Book the Glenapp Castle with VIP Benefits

Glenapp Castle Hotel sits in the picturesque landscape of the South-West coast of Scotland. Here, you will enjoy stunning views of the famous volcanic outcrop, Ailsa Crag, with its gardens and woodland. The resort offers something to the visitor beyond the confines of a typical hotel stay, as one feels transported into a Victorian or Edwardian stately home.

Location

The Highland areas of Scotland are famed for their natural beauty and rugged charm, and the location of Glenapp Castle does not disappoint. It encapsulates a Scottish baronial style with magical towers, turrets, and crenellations that take one immediately back into a romantic period of history. Moreover, with a stunning façade, oak-paneled halls, and a rich history, this is a special place to visit with its exciting sea views.

This baronial castle, located near the Mull of Kintyre, offers stunning views of the Isle of Arran and Holy Island. Furthermore, on the hills of Northern Ireland on a clear day, one can take in the breathtaking gardens, forests, and seascapes surrounding the castle.

Glasgow Airport is 70 miles away, and the nearest railway station, Girvan, is 13 miles away.

Facilities

The hotel has an impressive collection of facilities considering its location. However, what stands out is the service with genuine attention to detail that one would expect from a five-star hotel. Guests can expect anything from hot water bottles to helicopter rides available for booking.

Moreover, 36 acres of gardens and woodlands, an all-weather tennis court, and a croquet lawn are available. Local partridge, pheasant shoots, and trout or salmon fishing for leisure.

There is so much available within the grounds that many guests do not want to leave the hotel except for the local shooting and fishing opportunities. A well-equipped spa is also known locally. Not to mention the multiple golf courses for which Scotland is deservedly famous.

Furthermore, ample parking and a sauna and laundry services are available. Glenapp Castle also provides appropriate clothing and umbrellas for guests to explore the local area if required. Besides, Falconry displays are everyday events.

Suites

This is not a hotel where rooms and suites are in every corner to maximize profits by having as many guests as possible on site. Instead, it is a small, unique 19th-century castle with beauty in its period furnishings.

17 guestrooms (suites) are available in all. They have spread around the ground, second and third floors, having all public rooms on the first floor. Additionally, the extensive penthouse suite (Endeavour) available on the top floor due to its four bedrooms. The penthouse also features a private library, sauna, and games room. The suites feature elegant designs paired with guest comforts to thrill and delight.

Moreover, large windows are a common feature, allowing lots of natural light to show off the beautiful spaces. Besides, the top-quality master suites include four-poster beds and a fireplace.

Furthermore, facilities for disabled guests are available, but guests must request them at the time of the booking. Marble bathrooms and showers are in all rooms, as one would expect at a luxury accommodation. Besides, some rooms have a slipper bath and other unique amenities. Breakfast is included in the room rates, as well as free Wi-Fi.

Food and Drink

An award-winning restaurant with fine dining is precisely what you will get from Glenapp Castle. You will get a range of options, from the traditional dining room to the Mackenzie and Moncure Victorian glasshouse. Besides, there are fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the kitchen garden. Guests can also choose from a range of three-course or six-course menus. There is also afternoon tea and a sumptuous breakfast in the dining rooms.

Moreover, much of the produce comes from local sources... The fish or shellfish, the game, and other meats are farmed locally. Also, 75% of the ingredients are from Scotland.

The hotel also has a wine list that is more extensive than is usually available in Scottish hotels. This means that the overall choice available in the hotel's dining rooms is impressive. Additionally, the hotel offers a modicum of isolation and other food and drink options that are not readily available locally. As a result, you'll get everything you need to satisfy your palette onsite.

Spa and Fitness

The Pebbles Spa is available just a few minutes from the hotel, based on the edge of the coastline. The spa includes an infinity swimming pool, fitness gym, treatment rooms, and heat experiences. There is also a range of different treatments with Thalgo marine-based products, as well as aromatherapy options.

Although set a little away from Glenapp Castle, guests can easily access the spa as the hotel provides transfers. However, as it is a members-only spa, guests will have to pay a small fee to access it. But it guarantees exclusivity and peace.

Leisure

A range of traditional sports, such as tennis, croquet, and archery, are available on site. The gardens and woodland are perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and walking. Other sports, such as curling, quad-biking, golf, and fishing, are available off-site.
