Welcome pack.. 2000-acre grounds with BBQ. Private parking for 5 cars. No smoking. Please note: There are waterfalls and lochs in the grounds.. A fascinating fusion unfurls inside an Edwardian Castle in the form of this 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. Three bedrooms have kingsize beds, and two bedrooms have singles. Three bathrooms contain bath and shower, and two bathrooms contain shower only.

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 stairs case 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. 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 burner will make sure you lounge in true Mad-Men style. A modern kitchen with matt blue colours and breakfast bar will encourage lengthy lingering 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 living area. Five bedrooms make slumberous havens. Plush wall-to-wall carpets are throughout the top floor, alongside four bathrooms. The ground floor bedroom has hardwood floors. All bedrooms have super comfortable mattresses.

The historic Edwardian castle estate lies in the heart of picturesque Portpatrick. 2000 acres of glen walks, forests, beaches, lochs, gardens and waterfalls to explore. The Castle Apartment is completely self-contained with its own private courtyard and entrance. The walled garden with its glass house is a romantic and peaceful retreat on the estate. Two lochs nestle into the hills and rhododendron banks. Wander along the glen walk past a rushing waterfall, and a babbling brook, to the two beaches to spot dolphins and seals. Dunskey Golf Course and the picturesque Portpatrick Harbour is two minutes away. Fishing expeditions from the beaches or on our two lochs are available. We will be available to assist in any way we can throughout your stay. Portpatrick Village has a public tennis court, putting green, golf course, beaches, and many restaurants. It is a very family-friendly destination. Parking is available throughout the estate. A car is highly recommended for the area. Wellies are highly recommended for the walks around the grounds.

The Royal Castle Apartment can be booked together with Rose Blair Lodge (ref UK31045), Wild Geese Lodge (ref UK31046) and Fern Forest House (ref UK31047) and Fawn’s Velvet (ref UK7261) to accommodate up to 30 guests.
