Inverewe Garden (National Trust for Scotland)

A brilliant day out. Lovely gardens and the house is incredible. I love the use of old items on display that enables visitors To interact with them. Kids loved the trails and the map activity. A nice wee cafe for cake and ice-cream. Would highly

Excellent in every way. Stunning gardens spread over 50+ acres. So many spectacular views, both in the gardens and out across the surrounding sea, especially if you catch it on a day like we had. Will definitely be back.

Stunning gardens, extremely well kept by knowledgeable gardeners! The setting is superb and the climate, but the plants are so well looked after - it is a credit to them. Cafe could be more welcoming… and even if they are recycled - paper cups mean cutting down trees and building factories!! I would rather wash my own cup! Great shop. Friendly staff.

Nice gardens. Pretty location. Some paths handicap friendly others for more adventuresome. Nothing too difficult. Not a bunch in bloom when we visited. But still a good walk. Sit for awhile and look at water. Gift shop. Nice bathrooms. Plenty of parking.

A place you could spend all day at - take a picnic & flask. We were really impressed with how well all the various beds were maintained. I'm no expert on horticulture, but I was in love with the scenes and huge variety of plants.

A wonderful garden. Well tended long walks lead through the walled garden and the forest. In May Rhododendrons are in bloom, I keep coming back for this phantastic spectacle. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Add a lovely shop and a cafe and there is the recepy for success.

Lovely, neat, colourful, and surprising gardens. Very keen and cheerful staff. A boat trip to see sealife is always hit and miss - we got seals, razorbills seals, razorbills. It's the chance you take. Great cafe and toilets.

Absolutely magnificent gardens in stunning surroundings (the pictures don't do it justice and I was too busy enjoying it to take others). My husband has a back problem and the team very kindly allowed him to borrow a mobility scooter for our visit as well which was fantastic. Highly recommend to all!

Take the guided tour, it is well worth an hour of your time. Learn about native and invasive species. Imagine what this estate must have been like back in the 19th century. Different times for sure but some of original plants and trees are still around.

World class National Trust garden on the shores of Loch Ewe. My husband & I made a special detour from Skye up to Inverewe on our recent trip to Scotland just to see this garden, as it has been listed as one of the top gardens in the world. It did live up to it's claim - we truly enjoyed every minute we were there - through rain, drizzle & sunshine (they say you can experience all 4 seasons in one day here!). Although it's fairly remote, it does have amenities such as a lovely cafe, art gallery, plant & gift shop, visitor center; all worth visiting as well as a tour of the beautifully furnished house. Tours of the garden itself are also offered, although we opted to take a boat ride on the loch and attend a rock gardening class instead. We caught the early boat ride at high tide, as the sun was shining. The skipper Jamie was absolutely delightful, showing us crabs caught in a few creels & sharing knowledge & history about the wildlife in the area. So fun being out on the water. As luck would have it, the Rock Gardening Society of Scotland was there that week for the Scottish Rock Garden Festival - celebrating the start of their new extensive rock garden. The members were so friendly & gave a fantastic demonstration on how to build your own rock garden. They are artisan masters of their craft. A walk through the Inverewe house itself was marvelous, too - setting the mood for how the owners lived and how inspired there were by their garden. I especially loved the library with the writing desk over-looking the garden & loch through a giant bay window. Furnishings & design included mid-20th century details - excellent curation! From there, we stopped to meet the current artist in residence, David Sandum, a brilliant & thoughtful artist of the natural world. Last stop was at the cafe for a coffee & treat. Inverewe was one of the highlights of our trip - wish we lived closer to return for the upcoming events. Great place to spend a day!
