Wardhill is one of the oldest privately owned estates in North-East Scotland and boasts beautiful parkland around the castle which provides for scenic walks with managed forestry offering wonderful woodland retreats. There is a large herd of award winning sheep that graze the open parkland on the estate throughout the year, and provides fresh lamb to the local community. In addition there are 400 acres of managed woodland to explore.
The Castle itself is available for exclusive private hire on a self-catered or catered basis, and can sleep 16 people in newly decorated bedrooms with modern bathrooms and a new kitchen.
Each of the eight bedrooms are spacious and bright, with all the modern comforts you would expect from a property of this standard, yet the old worldly charm is retained throughout.
The Estate is only a short distance from Aberdeen airport, with many local attractions such as a world class golf course, the whisky trail and a fantastic array of beautiful castles to explore. With over 50 courses to play in the region, it boasts some of the best golf courses on the globe including the 6th oldest course in the world and the world-renowned Trump course at Balmedie.
The iconic whisky trail that runs from distillery to distillery up the Spey River is unique, boasting some of the finest whisky distilleries you may find anywhere. The trail takes in seven world famous distilleries in the heart of the Spey and allows not only tasting sessions but detailed knowledge of the history of Scottish malt whisky.
Coupled with exceptional landscape with breathtaking views this is a must for those seeking the solace of city life.

Wild, rugged and romantic are the three words that spring to mind when we cast our thoughts to holidays in Scotland. With many a myth and legend sung from these undulating lands, there is a uniquely strident beauty to this area that changes dramatically from season to season.
During the winter months, the snow-covered Cairngorms National Park beckons winter enthusiasts to take advantage of uncrowded ski areas. Short daylight hours are more than made up for by sublime winter sunsets, which cast their warm hues over the breath-taking horizons and announce that it’s time to retreat inside. With the promise of a fireside 'dram' awaiting you at the end of the day in your very own Gothic castle, it's all a bit like something out of a Sir Walter Scott novel...
Come the emergence of spring, Scotland’s lochs - such as Loch Ness, Loch Lomond and Loch Laggan - lose their 'winter skin' and wildflowers return to the foothills of the mountains in an explosion of colour. With seemingly endless days, summer is the perfect time to explore Scotland. Skirted with miles of pristine coastline and studded with country estates, it hosts a plethora of landmarks, including six UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Alongside its stunning natural scenery, Scotland’s cities are not to be missed. The capital, Edinburgh, with its bustling medieval Old Town, is one of Europe's most vibrant and cultural cities. With the iconic Edinburgh Castle overlooking her historic city, Edinburgh hosts The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Edinburgh Festival Fringe in summer, along with the ever-popular Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve) and Burns Night in January. With some of the world’s leading chefs choosing Edinburgh as their home, there is a culinary Enlightenment taking place in Scotland, but we're thrilled to see the classics still remain... a holiday in Scotland would not be complete without a dish of haggis, neeps & tatties, all washed down with whisky!
