This is Dalnaglar Castle, in Blacklunans, Perthshire. As you'd expect, it's a big place. It sleeps twenty, and there are ten bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It's got a 5 Star rating.
The castle is from the 18th century. It was a hunting lodge originally. It's on a private estate about a mile and a half off the main road, up its own track. The setting is elevated, so you get good views. It's surrounded by lawns, there's a pond, and you can walk around the grounds. The estate has its own loch which is well-stocked for fishing, just for guests staying at the castle.
Inside, the rooms are spacious. There's a large drawing room, a dining room that looks out over the garden, and a library with books in it. The furnishings are elegant and comfortable. It works well for big groups wanting to get together.
You're about nine miles from a shop, a pub, and a restaurant. For skiing, the Glenshee ski resort is a short drive away. For walking, you're in a good spot. The Cateran Trail is nearby, and you've got access to paths in the Southern Cairngorms if you're after Munros. The estate grounds themselves have some excellent walks. For other activities, there's local fishing on the River Shee, horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, and golf courses all around.
