Candacraig Christmas Package 2026

Deep within the pristine Cairngorms National Park, this private Highland mansion opens its doors for a festive escape like no other. Imagine snow-kissed pines, the comforting scent of woodsmoke curling from open fires, and a warm, golden glow that draws you in. A setting made for moments you'll treasure forever!

At Candacraig, Christmas unfolds entirely on your terms. No schedules, no to-do-lists, just three nights of indulgence and quiet luxury, shared with those who matter most.

Here, every detail is designed so that memories, not clocks, mark the hours.

Your Candacraig Christmas Experience suggested itinerary...

Step inside on Christmas Eve to the warmth of a roaring fire and the inviting aroma of mulled wine. Coats are hung, luggage whisked away, and glasses are raised; a perfect prelude to the days ahead. Dinner is a true Highland welcome: a gourmet festive feast, accompanied by your favourite fine wines. As fireside chatter flows into the night, the mountains stand silent beneath a canopy of stars, and you slip away for a luxurious night's slumber.

Wake to a leisurely breakfast and the soft sparkle of a festive morning. Champagne flows as gifts are exchanged beneath the tree, laughter filling every corner. By midday, the long Christmas table is set in the tartan Highland dining room, adorned with crystal, candlelight, and the rich aromas of a celebratory feast. Glasses clink, stories are shared and time slows. A Christmas to remember!

In the afternoon, wander the snow dusted gardens, steal quiet moments by the fire with a dram and a good book, or gather loved ones for games and laughter. As night falls, the fires are stoked once more, and for these few hours, there's nowhere better to be - a sanctuary of comfort, warmth and joy.

Awaken late on Boxing Day, no rush, no noise, just the scent of fresh coffee and the gentle crackle of logs. Another day of Highland indulgence awaits. Explore winter trails across the nearby hills, wander into the village, or remain cocooned indoors with your favourite people.

Your farewell dinner offers the perfect finale; a relaxed celebration of the finest local cuisine, paired with exquisite wines. As the fire burns low and the last glasses are raised, the magical moments captured at Candacriag will linger long after the snow has melted.
