Courtenay Cafe

I am absolutely thrilled to write a glowing review for the exceptional wedding planner and stunning venue that made our special day an unforgettable experience. Despite a change with our wedding planner, Tim stepped in and managed everything to make our day perfect. His dedication and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire planning process. He was very communicative throughout and hugely charming and helpful for both us as a couple and towards each of our guests. His ability to orchestrate various elements and vendors made the entire day feel effortless for us, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment. His calm and reassuring demeanour provided us with the confidence that everything was in capable hands. Powderham Castle as a venue was nothing short of perfection. The moment we stepped onto the grounds, we were captivated by its charm and beauty. The venue's ambiance created an enchanting atmosphere that set the tone for our magical day. Every corner seemed to hold a unique touch, and it felt truly special to have our own personal history in such a historic building. Further to this, Powderham were kind enough to allow their petting zoo to visit our wedding - which was a huge delight to all of our guests; this made it so memorable and unique for us. Our experience with the wedding planner and the venue was beyond remarkable. Their combined efforts created a seamless, unforgettable, and truly magical day for us and our guests. We are immensely grateful for their dedication, professionalism, and the genuine care they put into making our wedding a once-in-a-lifetime event. If you're seeking an extraordinary wedding planner and a venue that radiates charm and elegance, look no further. They have our highest recommendation and sincere gratitude for making our dreams come true.

Great castle owned by the Earl of Devon. Well worth a visit the castle is worth a look around and they even let dogs inside. The grounds are lovely with Deer roaming everywhere

A lovely Sunday at the Powderham Food Festival! Lovely stalls! Great food! Would not advise bringing your dog to this event as it was very busy.

I have always heard about powderham castle and surprisingly around this area, I bought my first car. Right, let's get to it. Firstly, the castle entrance fee is very affordable and they offer discounts to various support workers. The tour guide inside the castle is very entertaining and he is hilarious. He definitely knows his history because his great great great great grandfather used to work there as well. The story behind the castle has captured my imagination and I am pretty sure it will capture yours too. Secondly, the café area is a must try because the staff over there are so friendly and courteous. The garden is stunning as well and it is captivating. Lastly, the staff will always tell you to take your time walking around the castle and discover other parts of the map inside the 🏰. I am hoping I can share all this with each and every one of you guys. But, I guess you will just have to see it for yourself.

Second visit we've done. The last time was 6 years ago, and it's just as good as I remember. This time, there was a Falconry display, which was brilliant. Would advise to bring a picnic as the café there doesn't have a huge choice (sandwiches and sausage rolls etc) and when we popped in at 3 they had pretty much sold out, they had cakes and traybakes though. Beautiful house with an enthusiastic tour guide, lovely grounds and petting zoo etc. Would definitely recommend.
