A Castle Hopping Easter-Adventure
One of the joys of staying at Meldrum House is being surrounded by some of Scotland’s most enchanting castles – many hosting charming Easter trails perfect for little explorers.
Castle Fraser – Just 25 minutes away, families can follow a clue-filled Easter Egg Trail through the estate grounds. Children solve puzzles along the way before earning a well-deserved chocolate reward – a classic spring day out in beautiful surroundings.
Crathes Castle – A little further afield, Crathes offers a colourful Easter Trail weaving through its storybook grounds. Expect colourful spring gardens, playful clues and plenty of space for little legs to run free.
Fyvie Castle – Only 15 minutes from the hotel, Fyvie Castle provides a relaxed, family friendly outdoor trail trough its gardens. It’s a lovely way to combine fresh air, history and a touch of Easter magic.
For Families Who Enjoy A Little More Action
If you all prefer some high-energy fun, you’re in luck! Meldrum House is perfectly placed for activities to keep everyone entertained.
Lochter Activity Centre – just five minutes away, Lochter delivers adrenaline and laughter in equal measure – from go-karting and off-road buggy driving to water rollers and inflatable games. Ideal for actual kids and big kids alike.
Skyline Trampoline Park – A short drive brings you to over 30,000 square feet of bouncing fun. With interconnected trampolines, foam pits and agility corses, it’s a brilliant option if the weather turns unpredictable.
Wynford Farm Park – For a gentler pace, Wynford Farm Park offers hand-on animal encounters and indoor and outdoor play. Bottle-feeding lambs at Easter is the one of the highlights.
The Joy Of Coming Back ‘Home’
After a day of chocolate trails, exploring the countryside or energetic adventures, returning to Meldrum House feels wonderfully comforting. A home from home, children can unwind, parents can relax and everyone can gather for a delicious meal before settling in for the evening.
