About this property
Castle Balbegno is a luxurious awe-inspiring castle, sitting proudly in the village of Fettercairn, Scotland. Made up of a grand 18th Century house and an imposing 15th Century castle, this magnificent property provides a fabulous base for any group holiday or family celebration. Once home to the famous Gladstone family, this attractive accommodation is filled with fantastic family portraits and beautiful antique furnishings, giving you a sense of luxury from the moment you step through the front door. Cook up a storm in the quirky farmhouse kitchen where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast at the beautiful wood table, before heading outside to see everything Scotland has to offer. Spend your evenings socialising in the well-appointed dining room and admire the grand gold framed paintings of the home's former residents. Retire to the fabulous sitting room featuring a remarkable feature fireplace and traditional open fire that lies within, turning on the TV to find an entertaining movie for the whole group to enjoy. Kick back and relax in the swanky underground games room, once used as a dungeon back in the 15th Century, where you can enjoy a friendly game of pool or grab a drink from the wide selection available at the bar. Entertain your friends and family with a banquet in the grand hall boasting striking high ceilings and beautiful original oak flooring. At an additional cost, you can have someone dress the space for the occasion and hire out your very own private chef and butlers to serve your meal. Guests with limited mobility will benefit from two beautifully decorated bedrooms located on the ground floor, including a stunning powder blue double bedroom with a magnificent black four-poster bed and matching furniture or a snug single with bright red walls and charming oak bed. Climb the staircase to the first floor and discover two further double bedrooms, one of which was formerly the bedroom of William Ewart Gladstone, Britain's oldest Prime Minister. This bedroom has been styled with willow green walls and an attractive brass bed, making it a fabulous place to rest your head at the end of an action-packed day. The first floor is also home to a spacious family bedroom consisting of two double beds and an airy family bathroom boasting a traditional roll top bath and overhead shower. To the back of the property lies a pretty pink bedroom with two delightful oak beds, complete with crisp white bedding and an attractive armchair with a quirky Russian doll cushion. Spend summer days hosting friends and family in the garden exploring just some of the twenty-thousand acres of luscious green land. Take a relaxing stroll through Denlethen Woods or visit the nearby Edzell Castle to see its well-kept gardens and landscapes. Grab a drink at the local pub or pick up groceries at the supermarket for a quiet night of home-cooking. Head to St. Cyrus to hike the St. Cyrus National Nature Reserve Viewpoint for extraordinary land and seascapes like no other and walk along the pebbled sands of Inverbervie Beach.
