Wonderful place. It's unchanged structurally since the late sixteenth century and dates back in part to the 1300s. Beautiful and atmospheric. Lots of historical interest. Most and gatehouse. Good teashop and gift shop. What I liked most was that it is a real family home still. No roped off areas, few explanatory signs (but great, helpful, knowledgeable guides). You get the sense that when the visitors and the guides have left the owners will just step back in with no changes made. I would have liked to know more about the current Lord Saye and Sele who seems to be a remarkable character.

A little gem nearby Oxford that's worth a half day trip. More a fortified grand mansion than a castle with battlements and turrets, it nevertheless has the essential moat and a distinguished history dating back to the Magna Carta where the first Lord was a signatory of the historical deed. There are lovely rooms manned by knowledgeable stewards and a roof top view of the surrounding countryside, which if you are fortunate, may have the Lord of the castle himself providing the tour narrative. If you're lucky, you could be there when the rose garden is in full bloom.

We enjoyed seeing the gardens, especially the view from the castle rooftop. Parterre was spectacular. We had a private tour of the castle which was very interesting.

My first visit to this the castle a few years ago it wasn't open, hence this return visit. This place is a must see , great grounds , great castle and moat. Historic house members get in free and entry when I visited was only on a Sunday and Wednesday 2pm-5pm (check before visiting). There are plenty of rooms to look at and there are knowledgeable volunteers in each room along with information booklets. You also get access to the roof which gives you wonderful views across the moat , grounds and countryside. There is a cafe and shop seperate to the castle . The only toilets on site are in the car park so use before you go in. Do check out the church as it has some wonderful tombs and wall art. Highly recommended
