Description

Originally built in the 17th century, Candacraig was enlarged in the Scottish baronial style with its pepper pot turrets and crow stepped dormer windows by the Aberdeen architect ‘Tudor Johnny’ Smith in 1836. Extended at the turn of the 20th century, the house was partially reconstructed in 1955 by local architect Alexander McKenzie, whilst retaining its traditional Scottish style.

Candacraig is a family home, so although the decor is luxurious, the atmosphere is always relaxing and warming. From the moment you and your guests catch a glimpse of our 17th century Scottish baronial mansion, you will recognize that you have discovered an absolute gem of a luxury country house to make your own.

Guests enjoy exclusive use of the impressive formal Dining Room, Drawing Room, Games/Billiards Room, individually styled ensuite bedrooms.

Our resident concierge is available throughout your stay and will provide a daily service to make your stay more comfortable.

Outdoors, guests have full access to 18 acres of private woodland and manicured lawns, including a large Victorian walled garden, our very own lochan fed by the celebrated River Don and a woodland bonfire area – a very special spot to enjoy a dram by the fire.

We have a fantastic kitchen but it is required you add a private chef to take care of your meals. Onsite beauty therapy or hair styling (among other available amenities) are also available by by prior arrangement.
