About this castle / palace rental

Guests have said that it is just like having your own stately home for the weekend and there is certainly a Downton Abbey feel about Kinblethmont House.

Its unique atmosphere comes from the house's Victorian pedigree mixed with its contemporary comfort and homliness. Please scroll down to the bottom of the facilities section to see links to our own website and video -it will give you a good idea of what it is like on Kinblethmont estate. Kinblethmont House is situated about 4 miles from Arbroath.

There are 14 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms so we can comfortably accommodate up to 28 but it also works well with smaller groups.

Having had many family parties here ourselves, we can thoroughly recommend Kinblethmont as a large holiday home for gatherings of friends or family reunions for short breaks or weekly lets. In the summer you can play croquet or badminton, visit the unspoilt beach at Lunan Bay or just relax on the sheltered terrace in the sun with a coffee or gin and tonic while the children (of all ages!) play.

All around you can hear wonderful birdsong and if you are patient you can hear the drumming of the woodpeckers that regularly visit the feeders outside the kitchen. The house is set amidst mature woodland with specimen trees and there are some lovely woodland walks around the estate at all times of year. The immediate area is also particularly suitable for cycling.

In the winter you may prefer to cuddle up in front of a roaring log fire and play parlour games or try your luck at snooker or table tennis. The more adventurous may even decide to check out the snow sports at Glen Shee or the Lecht. Whatever the weather the children will have huge fun exploring the extensive woodland policies or playing hide and seek.

All house lets include linen, towels, bathrobes, electricity, central heating and logs for fires. We can also arrange child and baby furniture (cots, high chairs etc) and office facilities.
For those wanting some help with catering we have contacts that can provide special meals, some food for you to put in the oven or full catering - just ask and we will put you in touch with one of our excellent local caterers
We also have good contacts and ideas for special days out.

Please enquire prior to booking so we can make sure Kinblethmont House is right for you.

Americans & Brits all met for a large family reunion at Kinblethmont! The stay was perfect. Communication with Jess & Gem was easy, helpful and kind. The house was absolutely beautiful and always had exactly what was needed- an extra tablecloth, an immersion blender, sharp kitchen knives, etc! Local recommendations from Gem were all spot on as well. A glorious stay!

Stayed with a large group of friends and the property is absolutely fantastic. Everything you need is there and Jessica and Gemma were so helpful from start to finish. Gardens are beautiful and even the weather cooperated! I thoroughly recommend Kinblethmont if you are lucky enough to have the chance.

This property is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend and would to do this again if we had another large group. Was able to accommodate 22 of us with plenty of extra space and beds leftover. The gardens and grounds are beautiful. The host, Jessica, was very responsive, thoughtful, and nice throughout the entire process. Gemma, the property manager, was so helpful with everything and gave us a wonderful tour and welcome. The recommendation to use Sinclair's for catering was also spot-on and a must. No complaints at all, highly highly recommend this property. Do not hesitate to book.

What an outstanding property. I couldn’t have hoped for any more for my birthday party. The house is incredible. There were 24 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The public rooms are special. Dinner was a tremendous success. Couldn’t have hoped for more

The Big House at Kinblethmont was the ideal setting for our family reunion (group of 26). The house was beyond what we expected and as great as it looked in pictures, it was even better in person. Everything we could have needed was provided for, the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were well stocked – and all our family were asking where the linens were from, since they liked them so much. The central location allowed us to plan daily excursions to various sites, including a local distillery, the town of Arbroath, St. Andrews, Balmoral Castle and even a drive through the Highlands. The owners (Jessica and Robert) have preserved the character of the home, providing a unique and fun experience, while also ensuring modern amenities and facilities that can support large groups, such as ours. Gemma was fantastic to work with in planning our visit and was available and responsive to all our questions.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. 15 of us gathered to celebrate a birthday and not only was the house incredibly beautiful and big enough for all of us to be more than comfortable, Gemma went out of her way to help us plan and make things as easy as possible including helping us find caterers, entertainment, and more. Jessica also came to speak with us and share history about the estate. The moment we left we all already began talking about coming back again. At first we thought we might be too remotely located…however, once we got to the mansion, no one wanted to leave except for a day of golf. Thank you, Jessica and Gemma for a magical vacation.

We had a fabulous family gathering and in no small part to this wonderful place. Lots of activities, beautiful rooms and gardens and plenty of space to be social or find a room to read a book. Hosts were amazing and responsive. Local golf courses were fab too. Highly recommended. Thank you!
