High above the dramatic coastline of southwest Scotland, overlooking the Irish Sea and the iconic Ailsa Craig Island, sits Glenapp Castle. This baronial castle is hidden from the rugged surrounding landscape by 110 acres of magical parkland including an Italian garden designed by the renowned horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll. Underneath its fairytale towers and turrets are imposing rooms with rich fabrics, art and antiques echoing the splendour of a bygone era. With award-winning international cuisine, Glenapp Castle is the ideal base for country sports and world-class golf. Glenapp’s all-weather boat allows guests to explore the surrounding Scottish isles and whisky distilleries, or to fish and observe the spectacular wildlife.
Gardens provide more than just food for the table– they also nourish the soul, a quality brilliantly embraced by these UK and Channel Island properties.
From cultivating fruit, vegetables, rice and cereals, to rearing rare-breed cattle or keeping bees, the gardens and farms of Relais & Châteaux properties produce an astonishing array of organic products that are as delicious as they are healthy and beneficial for the planet.
With our migratory impulses fettered, our longing for distant horizons shackled by Covid-19, travel is a frequent theme of our dreams. Getting away gains value by virtue of its not being within easy reach, we now consider a voyage’s deeper meaning before setting out in 2021.
Guests can take advantage of a wide variety of experiences, designed to suit all tastes. Those in search of a little exercise can take part in dozens of sporting activities, ranging from horseback riding to yoga, archery, curling, coasteering and kayaking. Curious-minded guests can create their own perfume, take art classes or learn about falconry, beekeeping or pottery. There is no shortage of opportunities for fun.
Take a voyage on Glenapp Castle's own boat and discover the beauty of the Scottish coast from the sea. Explore the Isle of Arran, a perfect example–in miniature–of everything that makes Scotland charming. Set sail for Ailsa Craig, an iconic volcanic peak that has become a sanctuary for more than 40,000 seabirds. You can also go eagle fishing with Ripley, the winged lord of the estate: a captivating experience, and an extraordinary natural spectacle.
Glenapp Castle is a haven of peace for families, and a paradise for children, who can enjoy a thousand-and-one adventures in complete safety. Supervised activities include pétanque, tennis, croquet or quoits, a game of skill dating from antiquity. Animal and nature lovers can enjoy horseback-riding lessons, learn about beekeeping, and even visit a traditional farm to admire the famous Highland cows.
