Where this list comes from
Castles get onto this list one of two ways. Most are here because a real visitor named a tea room, tearoom or cafe in a Google review - where they did, their words are on the card. The rest are here because the castle's own site confirms one. A genuine tea room can still be missing if neither a review nor the operator's own pages have told us about it yet.
Always check before you book
Opening days and hours for castle tea rooms vary a lot by season, and some close entirely over winter. Check the castle's own page (linked from every entry) for current hours before you travel.
