Castle Rental Details

Cray is an absolute delight, tucked away within its own secluded grounds and yet with spectacular views down Glenshee “The Glen of the Fairies”. This very pretty three storey 18th century house, oozes traditional charm and character, and provides excellent holiday accommodation for families and groups of friends to enjoy that special occasion or simply to spend time together in the peace and quiet. It is extremely comfortable and welcoming whilst avoiding any sense of being intimidating or too grand – perfect for family holidays.

A graceful drawing room is tastefully furnished with comfort and elegance in mind, and together with an open fire and views over the gardens to the loch and boat house, this is a delightful room to enjoy and relax in. The spectacular dining room is perfect for both formal and informal dining and the two well equipped kitchens are ideal for catering for larger parties. Two further sitting rooms provide flexibility for mixed parties, and together with a breakfast room and large kitchen/diner make this house ideal for all requirements. Upstairs the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with the two main bedrooms both having an en-suite bathroom. All the bedrooms to the front of the house on both floors benefit from the spectacular views down Glenshee, whilst the bedrooms to the back of the house offer comfortable and flexible accommodation suitable for family groups, children and adults alike.

Cray is situated within delightful grounds, with lawn, mature trees and shrubs providing habitat to a variety of wildlife including numerous red squirrels that bounce round the trees and garden and the salmon populated River Shee providing part of the garden boundary (fishing by arrangement). The loch, complete with boat and boat house, is an idyllic spot to while away the hours fishing for trout or just messing about on the water, whilst the playground area is perfect to keep the children occupied, with a seesaw, 4 swings, including child swings, trampoline, flying fox, large basket swing and a large slide, providing hours of entertainment.
