I have always wanted to visit this castle as pictures of it have been on the front of chocolate and shortbread tins for many years. We were rather disappointed to find that bright green scaffolding due to renovation work spoiled our view of this famous castle - such a shame as we had hoped to take some good photographs. We...

As several recent reviews, the castle is undergoing renovations and it's nearly impossible to take a picture of it from the outside that doesn't feature bright green scaffolding or a portaloo. The renovation company has made absolutely no concession for tourism so I would strongly recommend you either wait until reservations are done or manage your expectations accordingly. This review...

Nice castle for sure, not huge, but the setup around the water and the bridge makes for great pictures. from far, they were doing construction on it which is kind of an eye sore, seemed like it has been like that for a while. We didn't seem to spend more than about 30 minutes or so though in the castle.

What I chalked up as an average castle visit turned out to be a nice visit for my family and our friends with which we travelled. The castle itself is a bit bland to look at, but makes up for it being on and island at the confluence of three lochs accessible by an arched bridge. I'm not clear about... More

I have heard and read so much about this Castle and when visited it was very disappointing. It is currently undergoing some renovations, which is understandable, but overall it was not a great visit or impressive place to visit. So, I would regard it as a very average place to stop and visit.

Eilean Donan is quite famous and the downside is that it can get crowded, but it's not one of those places where people rush you off so other people can come in. You are there on your own and you can spend as much time exploring it as you want. It is worth exploring. Not huge, but lovely and very... More

The lovely girl waitresses are so nice and helpful with the tasty hot food. Interesting art work and photographs. Great view, good range of eats.
