Live out your fairy tale dreams with an overnight stay at this 17th century baronial mansion right in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. It might be as pretty as a postcard, but it could set you back as much as £9,000 a night.
Nestled in the picture-perfect Cairngorns National Park, this 12-bedroom castle is a place of genuine enchantment, with space for up to 24 guests. Surrounded by sprawling verdant land, rows of endless forest, glistening rivers and wildlife, it's the kind of place you have to see to believe, but it doesn't come cheap as prices range from an eye-watering £6,858 to £9,000 a night.
Inside this exquisite impeccably-restored Scottish home you will find three grand living areas, a fine dining room, a games room, an impressive kitchen complete with your own chef, 12 bathrooms and even your very own whiskey library (it's jam-packed with some of Scotland's finest drinks). It is fancy, yes, but completely welcoming.
It might be a costly stay but it certainly won't disappoint. Each bedroom comes with its own en-suite bathroom and is as grand as a luxury five-star hotel. From the L'Occitane bath products to delightfully soft bathrobes, you'll be reminded of the little pleasures back home but without worrying about a thing.
Don't forget your phone as you'll want to snap the interiors for inspiration. Tartan is never far from any of the rooms: in the bedroom, a red and black tartan wallpaper adorns the walls, while over in the dining room a regal green and red tartan creates quite the unmissable statement.
As for the area, guests will find plenty to immerse themselves in. Even if you book in for just one night, Cairngorns National Park is twice the size of the Lake District and is teeming with activities. Expect mouth-watering pub lunches, epic hiking routes and unforgettable views. The whole place lends itself wonderfully to wandering and exploring, so don't forget your walking boots.
Tempted to book your stay? Cairngorms Castle is available through Stay One Degree, starting from £6,858 per night.
