Made to feel so welcome by staff. A real step back in time, with sound and visual effects. History explained in an interesting way. So many artefacts displayed. Really enjoyed our visit. Met Sir Lachlan in the coffee shop too.

Duart castle was a fantastic stop on my journey. Castle very well cared for, interesting interior exhibits. There were areas inside the castle faithfully recreated to look the way they did in the early days including bathrooms, bedrooms, banquet rooms. One of the great things about the castle is the views to the Scottish mainland and Loch Linnhe. The area is spectacular and the food and drinks in the tea room are delicious. The gift shop offers lots of wonderful items. Great place to visit when touring Mull.

This was absolutely fantastic! The castle is a living working castle. They have a clan gathering there. The grand hall is filled with glorious silver pieces, chandeliers, rugs, antique pianos and ornate furniture. The dungeons from long ago are still un modified so you really see how it was. They have it set up when you walk by some one coughs or groans. That was unexpected and entertaining. My husband I both loved it for the history and the real look at living in a castle today and in the past. The owner was there and came out and talked to a group of visitors and then to my husband and myself. FYI: When you take the fairy over from Oban, be sure to have your taxi hired ahead of time (maybe through your hotel). It was one of the highlights of our trip. A true experience not to be missed.

A fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of our more recent Lords and Ladies, as well as their historic past. The castle is still undergoing rennovation work, but several areas are available for viewing and it is a colourful and interesting exhibition of the family's history. The views from the castle roof are amazing and the tea shop serves an excellent afternoon tea. It was also a fantastic spot to see the white tailed eagle which nests nearby and perched for us on top of a nearby pine tree. All in all, well worth the visit - and a reasonable price to boot!

Spent a great afternoon here, the history is really well told and there is plenty to keep you occupied for a few hours or more. If castles are your thing, there's not many better - really atmospheric and you can explore everywhere from the dungeon to the battlements, with lots of stories, myths and legends thrown in. Would love to go back and see it again.

Visited here a couple of days ago. What a gem of a place! Sat on the lawn had a picnic taking in the the view and atmosphere of the Castle. As we were picnicing we watched a smartly dressed gentleman in a jacket and Kilt engaging chatting with visitors. We didn't realise it at the time bit this was Sir Lauchlan McLean. The clans Chief and owner/ resident of the castle. Honoured to say a quick hello as he attempted to engage with my young daughter who was more interested in going to see the castle dungeons. The Castle is a fantastic walk through the clans history. And also has a fanatastic section on the shipwrecks around the castle. I would love to go again. Spend more time reading all the information on the exhibits. Well worth a visit for anyone.

Amazing castle with lots of interesting exhibits. Many photos a lots of information on how the Castle was rebuilt and what it was like to live in. All interesting and written with a sense of humour. The present owner was chatting to visitors quite happily. We met the owners wife walking along the road to a neighbours cottage as we walked the 4 miles from Craignure to Duart Castle. The road was single track in places with passing places but never busy. The tearooms are excellent with a good menu but to be avoided at busy times as understaffed.

Interesting history of the clan, shipwrecks, links to Cromwell, local history ( Lady of the Rock). The building itself has interesting dungeons, lovely great hall, great views from the top! Take the time to read the information in the rooms. There is a wooded garden but did not have time for a walk there. Nice spot for a picnic or sea gazing too. What really made it was the informative guide who quite happily spent a lot of time answering all our questions. Thank you.

Great genuine old castle, cold, draughty, old and in a commanding position on the coast of Mull. It’s a brilliant place, it feels so real and like a castle should feel. We met a brilliant room steward, a young lady whose name I can’t remember, who knew everything about everything to do with the castle…….she made our visit extra special.
