A delightful Scottish refuge surrounded by an 11-acre estate, the Marcliffe Hotel & Spa hits just the right note between refined elegance and indulgent relaxation. Occupying a handsome white mansion, the hotel offers a sensational spa, seasonal Scottish produce in the restaurant and is a superb base from which to discover the region’s castle and whisky trails.

The Marcliffe Hotel & Spa is a charming, family-friendly and intimate hotel with a warm and easy-going ambience. Wandering through the house, you will discover a fine collection of paintings, porcelain, antique furniture and artifacts, including a display of 140 cheese dishes.

Relax in the Drawing Room next to a roaring log fire with its baby grand piano festooned with photos of visiting VIPs. Throughout the year, there is always an interesting activity nearby, from golf at the Royal Aberdeen Golf Club to salmon fishing on the River Dee and Don, or shooting and stalking on nearby estates. Alternatively, spend time simply luxuriating in the Marcliffe Hotel’s spa.
