Inside Castle Venlaw

Staying in an historic castle doesn’t mean having to give up on modern comforts. Each of the castle's 12 individually-designed rooms has a private en-suite bathroom, controllable central heating, a refreshments tray for that first or last cup of the day and direct dial telephones. Satellite television and a selection of books and magazines are there, too, to help with those quiet relaxing moments. There is no lift in the castle, however the hotel staff will be happy to assist with any luggage that guests may have.

Each room is named after a malt whisky, as individual in character as the room itself. A miniature of the appropriate malt is set in a plaque in the door of each room. Guests wishing a proper taste of whisky need only visit the library to try out their room malt and possibly some neighbouring malts as well…

Tucked quietly away on the third floor at the top of the castle’s tower is the family suite. Here parents can enjoy a room to themselves with bathroom. A door connects this room to the children’s ‘den’, equipped with bunk beds and bright children’s furniture. There are also games, magazines, TV and video on hand for their constant entertainment.
