Baronial Bliss,Ballater, Aberdeen City and Shire, Scotland

Description

(Reference number: 421915) If you have a special occasion to celebrate or are planning a big get-together, this is the place to do it. Sleeping up to twenty-four guests in absolute luxury, this 17th-century baronial castle with its pepper-pot roofs, Victorian walled garden and quintessential Highland setting is the stuff of fairy tales. Children will love it here – the 18-acre grounds are like a magical wild playground – though with a Whisky Library brimming with fine single malts, Scottish gins (and whisky tutors on call), adults will love it perhaps even more. The dining room is an impressive place for a feast, and the home is staffed with a chef to introduce you to high-end Highland cuisine. Afterwards, play billiards in the games room, find a cosy nook for reading or practice your Highland fling in front of a roaring fire. Outside, the options continue – light a crackling bonfire in private woodland or practice fly fishing at the estate's lochan, which feeds off the River Don. The house is in good company with Balmoral just 8 miles away, and Aberdeenshire's golf courses are some of the best in Scotland. It's also located within the Cairngorms National Park, so, depending on the season, you could find yourself hiking, kayaking or skiing within five minutes of leaving home. Home truths: *Two double bedrooms are located in an independent chalet, adjacent to the house *One of the suites has two double bedrooms and can sleep up to four guests – it’s aimed at families but suits close friends too, since the bedrooms are separate and have private bathrooms *Three bedrooms have split king beds so they can be made into twins if required *Guests don’t have access to a kitchen but meals are prepared to order by the in-house chef *All bedrooms have their own private bathroom, luxury Aesop toiletries, bathrobes and slippers *The castle is located less than an hour’s drive from Aberdeen International Airport *This home presents a unique setting for private events and special occasions – contact the hosts for a bespoke experience .
