This venue is great for all the family as choices of heritage and countryside. A duck pond, a deer park, walled garden and great views of the Ayrshire coast

Culzean is massive, there are lovely walks, great views and the castle and gardens are spectacular. It's also worthwhile going down to the beach for rock pools. There is a restaurant in one part, tea room at the castle and ice cream at the Swan Pond (also toilets). Everything is fairly spread out as it's huge. There is an electric... More

Great for a ramble, see the deer and have a bite to eat in the restaurant! You can spend a good bit of time here and there are lots of things on throughout the year.

Having visited another National Trust attraction that morning the difference was quite remarkable - the staff were quite aloof & one almost felt intrusive as visitors. The castle itself boasts spectacular views amidst expansive grounds although facilities widespread ie no appropriate tearoom etc. Would advise taking own picnic & enjoy garden facilities/walks.

We spent hours here just wandering around. The castle is great with very knowledgeable guides and the setting on a cliff top is spectacular. Lots of lovely walks and a beautifully kept walled garden and vinery. Rounded the visit off with tea and cake in their lovely cafe and then sadly we had to go but the visit was wonderful... More

The stories behind the development and decline were fascinating. Marvellous room guides. We would have liked to know a lot more about Eisenhower's time there.

A lovely tour around this Castle with a tour guide who knew everything about its history and she was so enthusiastic about the place. Perfectly situated, stunning scenery and well worth a visit. Owned by the Scottish National Trust, so it was free to English National Trust members to go in the Castle and park.

Culzean Castle Gardens offers tranquil trails through the woods as well as breathtaking views out over the sea. The Castle itself was closed, but we were still able to walk through the gardens and along the many trails throughout this large park. There is a herd of deer on the grounds, swans and ducks, and frolicking sheep near the parking... More

There is so much to see, with the castle, farm and buildings dotted around the estate. On a good day you could easily spend the entire day just wandering around the grounds
