Lovely place to break our journey to Cornwall, so much nicer than motorway services. dog friendly outside seating. Have been round Castle on previous visits which is a fantastic ‘modern’ castle. Well worth visit if you have a few hours.

Lovely cafe at Castle Drogo. We had a great lunch here after a humid hike from Fingle bridge through Tiegn Valley before starting the walk back after a visit to the castle.

Queued and then both assistants got busy and just took ages with people showing no awareness of others around them. Chop chop. Parking is £7.50 for more than 2 hours and you need just over 2 hours for the local hiking. Somewhat annoying when I later found that parking at Fingle Bridge would be free. Live and learn. The Castle Drogo tea shop is very good.

Food was overpriced for the lack of service and the do it yourself approach to the dining experience. I know they want to make 5th a premium is added to all items to help preserve the estate, but sometimes they could do better offers as the membership is helping with this, and a discount could be offered to members who support the various venues.

closed to castle/gardens public day we went but took the walk beginning there anyway and that was cool. Shame charge a lot for NT parking if not a member but as a green should encourage more to walk/cycle/train etc.

Met some friends there who were on holiday. Spent 3 hours there chatting and catching up over lunch and afternoon tea. It was wonderful. One day, as we live close, we will go back and see the Castle!!

Gotta love a national trust day out ! We have been before but learned more again about the place with the lovely interesting volunteers that are dotted around the castle. The castle itself is beautiful and easy walk from the car park through the cafe /entrance and lovely views along the way (about 10min walk) we sat in the stunningly kept gardens after under a tree canopy for shade. Lovely few hours out ended with coffee and delicious cake !

The castle looks a bit unusual as it's the newest in the UK built in the 1930s. Amazing seeing all the ways things were done when it was in use. It was fitted with among other things an internal switch board for changing calls. Never seen one in real life! The castle itself isn't huge but really interesting. Recommend.

The Castle Drogo Café is run by the National Trust and they do a very good job of sourcing local produce and products, they have a good selection of hot food, sandwiches and cakes. They also do children's (healthy) lunch boxes so good for families. It is all on one level with sloping footpaths from the carpark that is close by. Local friendly staff make you feel very welcome. All in all very nice.

This is my second visit and I wasn't disappointed. The cafe is very spacious and a good addition to the main attraction....the castle! I only had coffee as it was fairly early and I wanted to proceed to the newly renovated castle. The coffee was a welcome distraction after an hour long drive. After looking around the castle and gardens, I popped back for a cup of tea. I didn't eat anything as I am on a diet but I could see that they had a good selection of cakes, scones etc.

Excellent cafe and great service. Small issue with a cheese scone sorted out with no drama. We had put it in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm up but this was to long and scone went soft inside. They replaced scone and suggested 20 seconds was the max time to heat up.
