Falkland Palace & Garden

Falkland Palace is a lovely day out, but it's quite expensive for what it is. You take the tour at your leisure and there are guides situated within most of the rooms. The guides were excellent, they are a wealth of knowledge and kept us entertained. There are some lovely rooms to see and a tour could take anything from 30 minutes onwards, depending on pace and whether you talk with the guides. We visited the sewing room and the lovely volunteers there spent time with my boys and my youngest learned to crochet. We visited on a wet day but we still explored the gardens, which are lovely. The garden's aren't huge, it maybe only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to wander around and visit the tennis court. The tennis court was a little disappointing, there was almost no information provided. Some history on it, maybe names of famous historical characters who have played on it and some old images would be beneficial. Overall, I would recommend a visit but it would be worthwhile taking out the membership as paying for the day only is a bit costly.

Unfortunately we chose to visit on a day of relentless rain so I don't think we got to see the palace and gardens at their best. It's not cheap to buy a ticket and parking is pretty difficult. Nevertheless, the palace is well worth a visit.

Fascinating history told by extremely friendly knowledgeable guides. They really brought the palace to life. Well worth the visit to the palace and the village. So much history under one roof.

A absolutely amazing place to visit. A trip way back 300 plus years. Guides are well versed in their commentaries.

This Palace is beautifully maintained inside and out. The gardens are stunning. There is a gift shop there with coffee and biscuits on sale. The staff are very knowledgeable about the Palace and provide a lot of useful information as you pass through each room. Tour groups are welcome. We were a couple and bought concession tickets at the door. If you're a UK resident it's best to join the National Trust

What a glorious place! Seemingly in the middle of nowhere a royal palace suddenly appears round the corner! Volunteers dressed in period costumes really knew their stuff and were happy to chat. History came to life!

Worthy of a visit lasting several hours - the palace took around an hour to visit (many guides in the rooms, enthusiastic and informative, noting Roderick), whilst the gardens took longer - these were more extensive that I imagined in this village. Saw the Royal Tennis court, orchard and kitchen garden, great views of the surrounding hills make for a photography heavy experience.

We found the Palace to be very interesting. Upon entering, we were met with a very informative but strict member of staff who complained about one of our party having a bag. (Resulting in a 4 star rather than 5). When we reached the second level , we met with a fantastic guide who showed us all the details, including many small mason markings on the stone work and very intricate details on the bed and the martial chest. The entire palce felt very welcoming and the grounds were amazing. 100% recomed
