Laird's Kitchen

We absolutely love it here. The walks around the estate woodland are beautiful, well maintained and easy to access. The accommodation in the castle and the old stables is homely and comfortable. The food from The Lairds Kitchen is home made, fresh and delicious. We visit Aberdeenshire annually and always call here for lunch, or to stay. They don’t take dogs in the accommodation unfortunately, though.

A great experience and well worth a visit. We done the self tour, and the explanation in each room was plenty to explain it all well. You can't do it if you are a wheelchair user or limited mobility due to having to go up the long spiral stone staircase. We went into the tea shop and the food was great and thoroughly delicious 😋 A great choice and highly recommended

We went for lunch last weekend and it was delicious as usual 😊 we got there just on noon and got a table no problem, however they do take reservations as the tea room is quite small and gets busy very quickly over lunchtime so if you were travelling from afar, might be better to phone and reserve. After our lunch, me and mum had a slice of the lemon cake - home baked and fantastic 😋 Definitely worth a visit either for coffee and cake or get lunch, all their food is great.

We had a great week in the Hayfield Appartment at Delgatie Castle! It was very clean, fresh and tastfully decorated for a oldieworldie, vintage castle feel. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we were looking for and had appliances including a washing machine, microwave, freezer and dishwasher. The bed was very comfy and the linen felt quite luxurious. There are walks in Dalgetie woods within the castle grounds, and a great little coffee shop within the castle - 'The Lairds Kitchen'. There is also a lovely little gift shop and you can visit the castle on a self-guided tour which we found very interesting. Despite it being a tourist attraction we didn't find this a bother at all as the entrance to the suite is to the back of the castle. Parking is to the rear of the castle for staff and holiday guests and a short walk from the entrance to the Hayfield suite. We could bring our car to nearer the entrance for unpacking though. We had a baby with us and this posed no problem at all. It is a great location for exploring and there is so much to do in the close vicinity. We couldn't fit it all into a week so we will definitely need to visit again!
