A memorable and unique experience awaits you at Rothes Glen!

Rothes Glen is a luxury castle perfect for larger groups wanting to enjoy Speyside with its wealth of famous whisky distilleries and salmon fishing on the River Spey. The castle is surrounded by beautiful countryside offering a wealth of opportunities for outdoor pursuits including walking, cycling, salmon fishing, stalking, and shooting.

Rothes Glen has 14 king-size en suite bedrooms sleeping up to 28 guests, a stunning drawing room and dining room, breakfast room, library, snooker room, tasting room, whisky vault and tower room. Set within 11 acres of grounds and an idyllic lochan, there are outdoor terraces, heated kennels and sporting rooms to ensure you can enjoy the best of Speyside’s magnificent scenery.

On arrival you receive a dram of the house whisky, and each bedroom contains a decanter and set of Glencairn glasses to enjoy during your stay. The team are on hand to ensure your stay is a memorable one, and the castle manager is available to plan itineraries, book activities and assist you with any enquiries.

Dinner is a wonderful affair, with the in-house private chef sourcing the very best of ingredients from Scotland’s abundant larder.  The dining room, with its richly decorated plaster ceiling, is the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.

After dinner, head to the drawing room with its baby grand piano, and adjoining library for a post dinner “dram” or enjoy a game of snooker on the full-sized table. Or climb the stairs to the whisky observatory in the tower, who knows you may even spot the Northern Lights! With wood fires in all the public rooms, a warm welcome awaits.

For those wishing to explore the many whisky experiences in the area, Rothes Glen is in the heart of the region. The owner of Rothes Glen founded Scotland Magazine and Whisky Magazine, so you can expect Scottish heritage and a great whisky range throughout the castle.  With its own whisky tasting room, the castle is prepared to deliver the very best whisky experience. The attentive team at Rothes Glen can assist with organising unique whisky tours, including food-pairing tastings, as well as access to closed distilleries who do not normally open their doors to the public, with whisky personalities, blenders, ambassadors, and distillery managers.

The 11 acres of picturesque gardens and grounds includes a patio area with a firepit, as well as a private lochan with rowing boat, and a selection of outdoor games to be enjoyed. There is a helicopter landing area in the front meadow.
