Well worth a visit. If you go here expect a great day out. Food is a little pricey but then it's the same at all of these places. Fully reccomend

Kids will love this Castle, rides, gnomes and water what more do they love. Take a bag of 2ps and 10ps with you as lots of old gaming machines, but they don't rip you off a £1 of each is more than enough. Food is good and quiet reasonable. Lots of walking but wheelchair friendly but mostly up hills.Mainly for... More

We decided to take a visit somewhere local that we hadn't been before, the weather was average and we wanted somewhere to go different. We arrived early and yes it was £27 for 2 adults and a child but I expected that (Alton Towers is double that each lol) We had lots of fun on the cheap slot machines and... More

We came here last year and enjoyed it so much decided to come again and it wasn't a let down. You can't quite describe this attraction as its so unique. The castle itself has such a varied musuem and also dancing robots, a massive train set, dungeons and then scenes from disney films. Outside of the castle is an amazing... More

Very expensive to go in cost us nearly £30 to get in two adults and a one year old. First was a walk through the castle .. Very weird and eerie 'attractions' to look at and lots of opportunities for you to spend your pennies, and 10ps. Then through to the dungeon. We rushed through the whole castle walk through... More

On first entering, with our two young boys, we were struck by the oddness of it all, as we followed the prescribed route round the castle, taking in singing robots, carnival elephants and train sets along the way. The dungeon was possibly stranger still, with archaic scenes of Disney films alongside ghoulish vampires and ghosts, very bizarre! We were utterly... More

Had driven past but until now had never visited. Turns out to be the greatest day of our holiday. My four year old loved it. The staff were exceptional. Hard to explain as watermouth castle has so many things going on. Well worth the trip and will be visiting again when we visit devon again. Save up your 2ps....u will... More

We were staying in Croyde Bay for a week and took the grand kids (1, 4 and 6) to the castle on one of our days out. It's certainly different than your average amusement park and some parts are quite eccentric and quirky but it's set in lovely grounds and the rides were perfect for the 4 and 6 year... More

A beautiful castle set in a typically English country side, easy to find, free carparking if I recall correctly, breath taking upon arrival at the size of the castle. -dare I say a little expensive for entrance tickets, I realise the over head bills must be costly but it is pricey to get in if i'm really honest but then...

We went to Watermouth Castle today, 8 adults and 2 children, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Mums, Dads and Children. We had a wonderful day out. It is extremely good value for money. It isn't 'run of the mill', its very eccentric and incredibly pretty. The gardens are a delight, the views are stunning and the rides are great fun. It is... More
