The sign said the castle was open on Sundays and Thursdays. Theres the remains of some curtain wall and a couple of towers behind the house.
There's a clump of castles around 30 miles SW of Exeter - Berry Pomeroy (EH) is a ruin, late fortified front but interior entirely and repeatedly remodeled as a house. Compton (NT) is a nice fortified manor, the interior is all modern, but it's got some nice machicolations
Totnes is a classic shell keep (but shuts at 3.30 not 4 as it says on their publicity mutter, mutter).
Dartmouth (EH) is about 15 miles further on, it's a nice henrician coastal fort with attached 19th century battery
While Okehampton (EH) (25 miles west of exeter)looks quite good it is shut from october to may.
