Symbister Suite Turriff

This is the Symbister Suite. It's in Delgatie Castle, about three miles outside Turriff in Aberdeenshire.

The suite is in the north wing of the castle. It sleeps five. Three bedrooms and one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating.

It's a proper castle, so the rooms are what you'd expect. High ceilings, old fireplaces, that sort of thing. The stairs are castle stairs, so they're stone and can be uneven. Watch your step.

You've got the place to yourselves, but the castle grounds and the tea room are open to the public during the day. The tea room does good cake. If you want a quiet morning, you might hear visitors in the hall outside, but it's only during opening hours.

Your part has its own garden and parking. There's a washing machine, WiFi, and bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and highchair. No pets, sorry.

Turriff has shops and things. There's a sports centre with a pool a short drive away. You're well placed for fishing, golf, or horse riding if that's your thing.

The coast is about half an hour's drive. Places like Pennan, which is that village from the film Local Hero, or Fraserburgh. If you want distilleries, there are plenty around Speyside within 30 minutes. For history, you've got Fyvie Castle or Leith Hall nearby.

If you're coming with a bigger group, you can book this suite together with the Hayfield apartment next door.
