Insch, Aberdeenshire

The West Wing of Lickleyhead Castle in Insch, Aberdeenshire, Scotland is a luxury accommodation venue that can sleep up to 12 adults, 2 children, and 3 dogs. This Grade A listed historic building from the 16th century exudes grandeur while still feeling like a welcoming home, with four working fireplaces and a cozy atmosphere enhanced by the smell of woodsmoke. The castle is surrounded by 11 acres of grounds with streams, rope swings, a ruined archway, and a bird hide, offering a peaceful and tranquil setting for guests to explore.

Each of the six bedrooms in the West Wing has been uniquely styled to reflect the period of former owners, such as the 16th century box bedroom and the Victorian nursery on the top floor. Guests can enjoy walks on the lower slopes of Bennachie right from the doorstep, as well as the abundance of birdlife and running water that contribute to the serene ambiance of the castle.
