The castle is privately owned so all visitors pay full rate. Steps are a bit steep but the view from the top ramparts is worthwhile. Fascinating rooms with period stuff and history, but sadly no photography allowed. Cafe and loos are a short walk away with fair priced food menu and souvenir shop.

The castle is set in a beautiful location, worth a visit just for that I think! The inside of the castle is really nothing special unless you've got Maclean ancestry. The exhibits are in fairly good order and pretty easy to follow around, but again nothing really special. We still enjoyed some of the historical stuff - raining outside so... More

what a meaningful trek for me. Being named after the castle now is clear. It all started here and I'am so glad I checked it out. small castle but well displayed. Sir Lachlan was very humble. sat down with my wife and me and explained his history. Very windy and it rained. everyone was so friendly. learning about the history... More

Approaching from the sea the profile looks great, but I was surprised to find the place unattractive and a bit 'grey' when I got there. But that might just be me....I found the castle itself a bit uninspiring and spent my time wandering around the stunning surrounding area. The cafe was nice with friendly staff.

Been hoping to visit Duart Castle for years. It is a must for all MacLeans. Pass by Castle when you go on ferry from Oban.

Easy to get to and once inside the castle you can wander the public rooms at your leisure. There is a lot to see and the staff on duty are very well informed and very happy to share their knowledge.

The castle is really nice, it doesn't take long to visit the inside but the scenery around is stunning. I spent 30 minutes in the castle and 1 hour around. I had a snack at the tea room beside the castle where the staff was very friendly.

The displays inside the castle are feeling a little tired and out of date. They could stand some freshening up. But the best part of our visit to Duart was walking around outside and taking pictures. This is such a photogenic castle! We were lucky to get some great shots later as we crossed on the ferry to Oban, too.... More

This place is well worth a visit,with its splendid views from the roof, The guide was full of interesting details about the castle which is still used as a home. The small cafe does some nice snacks and its not too expensive.
