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.

Old Blair Lodge was perfect for a week with dear friends. We hiked, biked, visited the area, enjoyed the castle and beautiful gardens. Estate staff were super organized and responsive. Could not have asked for a more perfect stay!

This is our 15th year of the two families coming to Old Blair. It is a great venue for cousins, and new granddaughter this year, to meet up for lots of games around the fire and leisurely family meals around the long dining room table.
Old Blair is a very relaxed and restful house for the families and dogs.

Our 15th (?) year of our two families getting together in Easter holidays for long walks, cycles, games, and family meals. As the kids have got older they have dipped in and out depending on university, other holidays, work commitments etc. but everyone is clear they want to keep coming back to this beautiful old house with family connections from the 1950's.
One of the main charms of Old Blair is how comfortable and relaxed it is. It is in lovely condition but not so smart that it lacks character. It is our special home when we visit

My friends and I had a magnificent stay at Old Blair. The property was beautiful, well-equipped, and a great setting for time together as friends. We mainly wanted to use it as a base for walking adventures, and it fitted the bill perfectly. Nothing better than a day in the hills followed by a retreat to a cozy fire. Also, the team were really accommodating, allowing us to change our check-in/check-out times to suit those of us taking the sleeper train. All in all, I'd definitely come back here. A wonderful stay.
