Absolutely beautiful

What can I say about this beautiful place, other than we had an wonderful day out. The grounds of the castle were absolutely stunning with beautifully landscaped gardens. We enjoyed peaceful walks in the woodlands with stunning coastal views. We enjoyed coffee and delicious cake after our walk. The tour of castle was amazing, with its spectacular oval staircase and impressive collections. The staff were happy, friendly and knew their history. I would highly recommend this place for all to enjoy.

Ditch the wind farm pit stop and give folks more time for the castle.

I would given 5 stars if it weren’t for the wind farm stop. Very boring and unnecessary. I would have rather spent the extra time at Culzean castle. We were only given 2 hours for the tour and to have lunch there. We didn’t get to see the walled garden or any of the other part of the grounds. The Robert Burns stuff was ok, but wasn’t interested in seeing any of that either. Our tour guide John was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and full of stories! We enjoyed him.

Culzean Castle and more

Gary was very knowledge and friendly. Made the trip comfortable and fun. Had plenty of time to visit each stop. Gave clear instruction on what time to be back. I recommend Rabbies tours to everyone.

Culzean

Difficult to access. Some of our group did not go because of the terrain. They stayed in the coffee shop.
