What a lovely atmosphere! There were families around the castle grounds. A very busy park and cafe. All charity run. It was modest but very rich in history. We enjoyed a few hours here, overlooking the whole town. Beautiful castle. If you’re in the area, and it’s nice weather, I would highly recommend it.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Excellent historical site and the visitor centre has a lovely cafe to have a quick bit to eat and a drink. Guided tour around the castle by passionate local volunteers is highly recommended!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Lovely day out, good walk to the reservoir, then a nice lunch at the cafe back at the start.
At the moment the castle is undergoing repairs to make it safe for the future but it was still a good tour and the tour guide was knowledgeable and was a good laugh to boot. Nice cafe and gift shop in one place with a small but interesting museum to one side. Great views from the top of the castle over the village. A worth while walk up the steep but winding path.
Dundonald Castle is a 14th century hilltop fortified ruin in Scotland, with links to Stewart history. I visited the castle and its visitor centre in June and had a brilliant guided tour - the tour guide knew loads and made the tour really interesting. Lots of interesting things to read and models to look at in the visitor centre. Highly recommended booking in advance and getting there at least 10 minutes in advance. There's a cafe on site but we didn't have time to stop for food and drink. Loos and a shop also on site. What a great place to visit.
Received a very friendly welcome from the two ladies in the visitor centre/ cafe. I'm a support worker and had taken one of the people I support to view the castle. We purchased our tickets for the guided tour of the castle. This is the only way to see inside of the building. We had 25 minutes to wait for the tour, so we had warm drinks before it started. As you can imagine, it's a steep incline to the castle, so keep this in mind. We were greeted by our guide and taken around the inside of the castle. Some parts that are usually open to the public were not due to ongoing safety work. Our guide gave us a complete history of the castle, its origins, and owners / occupiers. The tour lasts about 1 hour.
Went back here recently after visiting as a child. Very happy memories with my father who recently passed here and I just had to see it again. Very impressive castle. Not just ruins but a proper Scottish castle on a hill. Love it. Walk up to it can be a bit steep if you’re disabled but worth it. Nice coffee shop at the bottom and free parking. Worth the visit
Dundonald Castle is a few miles south of Kilmarnock and is well worth a visit. The guide, John, is very knowledgeable and the tour is very interesting. On site there is a nice café with a good selection of reasonably priced food and drinks.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
On the 25/04/2024 we paid for the tour with the fantastic June! She was incredibly informative and a fantastic host. Not only informing us of the history of Castle Dundonald, but recommended a few other places. We certainly took her up on the suggestion of Stirling Castle too I would highly recommend paying this place a visit and taking the tour, if you're into your history and are a fan of Robert the Bruce Thank you very much June, we appreciated our time with you very much!
Such a beautiful walk and we had the best day for it! Wanted somewhere nice to wear out the puppy and drove past Dundonald. Such a beautiful and colourful walk, so many bold and vibrant colours and lovely to hear and see so much wildlife. Walked down to the fishing waters and back round and that was just over 5k.
