Nestled deep within the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park, this private Highland mansion invites you to a festive escape like no other.

Here, time is measured not in hours, but in memories.

Ring in the New Year at Candacraig with the below suggested itinerary...

The journey through the Cairngorms in winter is nothing short of magical, and inside, the warmth of Highland hospitality awaits. Begin your stay with a festive toast in the Whisky Library, and let the celebration of an extraordinary New Year begin.

Start the last day of the year with a hearty Scottish breakfast before a day at your own pace. As evening falls, anticipation grows! Hogmanay comes alive with a sumptuous four-course dinner showcasing the finest local flavours, followed by a spirited ceilidh. Music, laughter, and dancing fill the air, and as midnight arrives, step outside into the crisp Highland night. Beneath a canopy of stars, raise your glass to Auld Lang Syne and welcome the New Year in unparalleled style.

Spend the first day of 2027 in pure comfort. Savour a leisurely brunch, perhaps accompanied by a Bloody Mary or two, before taking a restorative stroll through the frosted woods. Relax and curl up with a warming cup of cocoa or dram of whisky by the fire in the afternoon, and let time slow. The day culminates with a final evening meal, a relaxed and heartfelt celebration of shared moments, gratitude, and the joy of being together.
