As the only habitable castle on the southern banks of Loch Ness, Aldourie deserves its fivestar rating. After all, how many properties have 13 en-suite bedrooms and grounds spanning 500 acres of woodland, parkland and gardens? From the moment you cross the threshold, you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transposed to the 17th century. This traditional Scottish Baronial castle is furnished, as you would expect, in the most palatial of fashions and is available to rent for holidays or private corporate events. In addition to the library, visitors can enjoy relaxing in the dining room or the billiards room. Located just five miles from Inverness, the estate has in recent years undergone a £10 million development, winning Sotheby’s UK Restoration of the Year award in 2011. Since then, the castle has played host to a multitude of weddings and formal functions. With ancient stone fireplaces, hidden medieval doors, ornate ornaments and baroque wall hangings, the grandeur of the building is simply breathtaking. Available for a day, a week, or even a month at a time, Aldourie Estate can be a captivating bolt-hole or a stately corporate venue. When you’ve taken in all the castle has to offer, why not explore the private grounds and venture down to the pier on the edge of Scotland’s most famous loch?

Spent four nights at this fantastic place, the food and drink was first class, as was the hospitality, we stayed in the lady gray suite, which had another bedroom for our daughter, it also housed a huge bathroom with and had a great views of the loch. The area is just stunning, and not to far from Inverness.
