What our visitors say about the castle

Yorkshire Dales Classic Car Club

From all of us at YDCCC a huge thank you for Sunday. Please thank all of the staff at the castle for being very kind and extremely helpful. Everyone who attended was very happy at the location for our picnic as you can imagine. It was also nice to see visitors having a look around the cars. Sadly with the arrival of the rain we had to leave in a hurry and did not get to thank the staff in person. So please pass on my thanks to all who helped to make our day a very special one. Look forward to visiting again in the future.

Awesome cafe awesome castle

First things first! The Cornish Pasties here are made by a lady (81 years old - originally from Cornwall) - they are the best pasties I’ve ever tasted. You must try them! Secondly the castle is brilliant Lots to see and do. Dave and his wife that run the Mary Queen of Scot’s room and the archery are super friendly and knowledgeable. Dave was lovely with our boy. Both went above and beyond.

I just wanted to say my husband and I visited the Castle and thought it the most splendid place! From the staff, Tea Room, signage information so well presented, but one of my main reasons for contacting you was to say that Kelly, one of your members of staff excelled herself. We joined her for a bit of archery, managed to hit the board, my husband 86 and myself 77 didn’t do too badly! Her rapport and information with the Birds of Prey was second to none, she obviously loves her job, she is truly an asset to the Castle, thank you. Please pass on this email to the relevant source, thank you.

You must visit! Beautiful!

You must go! Driven passed many times, made the effort to visit on Monday. Really interesting. Beautiful location and views. More to look at than you might think! Friendly helpful and informative staff. Great falconry display. Lovely gardens. Nice cakes and scones in the cafe. Highly recommended 👌

YorTours – Breathe in Yorkshire

Another brilliant experience on Friday with my pre booked 2 clients from Ohio

Birds of prey on arrival for 3pm falconry display; followed by castle and boars feeding - whilst I had time to feed in your cafe too

Just brilliant - thanks and we always get a genuine warm welcome from all you staff and the ladies in the cafe too !

Warmest regards,

Nick
