A very interesting historical castle which is still inhabited. The owner added personal touches with family photographs and family tree. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Attractive grounds to walk around with near by public footpaths.

Decided to get up to the south lakes i have been before to Sizergh castle but that was a long time ago 10+ years at least. The weather was fantastic and a real nice spring day. We went round the gardens which are stunning i must add and sat and eat ice cream. The castle is a real gem built... More

During a recent holiday in the Lake District, my wife and I and two friends visited Sizer Castle, which is a National Trust property. This was a thoroughly enjoyable visit and we all enjoyed our time there. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the castle was extremely interesting and full of history. The volunteers around the castle were... More

We went on a Bank Holiday Monday, which meant it was busy, but not overly so. We were given a time to visit the house, leaving us plenty of time to go and explore the gardens.

The staff couldn't have been more helpful when they saw we had a baby, and guided us to accessible routes round the garden, etc. They also... More

the house looks quite plain but inside is fascinating and lovely gardens and loads of nature walks to explore the area

We visited Sizergh recently with our young children. We received a great welcome and were provided with some good activities for the children to do. The public rooms of the house are interesting without being overwhelming. The day we visited was very cold and so it was a little unpleasant outside, however we saw enough to encourage us to return... More

Visited earlier today. Signposting is excellent, the car park adequate and well laid out. A smart café, with clean toilets. Food prices are very reasonable and decent quality. The grounds are not massive, but an impressive sight. The castle itself looks more impressive from the outside and the interior was not up to the same standard. Rather gloomy, in half... More
