Easter Caiplich - a holiday cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Get away from life’s pressures in the attractively refurbished Easter Caiplich, situated within the gorgeous Dalnaglar Castle estate, on the southern fringe of the Cairngorms National Park. The Hot Tub at Easter Caiplich is freshly filled and warmed up for your arrival to ensure you can truly relax and unwind during your stay.
Create lasting memories with friends and family in this delightful, single-level, three-bedroom cottage which sleeps five. Guests will enjoy the peace and tranquility of the estate, the surrounding natural beauty and the variety of adventuring opportunities on their doorstep, including the ski slopes of Glenshee, which are just a short drive away.
The light and welcoming open plan kitchen, dining and living area, has a wall-mounted 72” Plasma TV with Sky Sports and Movies packages. The newly refurbished kitchen is well-equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven and hob, microwave and Denby dinner service.

Two of the three attractively designed bedrooms are set up with twin beds and the other is a single room. One of the twin-rooms has its own en-suite shower room with power-shower, and the other has a spacious Jack and Jill en-suite shower room with power-shower, with a second door providing access from the hall.
Open the French doors onto the large enclosed grassed garden, where you can enjoy playing with family, relaxing in the six-person hot-tub or just sitting and taking in the breathtaking, rustic views over a quaint duck pond and the surrounding natural beauty.
Skiers and snowboarders will benefit from the proximity to the popular Glenshee Snowsports Centre, just ten miles away.
Walkers will love the Cateran Trail, with the second of the five stages of the 64-mile Trail passing through the estate. This stage takes you along a beautiful moorland route to the Trail's highest point between Strathardle and Glenshee, offering spectacular views of glens and rugged peaks.
The Estate also offers an ideal base for exploring the Cairngorms National Park. With a choice of 55 Munros (four of which are the highest mountains in the UK) for beginner and experienced hill walker to conquer. Kayakers and Canoeists will enjoy exploring the challenging network of rivers (instructor led beginner sessions can be arranged).
If you prefer to enjoy the wild highland scenery from the comfort of your car, you’ll love the breath taking 90-mile Snowroads stretch. The route, starting in the nearby market town of Blairgowrie, takes you past the Dalnaglar Estate and up through the East Cairngorms to the Highland town of Grantown-on-Spey.

Breathtaking scenery, especially in Autumn (colours are amazing). Lots to explore, loved the walks. Accommodation was clean and very comfortable. Loved lying in the hot-tub on a dark evening, after a long day's walking. Staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

I stayed for a week and I wish it was longer. The cottage and grounds was amazing, beautiful scenery, lovely walks and peace and quiet. Also had Fluffy Coos as neighbours which was great, they were so fascinating to watch. Was a little cold, but expected that for October, but it was made better thanks to the hot tub. I did not want to come home.

Loved our 5 nights at Easter Caiplich. Snow. Deer. Hot tub. Very comfortable beds. Warm house and an enormous TV. It was all the stuff of dreams for my three teenage sons! Thank you.

We stayed at Easter Caiplich with our family of four daughters - eldest 9 and youngest 3 months. It was idyllic. The cottage is cosy and well equipped. The hot tub was a huge family favourite with the added ducks and highland cows thrown in for company whilst relaxing. The weather was on our side so we had clear skies most nights. The grounds and Cateran trail walks were beautiful. We explored Pitlochry, Ballater and Braemar and loved every minute. We hope to return soon. It is a very special place.

Easter Caiplich is a lovely cottage on the beautiful estate of Dalnaglar. So many stunning walks right on your doorstep and of course fantastic hot tub with amazing views. Having the Highland Coos come up right up to the garden fence with their cute wee calves was just amazing! The cottage was very clean and homely. Garden was perfect for us and the dog who loved playing fetch in the big garden! Make sure to take all your essentials for your time at the cottage as the nearest shop is approx 30 mins away. The perfect place for a peaceful and relaxing break away to recharge the batteries, Only thing is remember to take midge spray for when you’re in the garden/hot tub in the evening! We would definitely go back for another stay!

Really lovely cottage in a stunningly beautiful area, the cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, the garden was large and secure for our dogs, the walks on the estate are fantastic. The only downside to our holiday was we we’re one of the many areas that lost power in the storm and had no power or heat for the last two days of our holiday but the estate manager checked on us several times and even filled our flask with hot water so we could have a hot drink, luckily we had two very good torches and spare batteries with us so had a little light in the cottage, the emergency power cut pack in the cottage consisted 5 tea lights a tiny torch and matches, would suggest this is improved. Overall we loved our holiday even the storm didn’t spoil it for us, the snow was amazing and we would highly recommend Easter Caiplich.

Wow! What a wonderful cottage and location! Set in a stunning castle estate. The cottage was clean and had all the things needed for a weeks stay. Blairgowrie is a easy drive to food groceries and quite a few places to visit, such as Pitlochry and Balmoral. Thank you to Helen and Rob and the team at Dalnglar Castle Estate. Definitely booking for next year.

We booked this long weekend due to our son being on a Residential in Dalnaglar Castle. We found these beautiful homes on the estate that looked perfect! It was just beautiful, the scenery, the home and the hot tub! Extremely therapeutic and just what us and the kids needed after a very busy and heavy few months! The place was very well equipped and exceeded our expectations and we will for sure be back!!

The cottage, castle and grounds are a lovely retreat for a quiet holiday barre also ideally located if you’re wanting something a bit more adventurous. We had everything we needed, like a home away from home - with the added bonus of the hot tub with an amazing view of the surrounding hills. We loved that we could see the local wildlife including the resident ducks, highland cows and deer. There’s plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas such as Pitlochry, Glenshee and Balmoral. It was ideally located for us wanting to travel further afield into the highlands too. Thanks for a great holiday and great memories!

Let me start with the negatives. When we arrived and I went to put dinner on for my son, we were greeted by a crisp, overdone fly in the oven tray within the oven, so we didn't get off to a great start there! We were also a little disappointed that there was not even a small amount of milk in the fridge for us to have a cuppa when we arrived. Maybe that could be something that is done for guests going forward. We did appreciate the coffee, teabags and sugar though. There was also no slippers which it was advertised there would be, but that wasn't a big deal. A wee welcome pack would have been nice, it's something we have had at all other cottages we have stayed at, but again, that's just a suggestion, nothing more. The living room/kitchen area is actually a little cramped for 2 adults a teenager and 2 medium sized dogs, so if you are a bigger party then be prepared that there is not tons of room. If you have a dog that doesn't appreciate wildlife, then beware that there WILL be wildlife at the bottom of the garden at times. In our case it was wonderful heilan' coos! Also, most of the fence in the enclosed garden is only 3ft high, so if you have a dog that is prone to jumping fences, then beware of that! There was no vacuum cleaner unless it was so well hidden we just couldn't find it! The wifi is patchy at best, but that's to be expected in the middle of the countryside, but I just want to give a full, honest review. The positives - Beds were VERY comfortable. The cottage was clean and well kept. The hot tub was lovely, and Rob arrived every morning to do whatever it is that needs to be done to the hot tub every morning. The walks around the estate are phenomenal, we enjoyed them as much as the dogs did. Again there is wildlife, so please have control of your dogs at all times. Bear in mind that you are in the middle of nowhere and that you will need to drive to get to a shop. We knew this before we arrived, it's not a complaint, I just want to make sure people know this. We used the shops in Blairgowrie, which is around 20 miles away, but there are small shops in Bridge of Cally and Glenshee which are a little closer. All in all it was a pleasant holiday. I'm not sure we'd go back, but that's not a reflection on Easter Caiplich or Dalnaglar Estate, it's just that for us, it wasn't the best place we have ever been for our needs (our son is autistic) Would I recommend it? Well, if someone asked me should they go, I would mention all of the above and on balance I would say yes, you should go if you want a nice, quiet and relaxing holiday. Or if you are happy to drive quite a few miles to get to attractions. We did enjoy our break, and at the end of the day, that is the important thing, so thank you Dalnaglar Estate!

Absolutely beautiful area, had such a lovely time. The location of the cottages was fantastic and quiet which was what we were looking for. The cottage was so spacious and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and more. Lovely enclosed garden which was excellent for the dog and we even had the pleasure of the highland cows sitting outside the garden fence. Would highly recommend Easter Caiplich to everyone looking for some relaxation, oh and the hot tub was such a treat. Only advice would be to remember and take insect repellent as expected it is in the country.

Easter Caiplich is a charming property that had everything we needed for our short stay.
