What our visitors say about the castle

Rice House

This is one of the better castles to visit. Yes, it might be half demolished, but that is what gives this castle it's charm, as weird as it sounds. And the Cafe is one of the very best

"attraction cafes* I have visited! I had the Bolton Pie and the Millionaire Bar and the latte! All top notch!

Richard Frost
My family and I visited the castle today and had a great day. The lady who was doing all of the demos and feeding (I'm afraid I didn't catch her name) was excellent and made the whole day such a lovely experience. She was especially good doing the archery demo with the young children where she was so patient and kind. Really impressed us all and is an asset to the castle team. The falconry shows were great and she was full of knowledge.
Thank you again for such a lovely day out.

We enjoyed this more than Windsor Castle!
Even though Bolton Castle gets good reviews, having visited multiple castles our expectations weren’t that high. This was better than most castles we’ve visited (and we live not far from Windsor Castle) , our kids loved every minute and didn’t want to leave. A brilliant, fun day out for all of us. The highlights being the bird of prey show and the Mary Queen of Scots show. I strongly recommend visiting if you’re in the area and looking for a fun, interactive, educational and value for money day out.

Excellent visit!
What a fabulous place the castle has a lot to offer both variety of complete rooms and scale. The grounds were lovely (boar family!) and the falconry display was excellent - led brilliantly by the staff member. The staff were all friendly and helpful and topped off with a pot of tea from friendly tea room staff.
The Axcell family August 2024
I'd just like to pass on our thanks for a lovely visit yesterday. We had a fantastic day at the castle; the falconry display was fun and informative, the archery demonstration was fab, and nicely rounded off with the wild boar feeding at 16:00. Kelly was brilliant, but very special thanks to Dave who helped make the past come alive; Eleanor and Joseph had a day they will never forget thanks to the generosity of your time and enthusiasm (the parents too)! It's hands down the best visit we've ever had to a historic property and we'd recommend it to anyone. We're happy for you to post the review on the website if you wanted.
Thanks again, and we'll definitely come back again if we're in the area.
