Beautiful. Helpful security staff who guided us to disabled parking. Once inside the grounds we enjoyed the beauty of Balmoral. Stunning. Even heard and caught sight of an eagle flying overhead. Visited the cafe and shop. All staff very happy and friendly.
Does not get better! Awesome to be able to walk the grounds and have cup of tea with scones at the cafe! was nice to be able to to enjoy the grounds and have a seat to enjoy the beauty. Nice walk along the river and enjoy the beauty of nature! Would highly recommend going here any time of the year
What an absolutely fabulous place. The short time we had walking around was amazing. We are back up for the new year and will be visiting again, hopefully have a quick brew with my mate Charles.
Beautiful grounds and beautiful café in the Mews area. Walk along the river Dee. Walk around the grounds and visit the Highland cows near the cricket grounds. The lawn in front of the of the castle entrance is well manicured.
The castle is very impressive, has a lot of historic significance, you get to stay where the royal family ate and laughed. The gardens are milimetricaly trimmed and everything is arranged.
The castle (outside) and the gardens were free to visit, but we had to pay £5 for the car park.

What a beautiful palace. The King or family were in residence when we visited and we didn't manage to view the actual castle from the inside.
The gardens & grounds are beautiful...as one would expect given it was Queen Elizabeth's favourite place.
The vegetable & flower gardens are beautiful.even in October and the formal grounds are certainly impressive.

While I do think Balmoral Castle is worth a visit, it is important to realize that you are basically paying (a hefty fee!) to visit the beautiful castle grounds. There is very little of the actual castle that you can visit, and in that small ballroom section that you can, you can’t take photos or video. There is (of course) a well appointed cafe and gift shop and clean toilets. There’s a small paid parking lot a short walk from the ticket booth. It’s quite a bit of walking if you want to explore the majority of the grounds so keep that in mind.
