Belvoir Castle Recenzje 155

Absolute scam with the parking! I paid my parking on exit as told by the belvoir castle staff at the entrance and wow I’ve received a lovely £100 fine! Absolutely disgusted and appalled that belvoir castle think it’s an acceptable way to treat their customers and the patronising and rude attitude in their responses to these reviews on here says it all, they don’t give a damn! The fact you can’t even speak to anyone on the phone about it says what robbers they are, I will be letting others know not to visit and I certainly won’t ever be returning!

My first visit to Belvoir Castle on 18/07/21 will almost certainly be my last. I have received a car parking fine of £100. Staff told me on entry to pay at machine on exit which I duly did as machine said I owed £2.20. This was entry at 13.28 and exit 16.05 (this time included one free hour). I appealed this morning and got reply straight back rejecting it. You are invited to appeal to independent POPLA but warned if you do and lose you cannot pay reduced fine. This set up is totally appalling and quite frankly think the onus certainly lies with Belvoir Castle for allowing this to continue on their land.

Can only book afternoon tea for 2,4,6 people - there were 3 of us. We were told to book and pay for 4 and take a doggie bag home!!!! Absolutely crackers!!!!

Per some other reviews, have received unwarranted parking notice on return home. Signage says pay on exit, which I did. Parking time/charge is automated by machine, I paid the requested amount. Now have a demand for £100. I have appealed to Initial Parking but based on other reviews, I’m willing to wager my appeal will be rejected. I appreciate it is not Belvoir Castle who run the parking, although interestingly my receipt for parking payment shows the recipient as “Belvoir Castle” and not “Initial Parking”. Ultimately, parking is on the Castle’s land and they are allowing their customers to be ripped off by standing by and doing nothing when this happens (which, if Trip Adviser is anything to go by, is very often!). I will not be paying. Belvoir need to seriously reconsider their arrangement with Initial Parking because they are ruining customers’ visits.

We visited on saturday and were amazed at the parking charges - both carparks have free time but in one it's 2 hours free and the one by the castle is only 1 hour free.Why? They are opposite each other.
Considering we only saw one guide ( in the picture room and she was excellent ) the entry price is very expensive. We tried to have lunch in the castle restaurant - the wrong drinks were brought after a half hour wait and a complaint and were followed 10 minutes later by underfilled sandwiches which averaged £9 each. We had to even ask for forks to eat the dish of coldslaw.My gammon sandwich wasnt too bad but my husbands cheese and chutney sandwich had hardly any cheese in it and neither sandwich was filled to the edges , leaving about half an inch of bare bread on each all around. Such very poor service and so overpriced food! We left feeling we had been ripped off and couldnt wait to get out of the place.
The rose garden was superb but overall it wasnt worth

Booked online for gardens - no concessions for over 60's, then arrived to find charges for parking of which there is no mention on the website. Gardens mediocre - needing some attention, woodland walks ok with decent paths, can only think that the garden staff were furloughed last year and have yet to catch up so sorry to them.

Rubbish experience. I can only assume the manners family must be so desperate for cash they have to rob customers. charged twice for afternoon tea - no refund to date. Was given incorrect information by staff with regards parking and now have a £60 fine to pay! Beware! if you must visit this 3rd rate attraction pay very strict attention to the parking rules & do NOT under any circumstance trust any BC employee/volunteer...& i suggest you overpay because Initial Parking will fine you for any error! We recently moved to this area and we will never ever return, £130 for afternoon tea for 2! Go somewhere else...

£3.50 just to park your car?
You're having a laugh, drove straight out.

Fantastic Easter experience. Lovely warm welcome from the Easter Bunny with great Easter trail and goodies for the kids. Fabulous hot chocolate, sausage rolls & cupcakes enjoying the wonderful view. Thank you for a great day!

Went to the firework championship event here and it was amazing thoroughly enjoyed it! This weekend I’m going to concert at the castle with friends and can’t wait!!

Having booked to attend the Belvoir Castle ‘Christmas Treats’ Festive Food and Drinks Fair in 2019 and paid our £100 deposit the event was cancelled due to bad weather.
I was told that the Insurance company would repay the money paid - no repayment was made and no one wants to reply to us or take responsibility - so £100 down - do not trust anyone involved with this outfit!

My daughter travelled with her Italian friend to visit the castle as when she looked at their website it said it was open but on arrival was told it was closed due to a corporate event - when we called they said that it was on the website but we couldn't find it and was told that they are ONLY open at weekends - this must be one stately home that doesn't need the money for its upkeep .......... she then went to Burghley House and thoroughly enjoyed herself .......

Went to a wedding here. Absolutely great venue with amazing scenery.
