With testimonials like the one below from these guests, who wouldn't want to stay...
"Snuggling next the blazes in the majestic fireplaces, playing board games in the wood panelled drawing room and relishing the delish meals, we had a wonderfully memorable New Year's family get-away at Blackcraig's impressive baronial castle and grounds. Yet the hospitality triumph of the holiday are the team at Blackcraig, led by the owner's super-capable and friendly daughter Linzi. From the get-go, Linzi was fabulous communicating with us, arranging Hogmanay reservations and transport and catering to our every whim. Chef Laura is AMAZING with gastronomic talent spanning global cuisines (experienced superyacht chef) and Claire was an amiable friendly butler. They truly make you feel both at home --- while spoiling you rotten. Bravo! "
