Perfect for family or small group breaks that demand something special, Cairngorms Castle is set within the stunning Cairngorms National Park – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In other words, spectacular views are guaranteed.

Steeped in ancient history, the former 16th century castle has been lovingly transformed into a majestic, three-storey tower house for up to ten guests.  

Complete with exposed brick ceilings and a spiral staircase, you’ll feel as though you’ve been magically transported back to times past.  Yet with mod cons that include underfloor heating and a handy dishwasher, you can also relax in contemporary comfort.

The Great Hall, featuring antique pine panelling and sumptuous furnishings, is your setting for cosy evening catch-ups, and there are five bedrooms to choose from when it’s time to turn in.  There’s a bunk room that’s ideal for the kids, while you can rest your heads in the master suite, with its grand turrets and vintage four-poster bed! 

Meanwhile, you’ll have a whole acre of soothing grounds to explore, and the National Park is wonderful for wildlife-spotting…see if you can catch sight of a Golden Eagle.  Breathe in all that pure, fresh air, as you indulge your senses in a slice of Scottish paradise.
