Visit websiteThe most comprehensive and informative historical tour I've had the pleasure of participating in! Beautiful grounds and friendly people around. Would recommend it for a lovely day out!
Just wonderful. Delightful people working there. Super lunch (best bread I've had in ages!). Gorgeous views from the maze garden, and fantastic drive up to the house - equal to the Windsor castle one!!
We visit Hoghton Tower quite regularly both to visit the gardens and for their events. Most recently we attended the medieval revival and took part in an introductory graffiti tour and the full dungeon tour. The staff who conduct the trial and punishment performance are absolutely outstanding and should have their own stage! The grounds are beautiful and well kept and the buildings and cafe and lovely. I always recommend people to visit here and I recommend their events.
Here’s your review with emojis added naturally: We recently visited Hoghton Tower for the afternoon tea experience and everything was absolutely top notch ☕✨ From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel genuinely welcome by the staff, who were friendly, attentive, and happy to share their knowledge about the estate 😊 Keith and George gave us fascinating insights into the history of the castle 🏰, which really brought the place to life. Wojtek kindly showed us some of the hidden corners of the gardens 🌿🌸, making the visit feel even more special. During the tea, Jess and Amelia provided fantastic service – warm, professional, and attentive throughout 👏 Overall, a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable day out 🌟
We visited for the Easter dragon egg hunt and the kids had a great time. It is a lovely place to spend a day or even just half a day, and I would definitely recommend it for events like this. Whoever the actors were playing the dragon riders were absolutely amazing, very entertaining, and stayed fully in character the whole time. Unfortunately, we did not get the chance to try the restaurant, but it looked and smelled lovely. The toilets were clean, the facilities were well maintained, and the gardens were beautifully kept. Overall, a really enjoyable experience for families.
