One of our stops on the Coastal Causeway Route. Our visit was to the gardens only as the castle isn't open to the public usually. Unfortunutely, this attraction was a tad underwhelming for us. This is probably because of the time of year, nothing in bloom etc. The museum was interesting, but the garden wasn't too much to shout about, and the forest route was all of a 10 minute walk around. The Past and Present section was not open, nor was the Shambles Workshop (though the workshop was closed due to personal reasons - fair enough. I think this place would be better during the later spring, into summer months. We probably spent about an hour here. I'd say the prices could do with being dropped during the low months as not much to see. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Visited walled garden and woodland walk on Easter Sunday. Walled garden will be lovely later in the year but not much to see at the moment. Woodland walk pleasant enough but quite short as others have said. £10 per adult far too much in my view.

myself, my husband and our three young children spent the night in pod 7 on Easter Monday. We had the most wonderful time. The setting is absolutely stunning and the pods were something really special. The kids loved the bunk beds and I loved wakening up to the sunrise over the sea. It was such a great stay and we had looked forward to it for a long time. So much so that I would like to book again but when I went to book I see that there is now a surcharge for the children. This is something I have noticed about some of what would be your competitors and was a real benefit to your pods. I feel that this extra cost is really unfair and unfortunate, particularly when there is such a financial squeeze on working families. I understand that you have a business to run but to have to pay a penalty to bring your children with you is a real drawback and does not need to be the case.

Walled garden lovely but so not worth the £30 we paid as a family of 4 to get in. Like always in the UK, massively overpriced. Woodland walk was disappointing, nice but very short trail. So many much nicer walks in the Glens and surrounding area for free. Edge of 'castle' can just about be glimpsed from grounds. We stretched our visit to just over an hour and that was including a picnic! Then walked through Glenarm to forest and viewed the back of the castle from the river path.

We enjoyed our visit here en route to the ferry although we were disappointed that the Castle was not open . I had to point out to the staff that even the website said the walled was closed when it wasn’t . Everything is of a very high standard and the views around were lovely , debatable whether it was good value for money .

The tour of the castle was just brilliant with the butler George. So interesting Didnt have a lot of time to see anything else but still plenty of colour in the garden considering how late in the season. Two nice eating places and we bought a sandwich to take away as we were a bit pushed for time being on a coach. We were also thrilled to see a red squirrel just a few feet away. Loved the items in the small aromatherapy shop. Very reasonable and a bit different.
