Visited on a warm and sunny May day . First impressions were of a large and well kept estate with a wonderful selection of shrubs and trees. Staff at entry were very helpful. A lift service is available for those in need. The entrance hall is very imposing with a generous use of expensive marble and stained glass. The drawing room must be one of the best in Scotland. Upstairs a selection of bedrooms are on display which include a 1930s style en suite. Only negative comment on the house is the lack of family memorabilia on display. Sadly the house is no longer lived in ,and does have a bit of a museum atmosphere! Surely this could be resolved with a little imagination. Also no mention at all of the former servants , who must have played a major role in running such a large house. A good cafe is available, with a pleasant area for outdoor eating. The estate has some fine walks ,which include some loops which take in a very attractive foreshore. Well worth a visit to one of Scotlands great houses.

Mount Stuart is absolutely beautiful! Every room we went into was more beautiful than the other. Drew was extremely knowledgable and gave us some great history on the house! He was fantastic! We had an amazing time and even the pouring rain couldn’t spoil the day! It is a must see for everyone!

This is a jaw-dropping house with so much detailed craftsmanship inside, what a stunner! We had a private tour and Margaret and Liam were very knowledgeable, while also accommodating my mum in a wheelchair. We can't thank them enough for making our visit to this special place even more special. It would be great to be able to use a buggy or borrow a wheelchair outside so my mum could see the extensive grounds.

Brilliant hidden gem. The house is fantastic to look at outside but wait till you go inside!! Stunning. The gardens are also worth taking time to walk around - better if you can go when weather has been fine as some walks are through woods. It was a very rainy day so we did not get to see all we could have but if we are around that way again we will go in for sure.

I am not really one for stately homes, but I am so glad I went here! I thought I would spend an hour or 2 here, but spent 4 hours - mostly looking round the gardens and eating my picnic on the beach area. It is a wonderful place where you will say "wow" at almost every turn

Great history of the Stuarts and their link to our Royal Family. Amazing building, just loving the beautiful white marble chapel and the atrium looking up to the beautiful ceiling showing the constellation of the stars. Love the bedroom of the 3rd Marquis of Bute with his conservatory next to the pillars and beautiful doors, though there was not a lot of plants from my last visit and there were some plastic plants? Wonder what the 3rd Marquis would say to that?This is my second time here now but would so love for other rooms to be opened. I'm sorry but we did not like or appreciate the modern art by Alberta Whittle, sitting right in the atrium as soon as you walk into the house. Old doors?? It just took the look and feel away from the beautiful pillars etc. For us it all should have been in another room away from the grandeur of the house, not stuck in our faces as soon as we entered? It was great to walk around the estate and lucky enough that it was not raining. Not a lot of flowers though. Cute little shop with souvenirs and the carrot cake in the cafe was delicious. A very good place to while away a few hours. We are lucky to have it.

Lovely visit to Mount Stuart. A very impressive stately home set in beautiful gardens. The grandeur and decor is breathtaking- such opulence. Knowledgeable guides in the rooms who are happy to answer questions.The gardens are also spectacular especially the rock garden. Easy to purchase tickets online. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Bute.

Everyone who visits Bute should definitely visit Mount Stuart. One of the most stunning buildings I have ever seen, and one of the best examples of Victorian Gothic architecture. I won't mention everything that can be seen in the house, but two of my favourites were the marble chapel and the 12 stained glass windows depicting the zodiac signs in the style of Greek Mythology. The staff within the house are highly knowledgeable and will answer all your questions. Staff at ticket office and café were lovely as well. In addition to the house, the grounds are also beautiful and are well worth a look on a nice day. The grounds are also perfect for people with dogs and cyclists. The house combined with the gardens can easily take yo a whole day and is a great trip for people of all ages to enjoy

Outstanding. Takes your breath away. Each room better than the next. A must. If you are on Bute book a visit you won’t be disappointed. The guides in each room are so warm and knowledgeable they bring the house to life. With the beautiful house and gardens and excellent wee cafe you can spend the full day xx

A beautiful house in lovely grounds. Had a lovely few hours looking about and enjoyed the history of the house. The attention to detail on the ceilings is just stunning and the marble is gorgeous. All staff very informative as well. Would recommend a visit.
