakes. Definitely coming back here for a proper tour!

We really enjoyed the old castle tour,which started outside then inside. An old church to look around. Nice little cafe with homemade cakes. Really would recommend it.

Just spent a most enjoyable time at Brancepeth Castle. Such a lovely place with an interesting history dating back from the 1100s to the present day.
The cakes are to die for.

Amazing castle that's tucked away. Definitely worth a visit and 100% book the tour. Brilliant to hear about its history and how they are endeavouring to make it the place it should be. Really enjoyed out visit.

We visited for the Christmas craft fair. The event was well organised and the castle itself was beautiful. There were many stalls of high quality products such as local coffee, art, pottery, jewellery, food, soaps, ornaments - all by local small business owners.
The small cafe was well run with a variety of items available, only a little too expensive for what you got. Nevertheless, all very nice.
If you go, wrap up warm as it was a little chilly walking around inside. This is one of the best craft/artisan fairs that I have been to in terms of variety and location.

The Christmas Craft Fair. A huge range of local arts and crafts stalls as well as cakes, cheeses, and meat products. Lovely trip out to get into the Christmas spirit. Look out for the summer fair, too.

Such an unknown place to us but what a fantastic place. Oliver was our guide, a member of the family that owns it. Such an informative tour which lasted well over an hour (even got a cup of tea afterwards). Such a beautiful place to visit and looking forward to returning and seeing its transformation

Nice Castle, really tall and made of stone. I wish I could have gone in more and take a look, but their tours aren't yet running again because of Covid. You can walk a good way around the castle and check it out. Apparently it's rather cold inside the castle, and the residents have to bundle up year round. There's also a small cafe where you can eat outside.
