    This is one of the National Trust's more interesting properties. There is so much history and the guides were very helpful in providing detailed information. The grounds are also pleasant to stroll in particularly in the Spring.

    Although this is not a big place being a palace, what you see is really great. We were really impressed by the guides in the rooms that seemed the most important. They really know there stuff , not to many questions went unanswered. The whole history of the place was amazing (walking in the footsteps of royals).The gardens are nice and big but being February not a lot was in flower. Also the oldest tennis court in the world, something really different from todays courts. A bit disappointing that there is no tearoom but there are some not far up the street.We arrived half an hour before it opened and that gave us the chance to wander around Falkland itself, and what a lovely place it is so clean and steeped in history all in all a great day out.

    I visited it in September, and was amazed by the Palace. It is quite big, and there is a lot of support by the stuff who are ready to tell you information beyond the printed lists. I cannot upload pictures there, but if you wanna see it you can check this review (unfirtunately, in Russian only) with the pictures. Highly recommended!The review http://bit.ly/1tXnkLw (original link is way too long)

    Small hunting castle, worth a visit. Beautiful village.( Pity about the huge modern nursing home they built in village...)

    Visited this attraction with a friend and found it to be interesting and the guides well informed. However, the attraction is not very child friendly with a distinct lack of any interactive activities evident. Also, although there is a well stocked Gift Shop there is no place to sit down for a coffee, only a vending machine.

    I used to live a few miles away from here and always want to visit the Palace when I go home to visit my family. It always has such a pull on me, I love the place it is so very full of history and never go away disappointed. It is ideal for all the family, though it is not very good at catering for the disabled. My Mum who isn't getting any younger found it very difficult this time round to go on a visit indoors as she is on crutches and cannot walk very far. Needless to say we strolled around the gardens and Tennis Court. We still had a lovely hour just looking outside. I am returning home for a visit next year and it is top of my list of places I wish to visit again.

    Free with our National Trust membership cards. On 21 September there was the Sealed Knot voluntary military society enacting 17th century army, all meticulously dressed and armed according to the period. We were explained all about the old matchlock and newer flintlock firing mechanisms and other technicalities of warfare, and other details. Interesting was the 1539 oldest real tennis court with audio visual; the technique somewhat similar to squash. Rooms are redressed as they were used by the end of 1800 th century. Interesting was to learn that the king lived seasonally only temporary in this hunting palace, and moved all household and furniture for the occasion, a massive operation. Although no audio tour was available, in all rooms were people who liked to explain the details. Pity no picture were allowed and no pictures were available from a website. Opposite the castle was a small shop selling sandwiches and drinks, and parking we found around the block in a side street.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this outing. The palace has been restored to former glories- an ongoing process. The volunteers are knowledgable and helpful- just joined the national trust and a brief summary of the main features of each room in nt properties is a novel and welcome experience . Outside the real tennis and garden games were fun. Only downside was cafe. Avoid. Two or three good places a stroll away in the village.

    If the reign and life of Charles I and Charles II are of interest to you, this palace and the guides therein have all the information you need about the day to day life and political history of these two, and the trials and tribulations both of whom encountered. Thoroughly recommended for couples following the historical trail, perhaps not the best for families with young children (breakables)

    This Palace is a beautiful and very historic building and is well furnished in parts and extremely interesting. Re-enactors make it more so and we thoroughly enjoyed several hours inside and out as the gardens are a treat. There is plenty for all ages and photographers would have a field day.

    Beautiful place and we had a lovely visit. Beautiful furnished rooms and the guides were very informative. Large gardens with some ruins in the grounds of older parts of the palace. Not cheap to go in at a cost of £12.50 but luckily we are National Trust members so got in for free. Recommended.

    This wonderful palace is situated in the middle of the village, and dominates everything around it. It creates such presence. The gardens are lovely, and a stroll through the grounds with the ancient walls is well worth doing. The admission fee, I suppose, is not cheap, but definitely worth it for a one off trip.

    We just happened on this lovely palace and grounds. Very informative staff and I found the history interesting. We were fortunate enough to come upon a 17th century reenactment of life and military arms on the grounds of the castle for a small donation. All involved were in the appropriate costumes of the age. The gift shop had a nice collection of bric a brad etc.

    Lying in the heart of Falkland this delightful Palace immediately transports you back to a bygone time .It still surprises me every time I visit I spot something I had not seen before .This is a good time to visit as it is a quieter time for tourists .the only down side is the gardens are past their best with the autumn colours coming in . The best time for viewing the extensive gardens is the month of June when their true splendour can be appreciated. Set in the gardens is the Royal Tennis court which is set out with in a walled courtyard almost a mix of squash and tennis. One of the most interesting renovations going on is the painting 'The Mystic Marriage' by Francesco Brini over 400 years old . 2 restorers are hoping to have it restored by the end of the month. You can watch them as they work in the chapel.
