Crathes is absolutely stunning however the cost of entry inside the castle is prohibitive. £16 for adults and £12 for a small child just did not entice us. Perhaps if children were free it would have been more appealing. The grounds and gardens are amazing with some lovely walks

What a fantastic location to visit over the weekend! Despite the large number of people inside during my visit, the place was so spacious that I didn't feel crowded at all. You must see the lovely enclosed garden when you visit. The weather was so beautiful that I didn't want to go inside the castle, but I'm sure it's also worth seeing.

The castle is nice with widespread surroundings. The building as such is nice but not too spectacular. It has some very nicely painted ceilings. However the gardens are absolutely gorgeous. Very nicely set up and kept. Lots of different flowers and trees with information about some of them on them. We actually only saw about half of the whole gardens, but it still took us a long time to get around. Also a nice coffee shop.

Really well organised self-guided tour of the castle interior. The system ensures adequate crowd control, and there were many interesting rooms to explore. Be prepared to climb stairs though! The gardens were beautifully landscaped and obviously well taken care of (it’s unfortunate that some people still throw trash in some places which we picked up). Lovely little gift shop too both inside the castle and a larger one at the ticket office.

A great stately castle for a rainy day. The self guided tour round the house was interesting and well presented as you'd expect from the National Trust, and long enough to be worth it. The family history room on the top floor has the most fun bits to read! After 8 mints photo ... Worth the price for that alone! The walled garden and topiary was beautiful, but probably best seen later in April or May - not that much out on our visit. Only down side was the limited menus available in the café for eating anything other than a snack or soup.
