We would have missed this had we caught an earlier ferry. Home of the Maclean clan, it is full of interesting history. Outstanding views on this lovely day. A little cafe with outside tables to sit and enjoy the surroundings. A worthwhile stop. More

My in-laws were visiting the Isle of Mull on holiday and we wanted to suprise them by purchasing entrance to the castle. Andrew and the Team at Duart Castle could not have been more helpful, even though they had not been asked to do this before. They made them feel super special by presenting them with a personalised entrance pack.... More

We took our young daughters to Duart Castle on our recent trip to Mull on a rainy day. We had lunch in the tea rooms which was very nice, and probably one of the lower priced lunches we had during our stay. The home-made flapjacks are very nice! The castle itself is really interesting to look around, and they try... More

Had a great day out here, a wonderful setting and run by friendly and informative people. Fabulous views out to sea and accross to ardnamurchan and Oban. A castle with a really cosy feel. Wonderful viwes from the big glass gallery window, and a good spooky atmosphere. Oh, nice tea room as well with big slabs of yummy cake. A... More

We wanted to take a day trip to Mull from Oban but weren't sure what to do when we got there. Donald in the ferry visitor centre told us about Duart Castle and we decided that would be a nice thing to do ~ what a great choice! The queue for the bus to Tobermorey was enormous ~ we jumped... More

My son and I have wanted to go to Duart for many years, so catching our first glimpes of it on the ferry from Oban was very special for us, with many photos taken! We were driving, so arrived at the castle shortly after the ferry docked. Everything about our arrival and tour through the castle was magical for us.... More
