Great place for kids and adults to live out their castle fantasies.
The 7 of us stayed here to be in between Aberdeen and Inverness and it worked perfectly. The property is amazing…don’t miss the rope swing for the kids. The trails were great to hike and run.

Magical oasis
We stayed at Lickleyhead for a family reunion and rented the entire castle. It was like a fairytale. The castle is beautifully decorated, the grounds were wonderful to explore, and we had all the space and amenities we needed. It was absolutely lovely.
