Family hotels and homes in Aberdeenshire

With a picturesque setting on the banks of the River Dee, this charming Scottish mansion dates back to 1225 AD, and was once home to the Knights Templar.

The stylish decoration of the hotel offers a combination of modern luxury with period details, such as natural stone, wood paneling, exposed fireplaces, and tall beamed ceilings. Steeped In history, we entered a bygone world with all its charm but with modern conveniences. We were fortunate for snowfall overnight and woke to a mystical wonderland.
