. . . a vast and spectacular Victorian mansion set high above the village overlooking the Irish Sea and the island of Ailsa Craigd its doors as an exclusive luxury hotel, the
Relais & Chateaux Hotel Glenapp Castle, Ballantrae, Ayrshire KA26 0NZ / Scotland
Within the castle there are graceful lounges and elegant dining rooms as well as 17 individually furnished and decorated bedrooms and suites and seemingly endless oak panelled hallways and corridors. All are handsomely furnished with personally chosen antiques and fine oil paintings, and individually decorated to the highest standard in traditional style.
Room amenities : There are seventeen luxuriously appointed bedrooms and suites at Glenapp. All are individual, and all look out upon the beauty of the gardens or across the Irish Sea to Ailsa Craig, Arran and the Mull of Kintyre. The ensuite bathrooms - traditionally appointed - are equally luxurious. All rooms -including bathrooms- have direct dial telephone, colour TV, VCR and CD player. Many bedrooms have coal and log effect gas fires, and all rooms have superb views of the gardens or the coastline, or both in many cases. The two 'Master Rooms' are palatial in size, with highly ornate cornice-work. There are two suites, which in addition to the bedroom area have an interconnecting sitting room.
Dining : Dining at the castle is an unique experience. The finest cuisine, produced by a skilled and professional team, is served each evening in the gracious surroundings of the castle dining rooms. Complementary wines from the cellars are served with each day's menu, or guests may prefer to choose from the extensive Connoisseurs' List.
