Magnificent trees for starters! We had a wonderful tour guide who was knowledgeable and informed to a highly detailed level. The plasterwork and beautiful decor in the rooms is of an extremely high quality. Wait till you see the clockwork spit in action in the kitchen! And the gardens are inspiring.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This is a wonderful day out. Take the tour of the house - totally fascinating and so well presented. The staff were so friendly, so knowledgeable and totally professional! We didn't have children with us, but it is evident that they cater for children on the tours too with all sorts of bits to keep their interest going. The gardens are stunning, beautifully laid out and so precisely maintained - immaculate! There is a good play area for the kids with picnic tables - close to the car park. If you want a little more exercise there are good walks in the forest with birds and wildlife to watch! A truly excellent day out!
A fully immersed experience with staff playing the part of people who used to live in the house and so do you! The gardens are outstandingly beautiful! You are greeted with the sound of a piano playing which is so tranquil. Very good facilities. Also a play park with plenty of places to have a picnic.
#Autismfriendly By far the best tour we have had. We originally turned up on Saturday and were told tours are about an hour long, as the boys are Autistic we normally go around ourselves or have shortened tours, wasn't sure we'd take the tour. The lady in the shop made it clear, we could phone ahead, they could have lights dimmed, music down lower and that the staff would be accommodating. Just phone ahead, and they'd block off a tour for us. We missed the last tour on Saturday and came back Sunday morning. Was worth it. Our tour guide was great. She kept the boys engaged, and they lasted just short of an hour. Honestly, every member of staff we met there was going above and beyond. This lot needs to be promoted and needs to be training others around Scotland. We've been to a lot of National Trust places, so I can see the difference compared to others. That's only the staff, the place it's self is glorious, they've added an extra fairy garden, kids play area, plenty of parking.
Beautiful place for a visit. The gardens are lovely. The guided tour of the house is a must. The guides were fantastic - full of information and all done with a great sense of humour.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Absolutely fantastic place! Wonderful engaging staff, beautiful gardens, an amazing collection of memorabilia/period furnishings/paintings and great facilities including practical toilet arrangements, a very well stocked gift shop and a lovely cafe serving yummy food suitable for all ages. The tours within the house were really friendly and informative…a lot of personal information and the “interview” technique was brilliant for the kids and adults alike! House of Dun is family friendly and dog friendly. There are walks and a playground. Dogs are welcome everywhere except in the main house they are welcome in the cafe and there are water bowls outside the door for them. The car park is shaded under the trees which is ideal for leaving dogs in the car while you view the main house. We really enjoyed our visit and can’t wait to come back again which is all the more impressive because it is a 1hr15min drive for us!. Thank you for one of the nicest family days out we have had in ages!
One of the most enjoyable National Trust experiences. The enactment by the "estate manager " and "lady of the house" who details the living in 1800s whilst giving tour of the house was unique, fun and akin to following a story! We were enraptured and would come back to do some of the walks on the grounds! Definitely worth visiting.
Visiting House of Dun was an amazing experience! Staff was extremely friendly and the tour was so worth it!!!! Tour guides took us back in time with their passionate story telling. I’ll definitely go back for another visit. Would recommend!!!!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Just lovely! And the chap who was our guide was absolutely wonderful. Cheery, informative, and happy to answer any question. The lady at the shop was also wonderful, very sweet and happy to help. The house is beautiful, and well worth a visit for some very interesting history. Loved it!
We visited today with a 9 year old and 7 year old and went on the tour of the house where our tickets outlined we were applying for a job within the house. The guides were friendly, well-informed, and remained in character, telling us all about the family history and the roles of the staff throughout the ages. At the end of the tour, we were rewarded with a penny as a fair salary for our work, which was lucky as we ended the tour with a visit to the fairy garden complete with a wishing well. We would highly recommend, and we will return again in another season to see the changing flowers within the gardens.
