An unforgettable experience. Our guide Ollie was very knowledgeable, and happy to answer our questions. The welfare of the wildlife is priority at Argaty, and the facilities are well-maintained and clean. We were lucky with a beautiful, clear winter's day, and it was just stunning to see the amazing kites soaring and swooping close by.

I love kites so had to come here when visiting Edinburgh. Saw some great birds on the bird feeders. Guide was informative and kept us entertained while we waited. Just a shame, and not fair having paid, some people had to share the lookout window.

A magical place to spend some time, particularly if you are into wildlife photography. I have visited many times and always enjoy myself either watching the red kites, the beavers at the right time of year or spending time in the squirrel hides as I did yesterday. I would thoroughly recommend it

Amazing to see the Red Kites (we counted at least 40) and the information was first class, not hurried at all, a very peaceful location with excellent knowledge and passion. Can not recommend highly enough, superb for all ages, just magical.

Just 15 minutes out of Stirling and only 10 minutes from the motorway you find an idyllic and peaceful part of the countryside. You could easily be in the Highlands it's so tranquil. The only noise is that of the wildlife. I was lucky enough to see Chaffinch, Great Tits, Peahen, Greater Spotted Woodpeckers and Red Squirrels. And of course, Red Kites. Well worth a visit. The staff are most welcoming and knowledgeable.
