Kincardine Castle was built as an 'entertaining machine' - a job which it does as well today as it did then. We stress that Kincardine is a private house, not an hotel. It does need a minimum number to make the house party concept work and we only accept bookings from groups of six or more. Only one group at a time are permitted access to Kincardine so your house party will be an exclusive affair.

From the moment you step into the marble entrance hall you are welcomed into a warm and friendly atmosphere of elegant comfort. 

The special delight of Kincardine is the fact that you are not only entering a fine country house but that you are spending time with the Laird and his family. Your hosts, Andrew and Nicola Bradford are amusing, intelligent conversationalists, musical and cultured. They have great knowledge and experience of life in Kincardine and on the estate and you will certainly learn a great deal about events on a Scottish country estate. Above all, they love entertaining.

“We shall never forget the extraordinary warmth of your welcome at Kincardine. You two are wonderful hosts and you spoilt us rotten. You have a very special house, and you have the great gift of being able to share it with people you’ve never met before, treat them as friends and make them feel completely at home.”

"A time of extraordinary friendship in the warmest of family settings. We indeed felt like royalty."

We don't think we can say much more! On our References page you can read what other people have to say about us.

 

Food and wines are excellent. Where possible we use local produce and the result is magnificent cuisine with the ambience of a graceful dinner party in the grandest of surroundings..

 

When you select Kincardine you are choosing exclusivity. The only people your party will share the house with are your hosts - relaxation, with privacy and discretion, is guaranteed.
