The Castle Stables is set in a beautiful building in a peaceful location- in the heart of Drumtochty Forest. The apartment has all you need for a short stay or a long stay with free internet and free parking. You can hear birds singing and water flow from the stream surrounds the building. You can walk to the beautiful pond, located a minute away and see ducks or swans visiting the place. You might even see deer walking in the grounds. You can have a barbecue in a nice sunny day or just sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surrounding.

Are you looking for a break with a difference? Away from the busy areas but in fantastic scenery?

The castle, built in the neo-gothic style in 1812 is really a castellated mansion. It was bought by the Norwegian government in exile during the 2nd world war and used as a boarding school for Norwegian children who were refugees from the German occupation of Norway. Nowadays Drumtochty Castle grounds play host to the Drumtochty Highland Games in late June every year.

We were attending a wedding at the castle and the walk there was very dark (pitch black) so would advise taking a torch.

Heating system very old fashioned, storage heaters need to be replaced. The apartment is very dark even when sunny outside. This is not helped by the dark furniture and decor.

Directions were hard to follow, they took us the hard way around, could have been better, we found going another turnoff further up in town was so much better. Lots of instructions as to turn on / turn off equipment , how to work hot water, showers , heaters - made our guests a bit frustrated - but we got there in the end
Great location - country , out of town - just like staying in your own castle on your own estate, peaceful

Toilet seat insecure and should have been spotted by cleaner and fixed prior to guests arriving. To be fair once contacted owners arranged repair but it shouldn't have happened. Cleaner also missed empty beer bottle in cupboard.
Location was perfect for our needs. Very comfortable and had all necessary facilities.
