Limited inside the castle and tearoom v small. Good grounds in the main. Parking ok but gravel paths in some places.

Brodie castle is a lovely place to visit on a summer’s day. There’s not much to see inside as, with many Scottish castles, access is limited. But you can get around the small ground floor, see some artifacts and visit the gift shop. There was the odd step but staff lowered a wooden portable ramp where needed. The tea room is very small and accsessed from the courtyard. We sat outside as it was sunny. I think it would be extremely difficult to sit inside. Food was lovely and staff were attentive. The gardens are doable in a power chair but the paths can get a bit rough. There’s the usual gravel everywhere...but lots of open grounds in which to exercise my assistance dog. (Staff were knowledgeable about his having access to both inside the castle and the tearoom.)

Attentive and welcoming - happy to put ramps out within the ground floor of the castle into the gift shop.
