Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- ihowardtFort William, UK3 contributionsWe journeyed 50 miles each way to view this garden, and we were not disappointed! The garden was in excellent condition and the area of trees that had been felled was outside the extensive area planted and landscaped so well over many years, and did not detract. At one time before the necessary tree felling, it was pleasant to walk around this area too, but there is still so much to see! The sheer variety of plants and shrubs amazed us at every turn. We will be visiting again!!Written 17 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- tcc334Aberdeen, UK320 contributionsA really nice spot to visit. Situated not far from the main road and easy to find. Plenty parking and the castle itself may be a ruin, but it was still worthy of a visit. The exterior wall is intact but the interior is no more than ruins with a towered roofed section which you go up through to get onto the walk which takes you around the wall of the castle. Still ....... a really historical place that definitely worthy of a visit if you're in the area.
Also, there are ruins if a Chapel in the woods here also.Written 10 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our tour guide Jamie was excellent, so enthusiastic and informative. Great views from the Castle. The Kettle Tearoom served very enjoyable snacks. Disappointed not to see the red squirrels but staff assured us that they can often be seen.Written 26 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- William MGlasgow, UK96 contributionsWhat a great location!
Trip took roughly 20 minutes and is abit steep but well worth it!
Fantastic views of Oban, the ocean and the surrounding mountains.
Has an old compass monument that shows every point of interest nearby and how many miles to each one.Written 22 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plenty of time to see everything. I didn't do the seal swimming but spent my time on a beautiful small island watching the wildlife.
Will definitely be recommending you to my family and friends.
Thank you
