I have visited House of Dun a few times but I am always happy to return. On my recent visit, I was lucky to have Carol as a tour guide with a small group of others. Carol made the tour enjoyable as well as interesting as she is such a character. She is certainly an asset to the lovely House of Dun team. A very enjoyable and memorable day.

They have guided tours round the house where the guides dress as someone from the history of the house. Our guide, Colin, was playing the part of a mid Victorian estate manager. He looked every inch the part. Colin came over as well informed and enthusiastic. He was able to answer all our group's questions. Indeed he seemed pleased that we interested enough to ask him things. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, the best guide I have had in 30 years of going round properties.

Our tour guide (Carol or Caroline, I think) was really entertaining and informative. She was really good with my 8 year old son, making him her helper on the tour, which made his day. It's a really interesting house and Carol was able to bring the history of the place to life. The grounds are a lovely place for a wander as well and it's well worth a family day out. Thanks!

The estate was spotless with ample car parking. We got a lovely warm welcome from Fiona in the shop. However the tour guide, who was dressed as a Victorian estate manager, was exceptional. Knowledgeable, funny, and happy to answer numerous questions from our eight-year-old daughter. It was the tour guide that made this a five star visit. I had read reviews of the house tour prior to arrival, however the guide still exceeded my expectations.

Since moving close to the area we have visited on numerous occasions as we love it so much! Beautiful house, stunning walks, amazingly helpful and friendly staff everywhere! The tour of the house by ‘William Young’ was fantastic and they always have events on. The cafe is great, the toilets are warm and spotlessly clean and the shop has lovely stuff! To top it off it’s so dog friendly and my two dogs love it there too!

Visited for the first time today - 27.1.24 and went on the guided tour at 1:15 led by Colin. Our whole experience at House of Dun was fantastic. Colin was an exceptional guide - friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and really brought the history of the house alive. We loved the tour. Fiona was so helpful when we phoned before our visit to check availability of the tour and she was so welcoming when we arrived. Staff and food in the cafe were great. The house, gardens and Folk museum are really interesting and well worth a visit. Longer walks in the extensive grounds are available. We will definitely return. Thank you for a great visit and well done to an exceptional staff team who are a credit to NTS.

House tour was AMAZING and so were all the staff. I also have to disagree with a previous review; we found the staff in the cafe extremely pleasant. We had a lovely, fresh homemade soup for lunch and good quality coffee. Lovely walks of varying degrees of difficulty; what a wonderful find!

Visited House of Dun for the 1st time today. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit/tour. Colin was an exceptional tour guide, very informative & kept us entertained. Will definitely visit again. Cafe was also very good, staff very friendly.

We visited House of Dun yesterday for the first time. We thought it was a beautiful property and our tour guide Colin was a fountain of knowledge and extremely personable. My sister took her 11 year old twin boys and they really enjoyed it too. We had some tasty food in the cafe and followed it with a lovely walk along the well maintained tracks through the woods. Definitely a place we will visit again in the summer.

We decided to visit on a sunny Sunday and was not disappointed. Our guide, who was the charater of the Estate Manager from the Victorian times, was amazing. Very informative, friendly and very knowledgeable. Had a lovely lunch in the cafe too. Only disappointment was when we took a walk to the church. The family graves are in a mess, bearly readable, moss growing on them and rotting leaves all over. They have painted the fencing which makes me wonder why they wouldn't tidy the whole area.
