Glenapp Castle, Ballantrae, South Ayrshire, Scotland Vacation Rental

Standing high above a dramatic coastline overlooking the Irish sea, in the south west of Scotland’s historic lowlands, Glenapp is a family owned and occupied baronial castle set in an area of outstanding and unspoiled natural beauty. Underneath its fairytale turrets and towers there are oak-panelled rooms, rich fabrics and fine antiques, as well as modern award winning cuisine and impeccable service. The castle is hidden from the rugged landscape by 15 hectares of magical gardens filled with specimen trees and plants, including a fine collection of rare and unusual rhododendrons.

Glenapp Castle is a rare gift, a castle hotel, a place of grandeur and elegance but also a home steeped in history. Welcome to a truly hidden place. A place to be inspired, to reflect, to recharge and reconnect; where you will feel ‘at home’ whether on your own or with a party of friends. Glenapp has an intimacy in its service, with genuine attention to detail, but also a beauty in its period furnishings and interiors and through the breath-taking gardens, forest and the seascapes that surround the castle.

Glenapp Castle is famous for the quality of its cuisine. An award winning restaurant makes full use of the estate’s herb garden, our own vegetable produce, the vast array of local sea catches, famous Ayrshire lamb, beef and cheese.

Naturally, we have the most extensive wine cellar to complement your choice from the menu.
