Superb - I recommend this experience to everyone young and old there was 8 of us all adults and we had a full day and evening of fun and entertainment the castle was very educational as well as interactive as for the dungeon which you have to pay extra for (very good price for the experience) £6 each the light trail after dark was out of this world with the music accompanying lights exceptional well worth a day and evening out Geoff Evans

Lovely Christmas break - We stayed over in a woodland lodge over the Christmas period and the whole family had a wonderful time.
We went ice skating and had a look round the castle and the wonderful grounds.
Then booked into our lodge which was lovely, and had a cavern with a show.
In the morning we had breakfast and went to Santa’s stories.
Santas stories was great and all the staff were great.

Good but could be better - The lights were great but the signage around the castle and within is not very good. Pictures are also quite expensive based on the quality and poor editing.

Bad ice skates spoil a good visit. - Excellent enjoyable visit to castle and grounds but main reason for visit was open air ice skating.
Rink was good and not too crowded but totally spoilt by the awful skates supplied. Several of our party are very experienced skaters but ALL had difficulty standing still or pushing off, due to the skates. Flat bottom blades? The only skaters managing to skate freely were those in their own skates!
Until they change/improve the skates avoid.

Too busy - The ice rink was very busy when we went - I think they had booked too many people on either that or they were just not supervised. Would not recommend with kids who have not got much skating experience - it was a shame as the setting was beautiful

Too crowded ,felt unsafe - I didn't enjoy this , we went Christmas Eve and it was packed out . We were shuffling along like cattle. It was dark on the paths and I kept stumbling ,I felt unsafe. It poured with rain and some steep bits felt slippy. Nothing made me go wow ,I was concentrating on staying up. Hardly any staff on route to reassure you . Wouldn't do it again .

Pre booked tickets NOT honoured. - Don’t trust pre booked tickets.
We booked in October for 6 people. The ticket clearly states “entry to the castle until 4pm.
We arrived at 3.40 and were denied entry as “they were full” Presumably they overbook to get as many in as possible.
There was no one to complain to, so having driven 200 miles with grandchildren we left utterly disappointed.
I emailed my complaint and only got a partial refund after 56 days by involving the CEO of the parent company.
Never, never will I trust them, and next year it’s the far superior Blenheim Palace for us.

Oops wrong place - I accidentally put my review under tower suits rather than Christmas at the castle. Long story short awful experience, not SEN friendly, let down by management, we won't be going back. For more information check out my original review on tower suits

Rip off hidden costs - Very disappointed with the ice skating.
The rink was a lake and they charged extra for a kids balancing penguin which I felt should
have been included in the price given the cost of the ticket. Just felt they were on the make and not offering value for money. Just trying to grab as much money as possible with lots of hidden costs. Worse than Ryanair!
