Built in 1870, Glenapp Castle has been offering a high level of service and tremendous facilities throughout its time. Upon arrival at the Relais & Chateaux, you will start your journey with a warm, personal welcome from the dedicated team of butlers, who will allow you to settle down into the Downton lifestyle with a delectable Afternoon Tea comprising of delicate sandwiches, and other sweet treats. The butlers will share their expertise on the etiquette surrounding this wonderful tradition.
Once settled, guests will have the opportunity to relax in their majestic Castle Bedroom Suites – maybe use this to have some quality time as a newly married couple! These suites have been meticulously designed with period furnishings and sumptuous fabrics to give off a regal look. Glenapp's Castle butlers will ensure that every guest's wants and needs are met, as they can simply ring the bell and the butlers will be on hand to cater to their every need.
Guests can start their day with a traditional, Scottish table-served breakfast, before embarking on a leisurely morning walk throughout the Castle's beautiful gardens. These vibrant, detailed greenscapes could be the location of your pastimes of the period available to try out on the estate – from a competitive afternoon tennis match or a relaxing game of croquet, there is something for everyone.
Your etiquette lessons will soon be put in practice – the impeccable decorum expected at any Downton dinner party – at a sparkling champagne reception and in-castle dining, containing a carefully curated 7-course feast. Sport your best wardrobes to fit in with this exquisite feast!
