Balmoral Castle - Aberdeen

We enjoyed a lovely two-hour walk around the property, led by our wonderful guide, Catthleen! She shared fascinating personal stories about growing up in and around Balmoral. The ascent to the top of the hill may have been tiring, but the view made it all worthwhile! The grounds and castle are stunning, and the history of Balmoral is truly intriguing. It was a delightful afternoon!

Even though we had a three-hour drive, it was well worth it! We enjoyed excellent service, and it was fantastic for the kids. We also captured some wonderful family photos at this amazing place.

We had a lovely afternoon at the restaurant. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful, and while access is limited to only one room, the displays are well-presented and informative. The tea room is charming with wonderful staff. We brought our one-year-old grandson, and he was treated to complimentary foamed milk with chocolate sprinkles. Our visit could have been a bit longer, but the audio guide was very good.

What a beautiful and peaceful place! I loved every minute of our visit. the walk between the huge old trees, the gardens, the caffe. and this castle itself is naturally beautiful. they can only visit the ballroom, but that's good. it's really the wonderful environment I'm going to keep in mind.

Beautiful place to visit , steeped in history , the children loved it . You can see why the royals love to holiday here , it’s just stunning scenery and the drive through the highland moors is well worth it . The cafe was nice and my daughter and husband were thrilled with their cheese scones . We pre bought our tickets on line and this was easy . The staff we met around the estate were all friendly and welcoming . We will definitely return ... when the queen has finished her holidays of course .
