Really nice castle in amazing condition. Lovely grounds and gardens. With really nice cafe coffee shop. Lemon Drizzle Cake was amazing with nice coffee and super polite and helpful team. The coffee shop staff were really helpful. Well worth a visit.

A great location to visit with amazing history and gardens. It's part of the national trust so members go in for free. We really liked the gardens which were in immaculate condition. Overall, a great place to visit for all ages.

Such a beautiful castle, which is so well preserved. Staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. The gardens are beautiful. I'd highly recommend a visit if you're passing.

A beautiful place to spend a day. The walled garden is captivating with a few WOW factors.Positive feedbacks to the cafe too, nice food, clean and relaxing place.The wood adventure park is another place to praise. My kids love it so much.

I read another review which stated most beautiful castle in UK. We have yet to see Balmoral (going tomorrow) and have seen Edinburgh Castle (more of a fortress). We agree this is a destination we would revisit if ever given the opportunity. Breathtaking, family friendly, many trails to enjoy on site. The gardens are spectacular!

I didn't visit the inside of the castle (tower house style) its self as I arrived late in the day, but did get a ticket for the garden outside which was very pretty and well kept.The area around has plenty of walking trails through the forest surrounding the castle. I can highly recommend visiting on a sunny day.Note that there is a small fee for the parking when arriving by car.

The Castle itself is grand, there's so much history and so much to look at and learn. Gardens are just spectacular! You could spend a whole day there and not really absorb everything. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

What a fantastic and different castle, kept us enthralled for well over an hour on the self guided tour. Then there was the walled garden, amazing and we only got round one of the six, beautiful and we'll have to go back, not only to do the rest of the gardens but to do the walk round the grounds for a couple of hours as well! Highly recommended.

Always a nice day out going to Crathes. Visit the castle many times every year for photo and walks. The tour of the castle is self guided and takes about 1 hour. You would need to buy a token to get access to the garden. It is included when buying a tour.

Beautiful gardens, nice cafe, and an interesting castle. Well worth the price of entry. There was a cost for car parking but the machines weren't working when we went. Lovely walks around the grounds too!
