A unique chance to be laird of your own castle - on the shores of Loch Ness, Aldourie is a fully staffed castle that has been restored to its former glory, oozing period charm and grandeur with modern touches.  Guests (up to 28 in the main castle and 15 more in three estate cottages) have the freedom of the 500 acre estate as well as a host of activities including games room, croquet and football, so those with a competitive streak will find plenty to keep themselves entertained.

From £3,500 per week for the castle.
