Check before going as visiting hours and days are fairly limited.This house has a very interesting history dating back to Mediaeval times and is well worth a couple of hours for anyone interested in history and/or art.The walled garden was marvellous (we visited in summer) and there is a wonderful view from the roof of the house. There are quite a lot of steps to get to the top.

Broughton Castle is a gem. We've visited a few times. My boys love going out on the roof. It's the sort of place you can imagine living in, as it's not enormous. We always take visitors to our house here. Everyone loves it.

Lovely and peaceful and reminded me of the film Three Men and A Little Lady shot there. The castle is intesting and the walled garden delightful.

Not a very well known castle but one you should see. It is owned by Lord Saye and Sele and the Fiennes family. The grounds are great too. Definitely worth a detour.

Thank you HeritageHawk for your kind review, and indeed to all the other people who visited Broughton Castle this year and took the trouble to leave TripAdvisor comments. We enjoy and learn from the comments - even the one bad one (who came in on a day when we weren't open) reminded us to improve our signage and encourage people to check on our website when we are open! Thanks again.

A real treat. History everywhere: building and contents, the moat, church and a wonderful atmosphere. There is a shop selling the usual gifts . Home cooked food was excellent. Beautiful gardens too.

If you've read William Fienne's Snow Geese or The music room you'll know Broughton Castle. Fiennes clearly loves every tile and stone of it and having visited I could understand that. It is a beautiful place, both the romantic castle of our imagination and the very specific family home of history. Not all of it was romantic though: one Fiennes had engraved over his doorway "It doens't help very much to remember the past". There are plenty of rooms to explore and it's clearly explained how the rooms have been adapted through the centuries. Best of all, you can climb to the turret where a 17th century Fiennes planned revolution and go out on to the roof and soak up the sun and the view. The gardens are beautiful - one gardener has replaced the 12 of a hundred years ago but you would never know it. Tea and cake are excellent and you can watch the English middle class rampant in its natural habitat,

Visited the castle during our recent stay in Oxfordshire - it isn't open every day so do check before going but it is well worth the entrance fee. Didn't realise the castle had been used as the location for so many films and TV programmes.

My wife and I recently visited Broughton Castle, Banbury, Oxfordshiire. I can honestly say this was one of the most interesting and enjoyable visits to a stately home we have ever made - and we've made quite a few!The Castle is a mediaeval, moated manor house which is still owned and occupied by the Saye and Sele family. It is an absolute gem. The 'public rooms' like the mediaeval great hall are exquisitely restored and maintained and are a true 'back in time' adventure. The Saye and Sele family were supporters of Oliver Cromwell and in a small room in the roof is the chamber where clandestine meetings of parliamentarians were held. Everything about this place is just wonderful - and even the rooms open to the public make one feel that it is still a home which is lived in and loved. Members of the family, including Lord Saye and Sele were on hand to help and advise and one is permitted to wander virtually at will.The gardens and grounds are lovely and there is a very good tea room and shop. Entry fees are quite reasonable with a small concession to the elderly etc.The Castle is not open all the time so if you plan to go check the website.If you want a good lunch before your visit, we can thoroughly recommend The Saye and Sele Arms nearby. Truly excellent food (not cheap, but fairly priced) and friendly, courteous service.Try one of the pies - a revelation!

Visited here on a Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed looking around this lived in historical home. It was so clean everywhere (toilets/café/castle) and the guides were friendly and approachable. There are quite a few stairs to get to the rooms at the top of the castle (and to the roof for the view) but there were handrails and plenty of chairs on landings to sit and rest. Gardens were pleasant but not extensive, a lovely walled garden and then the outer pasture land within the Moat. Café in the stables was pleasant with a lovely pot of tea and plenty of cake(s) to choose from. Well worth visiting. Sign posts to the Castle are not great but head for Broughton and you should find it.
