A fascinating fusion unfurls inside an Edwardian Castle in form of the apartment. There's an unusual architectural interplays within this unique Castle apartment, hidden down a private drive in deep Scottish countryside. At first glance, the Apartment is grandly presented inside a 19th-century castle, but a closer inspection reveals contemporary features dovetailed into the original design, cleverly expanding the space and light, to create a luxury self-catering homestay that's bespoke down to the last detail. Traditional vintage charm combines with boutique flair inside, with many secret spots to sit and absorb the tranquil grounds. Every effort has been made to preserve original features of the Castle, including the stripped-back blond hardwood floor, and the art deco spiral stairscase from a Glaswegian company at the height of its industrial heyday. History buffs will particularly delight at the original furniture, art works and artifacts dotted throughout the space.
There are four bedrooms in the apartment. We make these bedrooms available based on the number of guests staying. This way, we are able to host smaller groups. If there are six guests in the group, three bedrooms will be available. If you would like the additional fourth bedroom, please indicate that there will be eight guests.
With its double-floor loft style, the apartment will appeal to those with passion for architecture and history. Persian rugs cover the gorgeous reclaimed wood floor, original to the Castle. An arcadia mural stands prominently in the living room and family space. Mid-century leather sofa and gold coffee table, alongside leather rocking chairs and an upcycled wood burning stove will make sure you lounge in true Mad-Men style. A modern kitchen with muted jade colours and breakfast bar will encourage lengthy lingerings alongside poached eggs. With a nod to mid-century inspiration, ghost chairs around the dining area opens up the space to connect the kitchen and the lounge.
Four bedrooms make slumberous havens. Plush wall-to-wall carpets are throughout the top floor, alongside three very spacious full bathrooms. The collection of beds in the apartment is definitely something to write home about: Italianate canopy bed, 18th-century antique mohagony single beds, linen-upholstered and brass-studded rococo bed, and the grand colonial style reclaimed wood bed will ensure the sweetest sleeps.
A vast back lawn is yours to enjoy with endless sunbathing and football games. The courtyard is large enough to host even the most spirited of ultimate frisbee. Surrounded by mature trees, fragrant flowers and lush flowerbed, it is the best spot to soak in sunshine and birdsong. Several swings are underneath the mature chestnut tree, complete with a very fast zipline and a rope hammock. Just five minutes of a leisurely stroll through the forest will take you to the foot of the lower loch, where you can easily spend hours watching the fish rise from the water.
Located in Stranraer, this castle is in a rural area and on a lake. Ardwell Gardens and Mull of Galloway Trail - South are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Ringdoo Sands and Gkenwhan Gardens. Be sure to check out the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
