About this property
Historic Fairytale Lickleyhead Castle
Lickleyhead Castle is a luxury, exclusive use group accommodation venue. We now host weddings. Contact the management to find out more. Lickleyhead is a Grade A listed historic building from the 16th century. It can accommodate up to 16 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs. Despite it's grandeur the castle feels very much like a home with 2 working fireplaces. The smell of woodsmoke greets you as you climb the stone staircase. Outside, the sound of running water and abundant birdlife combine to provide an atmosphere of peace, calm and tranquility.
Each of the bedrooms have been styled to reflect the period of former owner's of note. This includes our 17th century box bedroom which has proven to be a great favourite with our guests and the Victorian nursery on the very top floor. The castle grounds which are exciting to explore, extend to 11 acres, with 2 burns (streams), rope swings to discover, not to mention a ruined archway and a bird hide. We are also situated on the lower slopes of Bennachie which of course means plenty of wonderful walks from the doorstep.
The whole building will be yours!
