The place itself

Glenapp Castle is a five-star hotel at Ballantrae, Ayrshire, KA26 0NZ. Phone +44 1465 831212. Email info@glenappcastle.com. They say Condé Nast Traveller, in the UK and the USA, voted the castle one of the top hotels in the UK, and they print one Michelin Key. Suites are dressed with their own fabrics, art, and antiques. The Castle Penthouse is the suite they measure at 4,500 square feet, with four bedrooms. The dining room is bookable on its own, and so is Azalea dining. Gardens, forest, and the sea sit around the castle. They run a boat they call the Glenapp boat for a Hebridean sea safari. Book on glenappcastle.com. They say the best rate is the one you book with them. Rates are on their site.
