Such a memorable stay! Driving through the Aberdeenshire countryside wondering where we were headed - we shouldn't have worried! Warm hospitality, unique and comfortable rooms, delicious food, and fascinating history awaited us. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this special place. From the four poster bed, to the regal dining room, to the windows, stairs, garden, and historic touches - not to mention the lovely dinner and breakfast - all made for a highlight of our trip to Scotland. Thank you Nicola and John for your attention to detail and warm welcome!

Un château en Écosse ! Charmant BB au milieu la campagne Écossaise, pas très loin de Aberdeen. Parfais pour rayonner dans cette région. Excellent accueil de John et Nicole. Évidemment le côté magique de ce séjour c'est le château. Très bien restauré et aménagé, avec de grande chambre. Celle tout en haut comporte des tourelles dans lesquelles vous pouvez voir les oiseaux nicher. Le plus c'est l'option dîner servie sur place dans la salle à manger du château ! Ainsi vous voilà châtelain pour quelques soir. Nous ne sommes restés que 2 nuits, nous aurions bien prolongé notre séjour... Petit plus, il y a un piano à queue dans la salle du petit-déjeuner (qui est copieux et avec d'excellentes produits).

Truly Special On our recent one-month trip to the UK, we stayed in 17 different lodgings--yikes! Leslie Castle was far and away the best of the bunch and a true highlight. You're staying in a true castle--our bathroom even had a turret! John, Nicola and family are truly gracious and the entire experience was awesome. Do yourself and favor and have dinner there, but know that you must bring your own wine/alcohol (they will happily bring you glasses and ice for your cocktails). Wish we had stayed more than one night.

If a castle can be cozy this one is. John and his daughter greeted us warmly upon arrival and our entire visit with the host family was very comfortable. Learning about the history of the castle and Clan Leslie made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommend this unique accommodation.

A brilliant stay in a very special castle. We really enjoyed our stay and meal with Nicola and John. The kids loved exploring the castle and were kept thoroughly entertained. We were very impressed by the balance that had been struck between honoring the legacy of the building and making it practical and inviting for guests. Each corner turned yielded something exciting and the bedrooms were high quality and cozy while still reminding you you were in a castle...with turrets! We felt pampered by the surroundings and service and loved the details from the period designed furniture and surroundings to the tour of the castle!

Everything I’d hoped for and more! Do yourself a favor and book at least one night here! The setting is so serene, the castle and grounds delightful, the food amazing and the hosts kind. This was a highlight of our week in the highlands, such a great find!!!

Coup de cœur en Ecosse C'est l'adresse qui nous a marqué lors de ce séjour en Ecosse. Un petit château plein de charme caché dans la campagne (pas évident à trouver même avec un GPS). L'accueil très chaleureux de John et Nicole et le repas qu'ils nous ont concocté resteront de merveilleux souvenirs. Et nous conseillons de choisir la grande chambre sous les combles avec son alcôve si romantique.

Beautiful castle, comfortable stay We had an enjoyable one night stay on the third floor. John and Nicola, the owners, were excellent hosts. We highly recommend this castle to anyone staying in the area. The breakfast was also excellent.

Wonderful Experience Absolutely lovely castle with a wonderful family as caretakers. The food is superb and John an excellent chef. Nicola does a great job keeping it all running. A treat to have the kids as part of the family atmosphere. We sure hope we can some again sometime!

Amazing! Stayed at the castle on the night of our 25th wedding Anniversary. Our room was beautiful and spacious and the bed was so comfortable! We had dinner at the castle and it was delicious. It was wonderful to have a home cooked meal after days of eating in restaurants. Breakfast was also delicious with plenty of variety. The castle itself is beautiful and in a peaceful country setting. Overall a wonderful experience, we would definitely recommend to our friends and family.

Leslie Castle is a treasure. We loved our accommodations and hearing about its long history. Our room was lovely and... the dinner was tasty and wonderful. This was one of the highlights of our two weeks in Scotland. We are so happy we made it part of our travels and would highly recommend a stay at Leslie Castle.read more

We spent 3 days and nights at Leslie Castle in early September 2018. John and Nicola were awesome hosts, excellent... preparers of breakfasts and dinners and very knowledgeable about the area. Make sure you meet up with David and Leslie Leslie who were responsible for the re-build of the Castle.read more

My wife and I went there on our anniversary. It was also special that I was a direct Leslie descendant. You were... extremely nice and accommodating. Almost like family that we didn't know that we had. I know that we will be planning on coming back there in the future. Wonderful, wonderful food and awesome memories. A must see in Scotland.read more

We stayed in Leslie Castle with friends of ours that have the name Leslie it was an amazing experience and a must if in Scotland as you get a great feel of what it was like but we did have a problem and that was our height as long the doorways you have to duck through but a great experience and would definitely do it again. We had a beautiful home cooked meal by the owners and loved listening to the children in the house.

Wonderful place to spend some time. Lots of history and all well preserved. The Baron and Baroness put on great meals. Rooms are huge and very castle like. Picturesque area. Loved my time here and wouldn't hesitate to come again.

In one word: SPECIAL. This was our first stay in a castle, and our very first stay on our first trip to Scotland. For my friend Christine and me, this fun and intimate castle home didn't disappoint. Although our stay was short, we can't say enough about the warmth and care of this beautiful family. Comfortable, cozy, clean, good fresh food, great hosts. Easily accessible and a tad off the beaten path, the castle offers scenery of farm life and small village and historical connection. There are stairs for those who have trouble climbing steps but what is a castle without a winding stairway. Loved it!! In two words: WORTH IT.

Great place to stay was cosy and comfortable , the breakfast was exceptional wanted to stay longer but just a stop off for the night , we were glad to get a guided tour of the castle and was told to look about ourselves as plenty nooks and crannies to be explored.. the owners were really lovely and made us feel very welcome and privileged would definitely stay again was a real treat..

A one-of-a-kind experience living for a couple of nights like royalty! You feel more like a friend than a guest. Lovely, quiet locale, delicious breakfast, charming host. Having a car is best for this spot.

A wonderful, enchanting place, set in a landscape of complete tranquillity. The host is so wonderfully accommodating. Simply divine ....
