We had a great time here. All the staff were pleasant, helpful and informative. The property is very well looked after with beautiful collections. The craftsmanship from a time gone by is exquisite if like I you are interested in that sort of thing. A truly stunning castle. The grounds are gorgeous. The railway museum was a nice and unexpected find. Facilities were clean and looked after, prices typical of the National Trust. Small shop, but had all the things you expect to see available. We found the cafe selling light bites, we're not sure if there was one on site selling meals as such. Followed the Easter trail which was good fun all on accessible areas. The playground isn't very big and got busy quickly but the kids enjoyed it. Definitely recommend a visit here.
Visited in September 2019 during my holiday in Wales. Earlier that day I walked up to Aber falls, and because I still had time after, I headed to this castle, because they are close to each other. It is very imposing from further and closer, too, especially with the ivy on the walls which became reddish close to autumn. It had a little railway museum in the courtyard, before I headed to the entrance of the castle. The view is fantastic as well as the interior. There are quite a few rooms to visit and the whole corridor, staircase, hall, everything is just so spacious and rich that I just wandered around with surprise and I couldn't take enough pictures. The dome is an architectural masterpiece, and those so many tiny details carved in are amazing. There are toilets and cafe in the basement, also at the railway museum, and then we can have a walk in the lovely garden. As far as I've seen seniors can go up by car to the castle, otherwise the visitor centre is a bit further down. It is a wonderful and impressive place to visit and I dare to say a must to see in Wales. National Trust site, so members go free. From the main road an arched stone gate leads to the estate - I missed it 2 times, so I thought better to warn others.
The most unique industrial castle we have ever seen. Massive beautifully decorated rooms with a lot of interesting history and many nice people that can explain it to you. The train expo is great as it brings you closer to the period of quarries and mining in Wales. A lot of space to walk, have a picnic or just sunbathe, a nice cafe and shop. What a great experience. Don't miss out.
What an amazing castle! Everyone should visit at least once. Gorgeous inside and out. There's also a train museum and gardens didn't have a chance to visit the last one. Beautiful views to the sea and the mountains. Lots of parking spaces, a cafe and a shop.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Fantastic day out with my lovely daughters at an amazing place, never seen such a beautiful castle even if it's not a real one. The grounds are well worth the visit, there are 2 cafe's and plenty of toilets, parking is easy and plentiful, lovely place to bring the kids and dog, with some lovely walks. A true credit to the National Trust for keeping this historic building in its original form.
Lovely place to visit with great architecture and beautiful gardens, the inside also has some amazing furniture and draperies, the only thing that tainted it for me was where the money that built it came from. It's a good castle that is late but still intact. Easy to spend a good few hours at the attraction.
Excellent visit on a bright but blustery day. Took advantage of the good weather to walk around the grounds admiring the early spring flowers, such as wood anemone, primroses and daffodils. Had a quick visit inside the house and the volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable with their information and interesting facts about the castle and the former residents. Not everywhere was open but we had a lovely visit.
Beautiful National Trust property. Pleasant staff. Very good Easter egg trail. Absolutely stunning interior decor. Railway way museum is alright there are much better out there. The star of the show is most definitely the castle. This was my second visit a good ten years apart I thought that there might be more of the castle open now. Such a shame one of the towers isn't open to take in the incredible vistas.
This is a great place to visit. Plenty to see inside the vast castle and really interesting. It really is vast, nearly 2000 rooms but fortunately they are not all open to the public or I would still be there! There is also the fantastic walled gardens to explore anytime of the year. As you would expect with National Trust, there is a car park, toilets and cafe. There are two cafes! One inside the castle, at the end of the tour, and one outside, in the stables area, which is near the Rail museum.
