My wife and I booked online and received an online discount. The welcome was exceptional the route around the castle well thought out and you get a lot for your money with the guide book. The gift shop had some very nice local items in as well, the tea rooms made a very good tea and coffee and the slice... More

Visited on a windy day and managed a quick tour of the gardens between showers. A large group meetiing in the dining room meant we had to look round the rest of the castle first but this was not important. Self-guided tour with (somewhat limited) information sheets in each room (they only outlined the main points). When asked the staff... More

This was a great visit. Whilst you can arrange a special tour it is easy to go around on your own. Each room has its own "information sheet" in several languages and these were some of the best written we have read. Just the right amount of interesting information, All exhibits are also well identified. This is a family home... More

We had our mum with us who is in 80's and needs a stick to walk but they couldn't be more helpful and she really enjoyed the rooms downstairs that she was able to access. We were able to park the car right outside the main door - felt like royalty.

Very interesting with a lot of personal touches from the present Duke and family as well as its long history. Very well maintained and presented. The hall has walls of spears, rifles and other weaponry, which emphasise the history of the Highland regiments. Very friendly and helpful staff. The gardens are well laid out and included in the admission price.

The Castle was gorgeous, it was just a shame about the soggy weather so we couldn't enjoy the gardens. Dee in the admissions box was absolutely lush, and we'd come back just to see her (:

We enjoyed a tour of this fascinating castle which was featured in Downton Abbey. There were some Gainsborough paintings and plenty of staff to talk through interesting aspects of the history of the castle and its occupants. There were pleasant gardens to enjoy, albeit we were there on a wet and dreary day

What a lovely castle to go round. We really enjoyed a tour round Inverary Castle on sunday. The tour guide was very good. Well worth the journey across to visit.

It is a lovely family home and has a family feel. The views to the Loch are magnificent. It is where the christmas Downton Abbey was filmed. Wonderful artefacts and paintings. It was nice to see photos of the family.

A hidden gem. Great staff who will fill you in on the history of the castle and the Campbell family. Some wonderful items on display in the public rooms. Well worth a visit as is the walk up Dun-Na-Quaich (the stone tower on the hill above the castle) for stunning views (it's a medium walk and takes about an hour... More
