This castle was the most expensive out of the handle we visited in Scotland. The views and location were the most beautiful though. More

Something for everyone - lots of outdoor walks - beach, formal gardens, feed the ducks & swans in the park. If the weather is wild enjoy a cake & cup of tea in one of the cafes or admire the beautiful castle. More

If you have not been here, you just have to go. The Castle is stunning, the location fabulous. The cafe does good food and the gardens are amazing. The staff were all really helpful. We spent 5 hours here, mostly walking in the grounds which were spectacular. If you get the chance, definitely go, you'll love it. More

We visited when we were passing and were highly dissapointed, at a very high cost we were able to look at a castle, that if we pay a yearly membership for the Scotish trust we for less than the entrance fee, we could see any time. More

The grounds are beautiful, the food very good and the kids play area at the Swan Pond is fabulous. We've been through... More

Visit on 11 April 2012 with the family. Lucky with the weather. At the castle for 11.00am. Paid for entry to the castle & grounds. Really enjoyed our time. Went down to the pebble beach and walked along. Very picturesque. As over Easter, there were a number of families with children. Extensive grounds which are well worth a wonder. We... More

Really enjoyed our visit but did think it was a bit expensive. We love looking round the castle and my girls loved the Lego Man hunt. There so much to do we were there for hrs where some really nice shops and i loved the book shop would go again. More

We have visited Culzean for years - I love going down with the dogs for a walk along the cliff tops - the views are stunning, the space is amazing and if the weather is good there are some fab spots for a picnic. Culzean also run some great events through the year. More
