We were very pleasantly surprised, the castle was a great experience. Lisa led our tour and was perfect, knowledgeable and funny, full of unusual tidbits and ready to answer any questions. The tile work was extraordinary. The story of Mercer building the castle was important to appreciating the architecture. If in Doylestown, this is a must see….go to tile works next door if you can

We loved our 1-hour tour of this historic castle. The construction and tilework inside the house were intricate and unlike any place I had seen before. Our tour guide was courteous and knowledgeable. It was fun to learn the stories behind each room in the home. The building is very well maintained. I highly recommend visiting! Tip: the tour started right on schedule, so don’t be late!

What an interesting building. Walking through it was a lot of fun and our tour guide was very informative. I bought the book and that gives the layout of each floor. Very interesting design. This castle was a great find for us to take a day trip to see. Well worth it!

We live visiting castle and learning the history of the structures. This castle is a unique as the man who commissioned it and filled with the evolution of his tile work & inspirations from all around the world. In addition there are thousand of original books and pieces of furniture that are original to the property and those who lived there. Our tour guide was passionate about the contributions of Mercer and seemed to thoroughly enjoy telling the story. It takes about an hour and it's interesting to see the array of rooms and their progressive decoration.

Interesting tour. Lots of information and very interesting man and castle. I thought an hour tour might be a bit much, but there's so much to learn that the time flew by. Definitely worth a visit.

I really enjoyed seeing Fonthill Castle. It is such a unique building and the tiles and overall design were fascinating. Jeff, our tour guide, did a wonderful job. He was very knowledgeable of the building and pointed out many interesting aspects during the tour.

Our tour guide, Dotty, was incredibly informative and we really enjoyed our tour. It was our first time there and we didn't know what we were walking into. To really simplify it, imagine if Ikea opened a house to show off their products and had prospective buyers stay over to view the wares. Very cool to experience.

We live about 25 minutes away and have always wanted to visit but never got around to it. I’m so glad we finally did! Fonthill is such a unique place - equal parts weird, wonderful, mysterious and fascinating, it’s unlike any “home” you’ve ever been to (yes, it was the residence of one man, Henry Mercer). But the best part was our tour guide, Joe. He was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with patience and good humor. JUST GO - you’ll be glad you did. NOTE: This is not a tour for people that have mobility issues as there are many stairs involved.

A great place to spend an hour or two. Nancy, our tour guide, was excellent. And while we wish we could see even more of the interior behind some of the roped-off halls, we definitely got our money's worth. The place is incredible. I wouldn't bring kids, though: they wouldn't get it.
