Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The castle itself was closed but I knew this, the grounds and nature reserve are open and add a point of interest if walking from Highcliffe (Chewton Bunny area) to Mudeford.

Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased you enjoyed your visit, and that the children with you had fun doing the Elf Hunt activity. It was great to see so many children exploring our lovely building. Look out for our February half term activities!

Went on 19th December after a walk from Avon beach, £2.50 entrance fee with an offer of a ‘behind the scenes’ tour. Very interesting history to the castle, Martin our tour guide was knowledgeable and very informative. Well worth the trip, would recommend. Just check if busy with weddings and that the cafe is open.

Really enjoyable visit combined with a lovely walk down to the beach. Lots of parking, you do need to pay. Check house opening times as it is a wedding venue Friday and Saturday. Interesting history, lots of information inside and helpful staff/volunteers. Don't expect furnished rooms, it had 2 fires in the 60's. Lots of work has been done to save it from demolition. Cafe and small shop.

Lovely gardens and view by the beach. The castle was good to visit, but the volunteers and tour guide were inconsiderate of visitors not on the tours or in the groups they were currently speaking to (the tour guide pushed our group out of the way to get to a panel instead of waiting or asking nicely and another volunteer talked very loudly over the top of a speaking object we had put a donation in so we could not hear the audio track). Cafe was a bit lacklustre but the stained glass exhibit was interesting.

Although called HIghcliffe Castle it is really a 19th century mansion and gardens (built 1831-1836) so don't expect a Norwich Castle type experience. Quite interesting reading about the people who lived there as you go around the property. Kaiser Bill, William Gladstone and Nancy Mitford are among the famous people who have stayed there. Harry Selfridge, founder of Selfridges in London, lived there from 1916 to 1922 and spent a lot of money on the property. Parking charges are low off peak, higher in the season. Didn't use the tearoom so cannot comment on it. Ok to fill a couple of hours if in the area and looking for something to do. Has suffered two major fires in the 20th century and was left a ruin for 20 years so much of the history lost. The entry fee of £6.50 for Senior Citizens is just about what its worth. Also now used as a wedding venue which probably raises useful sums to help in its upkeep.

A very disappointing place. The gardens are sad with tiny stones all over lawns. The place is not a castle and it has very little to offer inside, other than a shop selling products that are overpriced and mostly from other parts of the world not Highcliffe. Even the books are the usual David Wulliams you can buy anywhere cheaper. Finally, you will be lucky to find the place open especially when the council prefer to make money from weddings instead. Overall the gardens are very disappointing with plenty of mud instead of proper pathways around surrounding grounds.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your visit, and we hope to be able to address some of your points below.
Regarding the grounds, we do have a team of gardeners who work hard to ensure the grounds look their best, but it may have been that on the day of your visit some stones from our gravel paths had unfortunately spilled over onto the lawn.
We believe that the building was originally named Highcliffe Castle by locals when it was first built, perhaps to differentiate it from nearby Highcliffe Village. We do try to give visitors an accurate description of what we have here, on our website and other publicity materials, as we are unique to other castles, being rather a stately home than a defensive building and built by Stuart de Rothesay in the 1830s.
We are sorry you didn't find anything in the shop that you wanted to purchase. We try to offer a selection of products to suit our range of visitors, not all of which can be sourced locally. We do already stock a variety of local suppliers including Dorset Honey, Studio Pickle earrings, From Dorset with Love jams and preserves, New Forest Shortbread, amongst others, but we will continue to look for other local suppliers we may be able to stock with in the future. The David Walliams books were made available to coincide with our outdoor production of 'Awful Auntie' this year, so that anyone enjoying the show could purchase a book too if wanted.
We are open to visitors from Sunday to Thursday during the season and have a team of very knowledgeable Room Guides, keen to share the Castle's fascinating history with visitors: detailing its journey from a wealthy aristocrat’s cliff top home to a fire ravaged ruin, and its subsequent programme of restoration.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review, we hope you may consider visiting Highcliffe Castle again sometime in the future.

It's a most unusual castle. The exterior is stunning. The interior is a shadow of its former self but really well displayed and described. Excellent for both adults and children. (There is a whole room of clothes for dressing up.) The grounds are lovely and there is easy access to the beach below.

Yes its expensive for what you are able to see. Explore the grounds and enjoy the beach attached. Not worth the money to visit the house.

Hi we will be travelling from Bournemouth pier area to Highcliffe Castle via bus. Could anyone please advise best way to travel back via Hengistbury Head? All public transport/ walking though not extensive walking as with young child. I keep reading about ferries to Hengistbury but finding negotiating this route really confusing
justlettinuno
Watford, UK142 bidrag
Probably too late, but on Hengisbury you can take the 'road train’ which takes you from close to the ferry dock up to the cafe, half way back to ‘Southbourne’ hence half the walk:

Dogs are welcome around the gardens, not sure whether they're meant to be kept on leads or not but they seemed to be running free on the beach, hope that helps.
