Kildrummy Castle

Over a century old, Kildrummy Castle Hotel is an opulent manor house built in its own grounds overlooking the spectacular ruin of the 13th century Kildrummy Castle with connections to Robert the Bruce.

Kildrummy Castle Hotel is tranquilly set amidst the spectacular scenery of the Grampian Highlands, deep in the countryside of Aberdeenshire, a region renowned for its historic sites and whisky distilleries. Kildrummy is only 45 minutes from the Queen's Scottish home at Balmoral and just over one hour from the "Granite City" of Aberdeen.

A sweeping drive and well-kept gardens greet you as you make your approach. Grey stonework, expansive windows, numerous chimney stacks and crenelated roofline are just a few of the features which make Kildrummy architecturally impressive. Inside is equally impressive, styled traditionally as a Scottish Hunters lodge, you will find oil paintings, wall tapestries, a carved wooden staircase rising from the reception hall and rich oak panelling throughout. The drawing room and library offer places to relax with comfortable sofas and large log fires. Kildrummy is family run and the team offer an exceptional welcome and service.

There are 16 guest bedrooms at Kildrummy which are not numbered but uniquely named. Each room is individually appointed with its own features and aspect including sloping ceilings, bay windows and ornamental fireplaces. Rooms are individually decorated reflecting the romance of the surrounding countryside and many are complete with antique furnishings. Rooms boast varying views over the Kildrummy Castle ruins or the Grampian landscapes. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, tea and coffee making facilities, colour televisions and fluffy bathrobes.

You are invited to take pre-dinner drinks in the quaint and comfortable, but well-stocked bar. Fine dining is available in the atmospheric surrounds of Kildrummy's restaurant which serves up a mouth watering menu with a focus on fresh locally sourced cuisine including a number of speciality meat and fish dishes.

Kildrummy Castle Hotel is a beautifully set countryside retreat for those seeking a unique accommodation experience with that special personal touch and service.
