the Renovation
Our renovation project will be a long process.
Our long term plan is to restore the whole castle. As the internal fittings have either been removed or severely damaged we plan to replace as sympathetically as possible using replica products and modern techniques where necessary.
The first phase has got off to a great start! We have cleared the site from trees and bushes, reclaimed the driveway and lawns, emptied some rooms of rubble, removed the ivy and secured stone work where necessary.
We have converted the old gas house into a tea room and small shop that services our visitors and volunteers.
We have set up and opened a luxury glamping venue in the forest and have plans to extend this later this year.
We have fully restored the courtyard and have replaced the glass roof.
We have started work on the internal rooms within the courtyard which will form separate bar areas as part of a new and unique intimate event space.
We are in the process of renovating the old Pooks Horse Stable into an outside bar.
We have so far completed two cloakrooms and have made good headway into the specialist bar areas. (A whiskey bar, craft beer bar and champagne room)
And we are now taking bookings for weddings!!!
The next phase is to reinstate the scullery and castle kitchen so that we can provide catering facilities for afternoon tea parties in the courtyard and for weddings on site. We have also started work on our beautiful Chapel. This will allow us to offer a variety of unique wedding spaces from marquees on the lawn, intimate gatherings in forest or courtyard and within the eighteenth century chapel.
The rest of the castle will provide three self-contained luxury apartments for our children to make into their homes in the future. We plan to open a boutique hotel visitors an luxury event space for corporate events.
There is soo much work ahead!
We regularly run volunteer weekends at the castle and love to share our passion for the place. If you would like to volunteer please do get in touch.

Meet Tracey, she and her partner Rob are mending a castle, room by room.
Castles have turrets. Notice how I have paused work at the point where I have come across a turret's curvey bit!
Welcome escapism. Thank you Tracey and Rob for inviting me to join in this amazing endeavour.

Fun Friday has been awesome today. Our fabulous first Culdees brides came for a voluntary day. @_mandymunro used her volunteer leave with her employer @sthreeuki to give back and support Culdees Castle Estate. The three of us cleared 3 tonnes of rubble from the castle floor, salvaging original bricks, marble, tiles and mouldings! Thank you Mandy and thank you SThree! We are extremely grateful for all the support! They worked so hard #culdeesrenovation
The Scullery! We started to clear this room in 14th March 2021 and it’s been used for many purposes such as a store room and workshop. Now it has its forever purpose as our courtyard kitchen. From this room we will be serving up afternoons teas. I had forgotten just how bad this room was! 😱 no roof, windows found in the rubble and 70 years worth of debris. I am so pleased with how it’s turned out. #howdenskitchens #farrowandball #woodchipandmagnolia #culdeesrenovation
It’s gonna take a lot of this to renovate their castle, but they’ve got this!

Today was a castle clearing day. Boy did we work hard! We found a nice flagstone floor, the wall layout of the two lower rooms and a fireplace. Thanks to Robs brothers and Mark as always for your help. #culdeesrenovation
From a gorgeous Cotswold cottage to a Scottish castle in one week!
Truly a privilege to be invited to design and make bespoke papers for these wonderful people.

What a day! More clearing! Five floors of rubble into one and it’s backbreaking work. But every day it moves on a little bit. Today was a great day, we found the ground floor window with shutters that work and even pulled the curtain pole out of the rubble 😄#culdeesrenovation
