Gather at Cluny

An impressive family home available for private stays, celebrations, and events

Cluny Castle is hidden within Aberdeenshire's countryside and available for a carefully limited number of private stays and events each year—for those looking to spend time together somewhere that feels genuinely removed from the ordinary.

Some guests come to mark life's most significant moments. Others come simply to step away from everyday life. Whether for celebration or retreat, every guest leaves with a feeling that could only belong to Cluny.

Live at Cluny for a few days

When you stay at Cluny, the castle is yours—entirely and without compromise. No shared spaces, no other guests, no schedule imposed from outside. Just the estate, the team, and the people you have brought with you.

Cosmo Linzee Gordon, whose family has called Cluny home for over 400 years, is on hand to greet you on arrival and, where time allows, join guests for dinner or drinks during the stay. It is a setting and a welcome that are difficult to find elsewhere.

Milestone celebrations at Cluny

Cluny has been the backdrop to extraordinary gatherings for centuries, and that tradition continues. The castle lends itself naturally to occasions of almost any scale, including anniversary dinners, milestone birthdays, family reunions, festive celebrations, and every one receives the same level of care and attention.

Elevate your next corporate event

For senior teams and client gatherings, Cluny offers something a conventional venue cannot—a working family home with hundreds of years of history behind it, and privacy throughout. The Dining Room and Drawing Room are ideal for intimate executive dinners, while the Tenants' Hall accommodates larger gatherings of up to 90 guests. For grand gala dinners, the castle grounds provide picturesque marquee locations against the backdrop of Cluny's historic façade.

Every event is designed around your brief, with a team that works closely with you from the first conversation to the final guest.

“Cluny Castle proved to be a truly exceptional venue for our executive meetings...”

Beyond its breathtaking setting and rich history, the event space and accommodation were thoughtfully designed to foster genuine collaboration among our group. Cosmo, the owner, along with his team, went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and warmly welcomed throughout our stay. 

I wholeheartedly recommend Cluny Castle to anyone searching for a distinctive and memorable location for team building or meetings. It offers a refreshing alternative to more conventional venues and creates an inspiring atmosphere for productive discussions and group activities. If you’re after something unique and engaging for your next event, Cluny Castle is well worth considering.

Three Hundred acres, and a landscape full of possibilities

The grounds at Cluny are as much a part of the experience as the castle itself. Wander through the walled garden, follow the stream through the woodland, sit by the pond as the light changes across the hills, or simply find a quiet corner of the parkland and do nothing at all.

For those who want more, Cluny's team will work with you to arrange experiences that are personal to your group: a private yoga session at sunrise, wild swimming in the river, a whisky tasting with an expert, a Highland Games on the lawn, archery, falconry, clay shooting, a foraging walk followed by a cookery class with the private chef, or a 4x4 adventure through the surrounding landscape. Whether you are looking for adventure, restoration, or something in between, the estate and the surrounding region provide the perfect backdrop.
