The Great Hall in Maryculter House

Your chance to win a luxury stay at one of Britain’s most historic hotel’s, Maryculter House in Deeside, Scotland

Situated on the banks of the River Dee, the 13th-century Maryculter House offers guests an experience like no other. The stunning hotel, one of Scotland’s oldest, has retained many of its original features, including its medieval Great Hall, dating back to 1460, and is central to the legends of the Knights Templar. Woven into the fabric of the place are tales of crusading knights and the Jacobite Rebellions, which are brought to life through some of the hotel’s unique guest experiences.

Our winners will also be treated to afternoon tea with a bottle of Champagne, and a hearty Scottish breakfast each morning.

Afternoon Tea at Maryculter House

After relaxing and unwinding in the hotel, there is much in the surrounding area to explore. The Aberdeenshire region has no less than 263 castles (including, of course, Balmoral), and some of Scotland’s finest whisky is crafted in the local distilleries.

You can also roam the landscapes so beloved of the Royal Family, from rugged heather moorland to towering Caledonian pine forests to the majestic River Dee. A true Scottish experience awaits you.
