The 58-year-old was all smiles as he happily posed for pictures with staff during the visit.
And the star left a good impression on employees, who said he was a "true gentleman".
The snaps were posted on Braemar Castle's Facebook page.
The caption read: "Can we just get a little bit excited.
"The fabulous Will Ferrell paid us a visit this morning and we may have got a little bit fan girly around him.
"He is the nicest man, as are his family and friends.
"Eve had the best time giving them a tour of the castle.
"They say to never meet your idols, but this man was a true gentleman and so interested in our work at Braemar Castle."
Earlier this week, we told how Will Ferrell shocked onlookers after visiting Glasgow.
He surprised movie fans when he got out a taxi with his wife in the city's Miller Street on Monday.

One eagle-eyed fan - who didn't want to be pictured - shared a selfie with the Scottish Sun showing his dream meeting with the movie maestro.
He said: "You don't expect to see Will Ferrell getting out a taxi in the middle of Glasgow.
"He looked really relaxed with his wife and it's cool to know that such huge celebrities are choosing to come to Scotland."
The actor simply told fans he was visiting Glasgow rather than suggesting he was working on any projects.

Dani, daughter of actor Danny, 48, added: 'Turns out, once I'd left, he kissed one of the other girls from school. "The next day, everyone turned against me because I'd kissed him. I began getting these abusive messages on Facebook calling me a 's**g'. 'And because we all had a BlackBerry, I was also getting BBM [BlackBerry Messenger] messages saying stuff like, 'What goes around comes around'.' Earlier in the week, Strictly was embroiled in 'fix' row after Dani claimed she was a 'qualified dancer'. Dani was the second celebrity contestant confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing 2025, with the announcement being made on The One Show last week. Dani shot to fame when she won Love Island in 2018 - with her new reality stint very different to the dating show. But now it has been revealed that in an unearthed passage from her autobiography, Dani boasted about being a "qualified dancer". She said in her 2019 book that she would put "qualified dancer" under the list of qualifications on her CV. Writing in her book, which came out six years ago, Dani wrote about how she went to theatre school at weekends from the age of 2 to 14.

Dani added: "I'm not a bad singer but it was the dance stuff I loved more - jazz, tap, ballet, modern. I'd get home and prance around the house." 5 August 3 saw Alex Kingston, 62, revealed Credit: BBC 5 Nitro, 36, of TV's Gladiators was unmasked on June 15 Credit: BBC

Inside the huge Portuguese hotel that's its own holiday destination – with pop star shows and swim-up cocktail bars
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YOU don't often get to sip a cocktail on a clifftop, under an orange sunset, while Ronan Keating prepares to perform for you. But it turns out that's exactly what you can expect at the Pine Cliffs Resort on the sun-kissed Algarve. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Pine Cliffs has lofty views set amid stunning nature Credit: Supplied 7 The tempting hotel pool Credit: Supplied 7 The hotel's thermal oasis Credit: Supplied Set among fragrant pine trees and perched high above the golden sands of Portugal's most stunning coastline, Pine Cliffs isn't just a resort, it's a destination. Think postcard-perfect beaches, a backdrop of red-ochre cliffs and five-star facilities that make you feel like A-listers. Our trip coincided with Pine Cliffs' annual Summer Gala, the resort's most glamorous event of the year. And it truly delivered on every front. The evening began with a glitzy cocktail reception on the manicured green of the driving range, as the golden Algarve sun dipped behind the cliffs. A saxophonist filled the air with smooth jazz while guests mingled over glasses of fizz. Taking our seats at tables with pearly white linen for an extravagant three-course buffet, we were serenaded by various singers. Then came the show-stopping moment: Ronan Keating took to the stage. The former Boyzone member's voice, as smooth as the champagne, had the crowd singing, swaying and swooning. To top the night off, when Ronan finished his last song, fireworks burst into the summer sky, lighting it up. We couldn't have asked for a more magical night. But the gala was just the cherry on top of what turned out to be one of the most relaxing getaways we've ever had. Martin Lewis warns about strict passport rule that could see you board your flight - only to get sent home on arrival Pine Cliffs is a haven for both adrenaline junkies and sun-worshippers. The resort also seems as able to cater for family fun as it can for couples on romantic getaways. While I happily spent hours lounging on Falesia beach, sunbathing with a book, my partner Jonah threw himself into the water sports. He loved paddle-boarding along the clear, calm shoreline. I won't lie — it was more wobbly than graceful, but he laughed the whole way through. The resort also offers kayaking, jet skis and couch/banana boat rides. For those in search of next-level pampering, the Serenity Spa at Pine Cliffs is unmissable. I indulged in the 80-minute Senses Of The Algarve body scrub, a heavenly experience blending local carob and soothing oils. The therapists here are miracle workers, and I floated out of the spa feeling like I'd left all my stress on the massage table. While the resort has various accommodation options, including villas and apartments, we were staying in the main hotel. Our room was spacious and beautifully presented, with a luxurious, oversized bathroom that felt like a private spa. If you're a foodie — and who isn't on holiday — Pine Cliffs will spoil you rotten A highlight was the charming terrace, perfect for relaxing while taking in the fresh Algarve air. If you're a foodie — and who isn't on holiday — Pine Cliffs will spoil you rotten. Every meal we had was memorable and flawless. 7 Maré at Pine Cliffs Beach Club is foodie heaven Credit: Supplied 7 Dine then recline on the Maré's upper deck Credit: Supplied 7 The Sun's Noa Hoffman and Jonah on a romantic break Credit: Supplied 7 Headliner Ronan Keating From fresh octopus by the beach to grilled lobster on the cliff top under the stars, each dish was crafted with care. But the highlight? The Wagyu steak at the Piri Piri Steak House was hands down the best we've ever tasted. Melt-in-the-mouth perfection. Pristine golf course Our waiter Paolo was so knowledgeable and made the entire meal an experience. The resort has 15 top-tier restaurants and bars, from the elegant O Pescador, serving seafood with ocean views, to Zest, where we grabbed healthy poke bowls and salads for lunch. And for a romantic lunch, Maré at Pine Cliffs Beach Club offered the perfect seaside setting with fresh grilled fish and chilled vinho verde. Jonah, an avid golfer, was in his element on Pine Cliffs' spectacular nine-hole golf course, perched on the cliff edge with jaw-dropping views over the Atlantic. He played twice during our stay and raved about the challenging layout and pristine condition. We also both enjoyed a one-hour padel-tennis lesson with ace coach Joao. Burning off some of the incredible meals, while having such fun, was great. We're now completely hooked on the sport. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, and the service was impeccable There are also tennis courts, a gym with spectacular sea views, and even a kids' club if you're travelling as a family. The resort's eight swimming pools are another highlight. From an adults-only oasis in the Serenity spa to a large family lagoon-style option, there is a pool to suit every taste. We particularly enjoyed the one by Corda Café at the heart of the resort — perhaps due to its swim-up cocktail bar! Pine Cliffs manages to blend luxury with a warm, relaxed atmosphere. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, and the service was impeccable. Whether you're after a romantic escape, an active break, or a place to unwind in set in stunning natural surroundings, Pine Cliffs ticks every box — and then some. We came for Ronan . . . but stayed for the sun, sea, steak and serenity. Once you've experienced Pine Cliffs, you'll be planning your next visit before you've even left.
