Fantastic must see Castle. Plenty of parkingnwith a five minute walk to the castle. What a veiw walking up the drive. Staff are great. Yhe tour is a real wonderful Peak into the place, local and national history. Gardens are spectacular are as the veiws. There is a falconary show with a great display that is a must see especially for the kids as the bird swoop and fly across the crowds. No wigs were harmed in the making of the event. 😀 Take time to have a look in the museum. Not for everyone as it itls filled with taxidermy but the Pictish stones on display again facinating bit of the history of the area. It is a good day out! Take your time and soak up the history and all.of the veiws.

The castle is beautiful and impressive, with a grand and elegant appearance. The gardens are stunning and well maintained, perfect for a relaxing walk and taking in the views. There is plenty of space to explore and enjoy the surroundings. One of the highlights was the falconry show, which was very interesting and worth seeing. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to visit, and we would definitely recommend it!

This is an amazing Castle that has been very well cared for and beautifully maintained. There are so many fascinating rooms that give you a real sense of the past. This is one of the best stately buildings I have visited. It has a very interesting museum of the gentry of the time and how the went on safaris and preserved the animals and birds the caught. They also have a few beautiful birds of prey. Gardens that are so well kept. Great day out. Definitely pay them a visit if you are in the area.

Absolutely beautiful, lots of good history, lots to see, amazing views, lovely gardens, and a very interesting falconry show. Must love steep stairs to get down to the gardens though. Crowded, and only one sign to explain the room per room, which added to the crowding.
