Ardverikie Estate

Holiday Cottages

Sleeping from 3 to 13 people in a variety of locations around the Estate we have properties to suit all sizes of group and budget, and they are all dog friendly too!

Those people booking our cottages may also enjoy (subject to availability) the unique privilege of being able to book exclusive tours of the main reception rooms of Ardverikie Castle, to see inside a family home which has remained largely untouched since it was built in the nineteenth century as the ultimate expression of Victorian Gothic splendour.

Wildlife at Ardverikie

Ardverikie is one of Scotland’s oldest and most famous deer forests. Having been in the same ownership for over 150 years, Ardverikie is in the unique position of having been sympathetically managed with a core value of environmental stewardship for that entire period.

This has led to the diverse landscape and species mix that we are able to enjoy today. Our herd of over 1000 Red Deer roam the hills around the estate, and are carefully managed to ensure not only their health and vitality but also to make sure that their numbers do not adversely affect the habitat.
