Graham + Sibbald are delighted to offer the Castle Hotel, Huntly, Aberdeenshire for sale. Situated on the northern outskirts of Huntly, close to the ruins of the 15th Century Huntly Castle (from which the hotel now derives its name), an impressive, wood lined, long driveway leads to the front of the Castle Hotel. The original parts of the Castle Hotel are believed to date from c.1752, when it was then known as Sandieston House, which was extended extensively by the Dukes of Gordon family in the early 1800s (and renamed as Huntly Lodge) to create the now impressive mansion house with its appealing Georgian features and proportions.
The property was converted to hotel use in 1946 and naturally has, over the intervening 70+ years, been improved/refurbished, to meet 21st century standards, to create the now the impressive and quality, small, country house hotel. The hotel accommodation provides a good range of stylish bedroom types; complimented well with the range of attractive and capacious public rooms.
