Reimagining Aldourie Castle
Stay in a 300-year-old baronial castle, transformed into an exclusive property surrounded by 500 acres of gardens, woodland, and wildflower meadows, with Dream Escape's luxury trips to the Scottish Highlands.
Owned by Wildland Limited, Aldourie Castle is part of a unique 200-year vision to conserve the Scottish Highlands. After almost five years of renovations, the castle is now available to Dream Escape clients, offering a seamless blend of Scottish country-house design and modern amenities.
With 12 bedrooms, a great hall, a billiards room, a library, and five private cottages, Aldourie is the perfect retreat for up to 24 guests. Each room is individually designed to reflect the castle's rich history and unique character, with antique furniture, Scottish textiles, and original artwork. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of Loch Ness and the surrounding countryside from the comfort of their rooms, or explore the castle's extensive grounds and gardens.
The estate offers innumerous opportunities for outdoor activities, such as boat trips, wild hikes, garden tours, cookery demonstrations, whisky tasting, and yoga. Whether you're a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, Aldourie Castle has something for everyone. You can take a leisurely stroll along the shores of Loch Ness, explore the nearby forests and hills, or even try your hand at fly fishing in one of the estate's many rivers and streams.
Aldourie's owners, Anne and Anders Holch Povlsen, are passionate environmentalists who hope to inspire guests to contribute towards Wildland's mission to protect and rewild the Scottish Highlands. The estate is a prime example of sustainable tourism, with a focus on conservation, biodiversity, and community engagement. Guests can learn about the history and culture of the Scottish Highlands, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing this unique ecosystem.
In addition to its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, Aldourie Castle offers world-class hospitality and personalised service.
