Wonderful Heritage Castle | 214

When entering by the front door, you’re welcomed into a large hallway which leads through into the morning room where pre dinner drinks can be served. Beyond this a vast elegant drawing room designed for entertaining has double doors leading into a grand formal dining room, with a table that can seat up to 20 people. The stylish drawing room, with an open fire and views to the front, is a large expansive room, with a selection of comfortable sofas and chairs for your group to relax in. With an impressive feature marble fireplace with antique gilt mirror above, this is a room that exudes grandeur and is the perfect place for a drinks party, or just to chill in style.

Next to this the morning room is the ideal space to congregate next to the sideboard where the drinks and ice bucket are kept for refreshments.

On the other side of the hallway is a second reception room known as ‘the library’ with the ambience and feel of a traditional gentlemen’s club. It has impressive bookcases full of leather bound books. The seating here is comfortable in wonderful authentic distressed leather armchairs and a sofa, with the addition of a desk and wifi.

Top 3 Things We Love

- its 'wow' factor; these places were built to entertain in style and the state rooms are simply stunning 

- now the castle is heated 24/7 by a Biomass boiler it's very cosy which means you won't need to pack your thermals! 

- its location; nestled into the north west section of the Grampian Mountain range you're in for some stunning views, walks and day trips.  Yet it's only a 3 hour drive from Edinburgh (through spectacular scenery)
