Balmoral Castle was the prettiest Castle we visited here in Scotland! The grounds are impeccable and beautiful as well. We ate lunch there and it was the best meal to date . I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful Castle! Wayne Mumford

A beautiful castle! The inside is not currently open to the public, but the grounds are amazing, as is the surrounding forest. Some of the most beautiful old pine trees I've ever seen. And the river is stunning. Be sure and take a look at the gardens as well. Also, it's free!

Very prestigious castle, which is used by the Royal family. Located in a tranquil place surrounded by mountains and forests. The river dee is flowing around it. The castle has a very picturesque garden. It's own green houses for flowers & vegetable. It's open only on certain days of the year. Suggest to book online. Free audio guide comes with an online booking option. Big car park within walking distance. There is a souvenir shop and a few cafes at the end of the route. Only the Ball room in the castle is open for visitors with the basic ticket option.

Great morning out with tour of the grounds including audio guides. Route is well set out with option to explore other paths. Grounds are lovely and well worth the effort. Ample parking outside grounds for £5

Well it's a beautiful castle and grounds, but beware the fine print! We assumed a general admission ticket would get us into most of the castle, as is typically the case, but it actually only gets you into the ballroom where some art by or of the royals is displayed, and to see the rest you have to go with a private tour which must be booked months in advance. This was fairly disappointing for us, although technically our fault for not reading all the details, but still we'd have happily paid 30lbs each to see the whole thing. It kind of seemed not worth going just to look at the grounds and go in the ballroom, honestly.
