Bickleigh Castle

The River Exe runs through the Estate, offering you the chance to fish or just sit and listen as the river makes its way back to the sea.

This is an opportunity not only to be close to nature, but to almost touch history: Our chapel was built only 30 years after the Normans landed in Britain in the 11th Century and stands intact today as probably the oldest 'living' building in Devon

Bickleigh Castle offers bed and breakfast and wedding accommodation with 15 bedrooms, including Twin, Double and Family rooms, available in our newly renovated thatched cottages situated around the Castle Courtyard.

All of the bedrooms are tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard.

We can offer an evening meal if booked in advance.

We are an ideal get away from the stress of everyday life for both the overnight business traveller and those looking for a few days away. For the long distance traveller we are an ideal stop over on the way to Cornwall.

Tennis and Croquet are available and we are ideally situated for walks on both Exmoor and Dartmoor.

The Cathedral City of Exeter is only a 15 minute drive away and has ample shopping and eating facilities. It also has an array of historic buildings and a lovely quay, which is home to a number of craft, gifts shops and cafes.

The out of town shopping experience of Bickleigh Mill is just 5 minutes away as is the Devon Railway Centre - an ideal outing for both children and parents. If you wish to venture further we are not far from the coastal towns of Torquay, Paignton or Minehead.
