This amazing property really has the wow factor, yet informal enough to really relax and enjoy a fabulous holiday in a unique setting! With a very absorbing history, this was the childhood home of William Gladstone, the former Prime Minister, and is stuffed with interesting artefacts and paintings. Juxtaposed is the unique style of the present owners, ensuring a high standard of comfort, with deep mattresses and high-quality bedding lying side by side with original features. The remains of the castle are accessed from the main part of the Victorian house and feature the most fabulous banquet room with double vaulted ceiling, stone floors and depictions of the coats of arms of the forbears. A truly amazing space to host a special dinner.
In addition, the original 15th Century dungeon with its thick stone walls, has been converted into a bar with pool table. The rest of the house is very comfortable and spacious, with a large separate dining room, a large drawing room with open fire in surround, and overlooks the lovely lawns to the front of the property. The bedrooms are of various sizes and all feature comfy beds, crisp linen and plenty of space and light.
Although in a wonderfully rural setting, the castle is only one mile from the pretty village of Fettercairn, with its Royal Arch, matched by the one in nearby Edzell. Fettercairn has a good hotel serving food, as well as a lovely restaurant and a well-stocked village shop. Edzell with its selection of shops, tearooms and parks also has a very good golf course where visitors are welcome. Excellent walks abound from the doorstep (the area is ideal for wildlife lovers), or slightly further afield at Glen Prosen, Clova, Glen Isla and Glen Esk.
Numerous golf courses are within a short drive, and this coupled with excellent beaches at St Cyrus and Montrose, make it an ideal spot for a varied and relaxing holiday. Take the Victorian Heritage Trail from Fettercairn to Braemar for an interesting day out through some gorgeous scenery or visit the numerous castles and stately homes which populate the area. The Distillery at Fettercairn is worth a visit, or just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful area.
