Hidden castle estate.
Tucked into 110 acres of private estate and local woodland in Ayrshire, Scotland, Glenapp Castle is a perfect model of Scottish Baronial style, which combines elements of Gothic and Renaissance design with turrets, towers, and battlements. Surrounding Glenapp Castle is the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire region, designated by UNESCO as Scotland’s first Biosphere Reserve.
Insider Tip

Glenapp Castle’s chauffeured private tours will usher you through scenic routes and hidden gems, introducing you to destinations like the fishing village of Dunure (one of the filming locations for the show “Outlander”), Scotland’s most southerly point, the Mull of Galloway, and the birthplace of Scotland’s national bard.

Where You’re Staying

Seventeen individually designed suites blend plush furnishings with historic charm. Some overlook the gardens and woodland, while others offer sea views toward Ailsa Craig. The Castle Penthouse Suite features four bedrooms and five bathrooms, a media room, library and games room, lounge and dining room, period kitchen, sauna, treatment room, and rooftop viewing terrace.

Where to Dine

Glenapp Castle offers two distinct dining experiences. Enjoy fine dining in the elegant Castle Restaurant with views of Ailsa Craig and the Ayrshire coast, or opt for a more relaxed meal at The Azalea, by Glenapp Castle—set in the Victorian Glasshouse in the Walled Gardens. Menus feature gourmet lunches, afternoon tea, and seasonal multi-course dinners.

Where to Relax

Unwind with therapeutic in-room massages, then embrace the natural serenity that defines the estate. Breathe in the pure coastal air, enjoy guided forest bathing, or wander the 110-acre grounds. End the day by the fireplace, where stillness and connection come naturally.

What to Do

Take advantage of Glenapp Castle’s bespoke activities program offering over 70 unique experiences with options like tennis, croquet, French boules, cycling, and walking trails on the estate to beekeeping, cookery lessons with a chef, falconry, perfume making, art classes, and even an immersive highland cow experience. Guests can enjoy the castle’s proximity to the coast with swimming, coasteering, or a picnic trip on the Glenapp Boat to nearby islands.
