Caerlaverock Castle, Dumfries

Absolutely a unique castle ! The front area is amazing for a photograph. I actually loved this castle. They have a museum in the back for children. Very well kept and really first class. It kept my attention ! There is a quick walk to the rear of the castle. It is really a nice area for a walk. They have a gift shop and small cafe. We stayed longer than what we planned on but it was well worth the stay, cost.

Outstanding. The castle and its history are fascinating but it is the efforts taken to ensure that Caerlaverock appeals to both young and old that really sets it apart from the rest. Upon arrival we were advised to download an Augmented Reality App (using the free WiFi) and it was a revelation. Our children were kept fully engaged in every moment of our visit where usually their interest would wane before the adults had had their fill.

Home Sweet Home to Clan Maxwell! My all time favorite castle! All kinds of history pours from this property, we spent hours here at the castle & in the woods. Take your time climbing in the castle, there is a lovely tea room on site to rest. Absolutely precious architecture. #myfamilytree

Lovely well kept grounds, friendly staff helping parking fast efficient service at the reception. Lovely cafe with a good menu and reasonable prices. Great video explaining event's past, costumes for you to try on. Castle itself is a great example of medieval castle well maintained. Lovely relaxing walk in the grounds to the first castle, pity the bridge to the old castle was out of use so could only view it from across it's moat. Children's play area looks good.

Beautiful unique castle with a great exhibition and café. Went while a school trip was happening, also a fun place for kids - playground and grounds great places to play. Also a short hop to the nature area of the coast and close to a campsite.
