The rooms inside the castle are stunning. But there really aren't very many of them accessible to visitors, as it is still a private residence, and being British I have seen a great many stately homes and castles. I didn't feel entirely cheated out of my £9 as it was still an enjoyable wander, but I do feel I could... more

Fantastic castle, steeped in the history and traditions of the Clan Campbell and the Highlands. The displays within the castle are fascinating which tell the history of the Campbell's once the most powerful clan in the Highlands. The castle interiors are beautiful. However the castle is not just a museum, but is still a family home and as such as... more

When my 6-year-old son saw the eye-widening display of old weapons up as far as the eye could see on the walls at Inveraray Castle, he thought all his Christmases had come at once. My daughter, meanwhile, was riveted by the mixture of old (gorgeous tapestries, huge full-length portraits and fully dressed-up mannequin footmen) with new (lots of photos of... more

We had a wonderful visit to Inverary Castle with out two boys. They loved it and the staff were so child friendly it was a real breath of fresh air. We ate lunch in the cafe which was also a big hit — I think changed quite a lot since out last visit four years ago. We then walked (and... more

I want to report a fantastic trip to Inveraray Castle. My family had a delcious tea in the cafe and loved the shop too. However, the best bit by far is the castle itself with magnificent rooms and really helpful staff. It is a superb venue for events, I wish I could get married all over again! more

We were utterly charmed by our visit to the seat of the Clan Campbell, whose head, the Duke of Argyll, offers an outstanding historic visitor attraction. Its location is one of the most romantic I've ever visited with its stunning views over the majestic Loch Fyne. I was particularly impressed by the welcome the guides gave and their informed and... more

We spent the most magical two hours touring the castle. It had something for all the family. Stunning architecture and artworks, friendly guides and great food in the tea room. I recommend spending at least two hours if you want to experience the castle and more if you are a keen walker or a garden enthusiast. Take a camera and... more

Inveraray Castle is a breath-taking spectacle: a French-style chateau, foursquare with drum-like towers at each corner in slate-green granite. It overlooks Loch Fyne beside the River Aray and the little black and white town of Inveraray built by an ancestor of the present Duke of Argyll. I visited Inveraray 2 weeks ago with my husband amid drifts of daffodils, and... more

We visited Inverary last summer with two young boys - the castle is beautiful, overlooking Loch Fyne with the hills behind and a lovely walk around the grounds. Good tour with excellent child friendly ghost stories and we even saw the Duke walking around the gardens with his family and meeting visitors so it felt like a family home. Would... more
