About this apartment rental
Set in a hamlet a few hundred yards from Blair Castle & Gardens, Old Blair started life as an inn. It is now a comfortable lodge surrounded by landscaped parklands, farmland and miles of way-marked trails. The lodge is filled with period charm and has an open fire in the sitting room. Sleeping up to ten guests in the main lodge, and two in the connecting annexe with its own separate sitting room; Old Blair is popular for family breaks, castle wedding guests and festive family gatherings. Old Blair’s garden runs into the ruins of St. Brides Kirk and from there you can continue walking into Diana’s Grove, Hercules Garden or up into the hills of the Cairngorm National Park. Included in your stay, guests receive free access to Blair Castle & Gardens.

A return visit to Old Blair for a big birthday celebration- all was lovely- liked the new kitchen - however there was a stain on the top floor carpet which took 3 days to get an explanation for (cleaning fluid spill by housekeeper) and the dish washer ceased functioning after 2 days. Apart from that all was well.

We had a wonderful stay at old Blair. The accommodation is spacious and is very well equipped to cater for 12 people. The beds are comfortable and the water is always piping hot. Old Blair is very close to all amenities and there are wonderful walks just outside the door.
Tesco delivered our food to the door just after we arrived.
We were lucky enough to be staying when the weather was wonderful and we were able to eat outside in the sunshine on most days.
The young children who stayed really loved the adventure playground near the castle and the old dog loved lazing around on the grass. It was a very relaxing week and we will definitely be back.

Old Blair Lodge was perfect to accommodate the family who had travelled for the wedding at Blair Castle. We were able to have family dinners and entertain many friends in the dinning room. The groom, best man and groomsmen all dressed and walked down to the castle as did the rest of the family. It was a wonderful venue and being able to stay so close in such a superb setting made this a special very memorable occasion.
Thank you Old Blair.

For what we wanted, this was an absolutely superb venue and location! A classic old property within the castle grounds, it is very well maintained and has everything you need while being in a beautiful location, nestled at the foot of the hills. Plenty of space inside and out, everything was easy and everything was good quality throughout our visit. Granted, the weather was brilliant during our time, which I suppose adds some gloss too!

We have been coming to Old Blair for a while now, annually with friends and children, always a joy.
Very comfortable beds and warm duvets and lovely fluffy pillows. Bathrooms well appointed, lashings of hot water, and heating when you want to use it. dining room is perfect for gatherings , sitting room lovely and warm.
New Kitchen which has been put in for this year, really nice but could do with an old, just a small table to cut food on with maybe an inset marble top to cut on as there is no spot to do that without potentially destroying the new formica top, where stuff is put on, and no room, but it is very functional otherwise. Maybe sharpen the knives ! maybe a couple more tea towels only 3 available, had to be washed every day.
Bins now sorted outside which is great as before bottles were just outside back door, now there is the big bin! so much more orderly.
Generally it was noted by us that any refurbishment required has been done, there really isnt anything we could fault.
Hopefully we will be allowed back next year.

Our two families and various dogs have been going to Old Blair for the past 14 years. We always enjoy our visit to this fabulous old house and the beautiful area. It is an excellent location for lots of long walks and cycles. We love the familiarity, comfort and homeliness of Old Blair.

Despite the early season we found Old Blair to be warm and comfortable (in fact sometimes too warm if the bedroom radiators were on!). We enjoyed walks through the woods below the house -with some amazing trees- leading to the Castle which is worth visiting. Great for a large group especially in conjunction with Forest Lodge.
A great location for the Munro baggers and fine hills worthy of a repeat visit.

We have been coming to Old Blair for 11 years and nothing about it ever disappoints. It is a dream place for families of all ages . The lodge is perfectly fitted out and the situation could not be better. Literally acres of space in and outdoors for children .
For walkers it is paradise and for those guests who are stalking or fishing it would be impossible to be better looked after.

An excellent place to hold a reunion. There was numerous walks in a remarkably beautiful countryside and a splendid castle and gardens to explore.
