Thirlestane Castle is an incredible place to visit. The history of the place is truly magnificent. The guide was superb, very knowledgeable and gave a fantastic in depth tour of the castles. There was so much to see and the decor in the rooms was quite magnificent.
Well worth a visit. Superb.
Well worth a visit. Superb.
The pre-booked tour which is the only way to see inside the Castle was superb. Our guide Sue was a delight. Unlike so many stately homes things are not roped off and you can fully immerse yourself in this homely and personal interior, which has interesting artifacts and fine art. The family history associated with so many Royals and Nobles is fascinating.
Excellent, our guide was 5*. Tour lasted two hours with drink and biscuits included at the end. Castle information was very interesting. Well worth a visit.
It was an excellent visit the staff were very friendly and helpful, the bonus was the rain went off and the sun came out, it makes everything look much better.
A fabulous guided tour. The guide answered our questions well. It was intriguing yo hear the myth, history and legends of the castle. The history of the 19 Earls was fascinating. Beautiful decor and fabulous plastered ceilings. An extra gem was all the vintage toys in the nursery. Even an original Paddington Bear.
I was supposed to get married here but my ex had other plans. Anyways, the staff were fantastic to work with and, when my wedding was canceled, they offered me a two night stay. I’ve never felt happier. If you’re just visiting or getting married, I’d highly recommend!!
We didn't actually visit the castle but were there for a recording/filming of the Antiques Roadshow. There was a lot of queuing but it was well worth it and we received favourable valuations for the two pictures we took.
We met the owner of the castle and had a great conversation about Deerhounds. We will certainly return before too long.
