Best castle I have ever been. It's so nicely remained. You can see a lot of things inside. The lake and reflection of the castle was so cool to photograph. It's worth to visit. The people who work there are so friendly and nice. They know a lot about the castle. My son was asking so many questions and they answered everything they could. Thank you for this wonderful experience.
Had a great evening with the family here! The castle is more about the sights if you're unable to climb the four 56+ step towers, but the view is spectacular! A quick walk around the castle's moat will show you the best angles of the castle, and the bridged entrance with fish in the water make a great photo spot.Visited onPublic holiday
It's a great castle to visit, with lots to see, so long as you are able bodied enough to enjoy it. It's a short walk to the castle on a gravel path up hill with a circular path round the castle and a patch of grass at the front. There's one permanent toilet at the car park and a temporary one by the castle which is open some of the time. The website says it's an accessible venue, however in our experience it was very difficult to get around on the gravel paths in the wheelchair and seeing all of the rooms in the castle was impossible as you could only access them by spiral staircases. This is understandable as it's a castle, but I'd have hoped this would have been explained on the website.
Lovely place, you definitely need a car to get here. Haven't tried coming here by steam train but I imagine it shouldn't be too hard. It's a good day trip to do where you can arrive before 11 and finish by 3/4. It needs to have more historical content put around the castle wherever you can. I feel this is typical of most National trust places. There's more to the story than just the ruins. They could help tell the story with placards and posters.
Had an excellent afternoon out here. Last visit was many years ago when I was on a school trip. It is a beautiful moated castle set in some lovely countryside. They have a really good gift ship with excellent Christmas gifts, and a lovely tea room. National Trust cream teas are the best.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNo
Had a lovely visit to Bodium Castle. From the car park and visitor centre, where there are toilets a cafe and a second hand book store, it's a short walk up hill to the Castle easily manged in my wife's electric wheel chair. Inside the Castle was not so disabled friendly, but you can get around and see most of it. As you enter down to the left is a video room and an informative history of the castle. Staff have activity areas around the castle for children. Most of the stairways, and turrets are open, with lovely views of the countryside. Its a great moated castle one of the best to visit it really is.
A beautiful castle with lush green grounds perfect for a day out or picnic with family. Plenty of benches to sit and enjoy drinks/snacks with family. Entrance to the castle is ticketed, plenty of paid parking available. Short walk from parking to the castle grounds. Highly recommend this beautiful castle.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Absolutely awesome castle, and for what you’d pay to get in there’s a lot of castle to see for your money! I’m a member of NT so recommend that to anybody. Spiral staircases to the top of the towers which are steep but worth a climb as great views all around. Walk along a wall too!! Short video about the history of the castle. Bats living in the castle which I was fortunate enough to see. Lovely walk around the most and a steak train nearby to see go past. Friendly staff and excellent facilities like cafe, toilets etc. worth a visit, I’ll be coming back soon.
Although we couldn't get into the castle today shut for viewing, the grounds were open. To be honest I don't think we missed much not being able to go in as it's pretty spectacular from the outside. Had a beautiful sunny day that helped! If you think "castle" then this is the place to go! Fascinating history. For heritage railway buffs there is even such a railway right on the doorstep. Plenty of parking, interesting small museum, funny friendly ducks....and lots of big hungry carp in the moat! Well worth a visit!
Surely THE classic 'castle' castle. Friendly staff, and enough to explore for a couple of hours, but also a few missed opportunities. The £2 kids 'dragon' activity fell short of what you might reasonably expect in 2022. Someone did their best when given almost no money, but it was pretty poor. I'm being kind. There was very little interpretation unless you bought a book and the guide we overheard spent too much time telling people off. The cafe adjacent to the castle ran out of most food just after lunch. Certainly there was nothing for my young kids who can't eat dairy. No-one pointed me to the other cafe I'd missed by the entrance! The toilets by the castle are up steps - so useless with a kids buggy. The 'medieval fayre' was already pretty tired after a week of the school holidays. Bodiam is such a gift - these 'grumbles', as the NT will label them, could all be remedied with a bit of money, more staff, and some imagination. Fingers crossed.
