"A wonderful stay in a beautiful house"
Everything was perfect, from the first contact via email to the delicious breakfast before departure. The suite (Mrs. Grant's suite) even exceeded our expectations. it was decorated with great taste and high-quailty furniture. The view from the bedroom is beautiful, you look into a romantic rural landscape. The house has been renovated with taste and respect for the historic architecture, a true gem. The hosts are incredibly friendly, many thanks again! Read less

We had a warm welcome and felt at home at once. The room was marvellous, so was the sitting room were we had tea close to a cosy fire and an annimated conversation with our lovely host who seems to know almost everything about art and history. Read less

The owners have obviously invested a lot of blood sweat and tears to make it what it is today and you feel their engagement in every aspect. It makes the house very special.

An historic stately home, faithfully restored, set amidst wildlife-filled parkland near the Aberdeenshire coast and offering old-fashioned hospitality - if Scotland is your favoured destination then try to make Cairness House part of your trip. Dating back to the 1790s, the house was designed by noted architect James Playfair and is widely acknowledged as the most important Greek Revival country house in Scotland. This extraordinary neoclassical building has had its fine features restored and is sumptuously decorated and furnished – not forgetting the comfort of modern conveniences – which makes a stay here a history-laden treat.

The grounds around the house have been planted with over 3,000 trees including 150 rare specimens in an arboretum, attracting deer, hawks and other wildlife. Inside, original colour schemes, antiques and paintings all go to reinforce the impression that you have stepped back to another time.

Guest bedrooms are individually furnished with four poster beds, linen and comfortable en suite or private bathrooms and all rooms overlook the surrounding countryside and gardens. Refreshingly, there are no televisions – this is the place to come to for peace and quiet, reading by the fire, and just to escape from the modern world. Breakfast and dinner, if taken, are served in a charming Georgian kitchen and feature local produce and traditional Scottish fare to set you up for a day’s exploring this beautiful area.
