  • Evening meals showcasing the best local ingredients

Prefer an inn over a castle?


Our refurbished riverside hotel, just ten minutes downstream, pairs 19th-century granite charm with modern comfort. Wake to views of the River Don, secure permits at reception, and end the day with local venison, an EV-friendly charger outside, and a whisky list that ranges from Speyside elegance to peaty island fire.
