I have the exact same problem, I was thinking it was because I found the castle before I stumbled upon the bloodline quest because the gate keeper keeps telling me go away like he did when I first found it. I found an alternative way to get in by clipping through the wall, once I got passed the iron gates it was still the same dialogue with the gate keeper but I was able to enter the castle and continue on with the quest. With out spoiling the final part of the bloodline quest your given two options at the end, (I'm sure it doesn't take a genius to work out what it is). Anyway! one results in you having access to the castle, BUT!!! That God damn gate is still closed and your unable to pass it without clipping through the wall again. IF you want to gain acess via cliping through the wall you'll have to first have an object in your inventory with a flat base object such as a plate or bowl (although you dont necessarily have to use a flat based objects it does tend to be easier, I used a wooden plate and it worked well) Second drop the object out of your inventory. Third pick the object up with the grab button, You know when you hold the A button!?!? Fourth with the object in your hand jump up onto the waist high wall on the right hand side of the bridge. And fifth while on top of the waist high wall walk towards the angled wall on the right side of the iron gate with the object your holding, you will see as your walking into the wall the object your holding seems to glitch in and out of the wall this means it's working keep pushing and you caracter will end up glitching through it him/herself. For me I really don't like relying on glitches to progress through the story so I really appreciate if someone posted an actual solution for this bug. Thanks guys☺ hope my part helped too.

This workaround was very easy for me to do. Thanks for posting.
