Fantastic place especially the armour – over 1300 pieces – staff very helpful. Beautiful ‘Castle’ and garden – both well worth the visit. No need to by the guide book unless you want detailed info on the objects as each room has information cards in various languages. More

You only get to see part of the building as the owners live there. Some impressive rooms and anecdotes from the very pleasant and knowledgeable staff. The gardens are extremely poor, mostly covered in weeds and look badly neglected. There were signs of planting about to take place but don't get too excited as a lot were lupins. This was... More

Very expensive - the Duke of Argyll must be living in some style! Some displays of interest but old tat included. Not great for teenagers. More
