Where this list comes from
Every castle here is listed because a real visitor named a tea room, tearoom or cafe in a Google review - not because we were told one exists. That means a genuine tea room can be missing here simply because it hasn't come up in a visitor's review 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.
