Our Experts Say
The castle dates from 1245, one of the oldest in Ayrshire and is situated within a small country estate with scenic views, yet just 35 minutes from Glasgow. Original oil paintings, antique furniture, log fires and warm colours make this a cosy, peaceful retreat for a weekend break or longer. Bedrooms at the castle are certain to impress with the largest bedroom actually being the castle’s original dining hall with a vaulted ceiling. Woodland walks, bicycle trails and an abundance of wildlife will delight the visitor.
