Absolutely loved my visit to Hopetoun House today! I was the first one through the door this morning, which felt like stepping into a private stately home tour – brilliant start to the day! The house itself is stunning, full of history, charm and breathtaking detail in every room.

What really made the experience even better were the guides – every single one I spoke to was friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the place. They added so much depth to the visit and were happy to answer questions and share fascinating stories.

Highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area – it’s a true Scottish gem!

The exterior of this building is amazing that architecture is unique. However, the interior is even better!! From all the palaces we visited in Scotland, Hopetown house (even though not a palace) is the most beautiful! The paintings, the libraries, and the furniture are just amazing !

Nice gardens with plenty picnic areas. Also worth seeing the house. Similar to a National Trust house but not a member. However it is an Historic Houses member.

The house was wonderful and guide’s .were very knowledgeable helpful they showed they loved the history of a beautiful house, we enjoyed our visit very much
The lift was most welcome and wheelchairs available, staff very helpful as regards getting around the house a big thanks.top marks on hospitality.and the cafe takes dogs too nice to know.

The only down side was the cafe I know it was late in the year September but not much choice hot dog or bacon role for lunch or soup.
Surely they could do something simple like.
Salmon or ham salad
Even burgers would be a improvement
Coffee was good and staff helpful and friendly

Went here for a celebration dinner and it was phenomenal and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Scotland. The Palace feels like it was straight out of a fairytale movie and decor and architecture were incredible. The curator gave us a bunch of background on the Hopetoun family and how they built the house in the 1600s. Well worth he trip to check it out.

It is the most comprehensive house I have ever been able to visit. By this, I mean I was able to see all the grand rooms, plus bedrooms, a servant's bedroom in the attic, walk around parts of the roof, and finally explore the butler's room in the basement. Amazing

Lovely place, house has a viewing platform at the top which we loved. Gardens are very well kept and plenty of parking. Popped in for 3 hours and did the long route in the garden and had our own lunch.

Highly recommend.
