This castle was lovingly remodeled in the 1980s to be as historic as possible yet with modern features (bathrooms, electricity). It’s the real experience and Nicola, the current owner, takes great pride in its history! She also serves a wonderful breakfast in the old kitchen castle. Definitely a lovely experience. Our room was huge and bed was comfortable. You are also surrounded by Leslie history if that clan is your family history roots.

Once in a lifetime stay!

Nicola and her husband were a delight to stay with at Leslie Castle (the name “Leslie” has special meaning to me). My mom and I definitely wanted to stay in a castle on our trip and this was a good use of our time and money. The tour and historical talk by Nicola were really helpful and interesting and the food was excellent. There’s not much around, so definitely opt for the dinner on-site. Please book directly with Leslie Castle if you can, also, and avoid these third parties.

Very comfortable. Friendly family.

A little blown away with the amount of work involved to renovate this castle and it looks in keeping with historical era yet was beautiful and comfortable with modern facilities. The family who own and operate the business are very friendly and happily showed us around. Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay.

Beautiful 16th century castle in the countryside

This was a beautiful castle situated among the hills of the Aberdeen countryside. The owners are very kind and excited to own this castle. They are knowledgeable about the castle and it’s past. Delicious dinner was served complete with sticky pudding with fresh cream. Also wonderful breakfast . Oh and in a castle a bed comfortable for for a king.

A uniquely tremendous experience

If you think you know peace and quiet then think again as this place is spectacular. We stayed for one night at the castle and was greeted by the future baron and baroness (John and Nicola). Two very welcoming, warm people who are fantastic hosts. The room was very clean, perfect temp, spacious and the beds very so comfortable. The views are tremendous and the gardens are lovely. It’s great nowadays you can have a place with no TVs or phone signal (for me) and rely on good old conversation for company. Round the open fire at night was lovely and as per other reviews, Johns cooking is pretty good. Jeremy (Nic and Johns son) is a lovely child and spent the evening with us to chatting away about his school life etc. We will definitely visit again and bring our own children next time to see the fantastic venue. Thank you. Marc and Vanessa.
