Perth and Kinross
View on Google MapsPhoto: james forbes
Wester Caiplich opens onto a ground floor where the living room and kitchen/dining space form the heart of the place. Patio doors lead directly to an enclosed garden—a genuine advantage for families, since children can move between indoors and outside without fuss. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly: electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine. The living room centres on a 56-inch Smart TV. Both bedrooms contain twin beds; the ground floor bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, while the upstairs bedroom also has access to a shower room. Throughout, you get bed linen, towels and wi-fi as standard.
What makes the setting distinctive is the hot tub for six in the garden, heated and private to the property. The wider estate—Dalnaglar Castle and its grounds—covers 200 acres on the southern edge of the Cairngorms National Park. You have parking for two cars on site, and the large enclosed garden includes a patio with furniture. The grounds are landscaped and partly wooded, shared with other properties on the estate. A fenced pond sits within the grounds. This is the kind of place to come for a genuinely quiet spell, whether you want countryside views or simply room to move about without feeling hemmed in. Smoking is not permitted inside.

We stayed in Dalnaglar Cottage, it was lovely and quiet and the hot tub was great. The cottage could do with a bit of TLC though, the kitchen tap continually dripped, the bathroom light sometimes flickered and there was mould in the bathroom as the extractor fan didn't work. The heating also switched off about 7pm so it got very cold in the evenings. Tried to contact before booking and also before our arrival but to no avail. There was also only 1 tea bag provided, other places we've stayed in the past there has been tea&coffee provided so I had to survive caffeine free as wasn't worth buying a box of tea for a few days! The Glenshee cafe down the road was lovely, would recommend a stop there. Also the Persie gin distillery is great

Location was fantastic. Very nice and remote feeling yet with a closeness to services in Blairgowrie and Braemare. The cottage was lovely, with a very rustic feel which we loved. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing in and held temperatures well. Only downside were the beds which were quite uncomfortable. Great walking routes around the area which the dog loved. Can recommend lots!

I stayed in the castle with a group of friends for a long weekend. It was gorgeous - the castle is much bigger than I was expecting and very spacious despite some rooms / turrets being out of bounds. The team at Dalnaglar were very helpful and responsive. We booked 10 castle rooms, but one of them became unavailable at the last minute so we were given a room in the lovely Tower Cottage. We loved the fireplaces in the library and drawing room, and the large dining room. The loch on the estate is beautiful, and there's so much walking to do right on your doorstep without needing to get in a car.
