Due to the weather, we didn't visit the gardens but there is plenty to see inside the castle. We had a drink and cake in the coffee shop - cake was great, very fresh! Coffee was good as well. Staff were friendly. There are a lot of steps, as you would expect, but definitely worth a visit to the Keep. Really liked looking around the house. The taxidermy wasn't very nice, and there was a lot of it!! I would recommend a visit but I probably won't go again.

An excellent day spent at Arundel Castle which included an entertaining and informative guided trip , by Paul, to the dry motte and Bailey castle. The keep, castle and rooms were very interesting with well informed guides on hand to offer help and information. The gardens were well kept and still colour about even though it was late in the year, Restaurant was clean and spacious, helpful staff and fair prices. Very enjoyable experience.

The Moat Tour with fully costumed guide, Paul, was brilliant. He knows his castle inside and out. A great insight into the construction and defence of the original building. Interaction for everyone, faultless history facts and all put over with the right amount of humour to include all ages. Well done Arundel Castle and, in particular, well done Paul.

What a magnificent building in beautiful grounds in a gorgeous location. The castles’ history is fascinating. The self guided tour around the keep and the rooms was very interesting. Lots to see and read about and the guides were very approachable and added to the experience.

The grounds and gardens are really impressive even in the pouring rain when we managed to shelter temporarily in the greenhouses. The castle is absolutely fabulous and stunning. Well worth the entrance fee. The whole castle is very authentic. The restaurant and shop etc are fitted out in a very appropriate style to the rest of the castle rooms. Would definitely visit again.

THE most beautiful castle we ever had a chance to visit. It is the first time I visit a castle which is both a museum with incredible pieces, passionate guides in each room who volunteer information and are visibly enraptured with their surroundings, and a lived-in castle with a cosy atmosphere. Thank you!

A wonderful place to visit. We were there over half term week & there were plenty of activities for school age children. We opted for the dry moat guided tour. Our guide was very enthusiastic & extremely good at explaining the history of the castle & grounds. He involved both adults & kids in the stories he had to tell, which really brought history to life. It is well worth doing a guided tour. We then went inside the castle, the volunteers in the rooms were very good at explaining more details about the various rooms. The bedrooms were particularly interesting. Its good to know they are still being used by the current family who live there when they have visitors to stay. We spent nearly 3 hours overall & we would definitely recommend. Thank you.

We had an amazing day out at Arundel. One of the best kept and presented heritage sites we’ve ever been to. Good food in the cafe and lovely gardens - despite it being October - which you can wander around in for hours. The real highlight, however, was the staff. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful. We’d like to shout out Sophie the guide in particular, who gave us such a detailed explanation of the Castle’s history and told us about various paintings to look out for when we told her that’s what we were interested in. She was so engaging and enthusiastic, and we couldn’t believe how much knowledge she had! Well done to all, we’ll definitely be coming back.

Whilst on holiday I was very excited to see the castle gardens, everywhere we turned in the grounds there was a beautiful view and so much colour. We spent a lot of time sitting near the water features as well as looking at the cosmos just taking it all in. The castle itself was a delight, having seen a few historic properties this was one of the most enjoyable and with such breath taking rooms. The cafe was also well worth a visit!

Not cheap but worth it. We chose probably the busiest day of the year - Easter Saturday, first fine weather for ages, and mediaeval fair. Yes, the cafe had a long queue but otherwise the castle coped with the numbers. The staff were really friendly and infomative. The castle, its contents and the history were excellent. I never saw a guide book on the way in. I guess wifi would be patchy given the thick stone walls, so an app wouldn't work. Be warned that the stairs up and down from the battlements of the keep are steep and narrow. Very small children may have a problem getting down, even if they could get up, so there was a short queue to descend. The cafe food was high quality, and prices are probably what you would expect these days. Highly recommended. I would have chosen gift aid, except it cost extra, which is curious, I think they are missing out here.
