PLACES
TO VISIT:
A short drive north from the
castle, along the scenic Ayrshire Coast, takes you to
Burns country, a part of Scotland steeped in history.
Or travel south to Galloway, famed for its gardens that spread along the Solway
coast.
Visit Whithorn, known as "the cradle of Christianity", St Ninian's
Cave and the Kirkmadrine Stones.
Inland, Galloway Forest Park is rich in wildlife and breathtaking scenery.
THE GROUNDS:
The 30-acre grounds at Glenapp
Castle are totally secluded and private for the exclusive use of the Castle
guests. There are many rare, unusual plants and shrubs to be found, including
magnificent specimen rhododendrons. Paths wander round the azalea pond and
through established woodland, leading to the wonderful Walled Garden with its
150-foot Victorian glasshouse.
Fresh herbs and fruit from the
garden are used every day in the Castle kitchen, and freshly cut flowers adorn
every room. For the more energetic, there's an all weather Tennis Court and
Croquet Lawn.
EXCLUSIVE
USE:
Glenapp
Castle
is a peaceful and truly magnificent setting for special occasions, whether they
are Family Celebrations, Sporting Breaks or luxury residential Conferences.
The Castle can be made available throughout the year, for exclusive use by
parties of up to thirty-four resident guests.
We
are happy to arrange any of the activities such as golf, shooting and fishing.
We can also provide music and entertainment for all tastes, ranging from
traditional Scottish banquets and Burns Suppers to whisky and wine tasting,
Ceilidhs and Highland Dancing. We can also provide a traditional Scottish Piper
or a twelve-piece fiddle orchestra, a string quartet or a Folk Singer as well as
more contemporary live music.
Glenapp Castle can be exclusively yours for what we guarantee will be a
unique and memorable occasion.
WEDDINGS:
There
can be no more romantic setting for your Wedding Celebration than this
spectacular fairytale Castle, set high on a hill overlooking the sleepy fishing
village of Ballantrae. Thirty acres of beautiful and immaculately maintained
gardens with panoramic views out across the Irish Sea to the isle of Arran, the
great granite mass of Ailsa Craig, and beyond to the Mull of Kintyre and the
Irish coastline.
At Glenapp we only host Weddings on an exclusive use basis, whereby the
Wedding party of up to thirty-four guests, have sole occupancy of the Castle and
the grounds. Weddings at the Castle are intimate occasions where guests can
relax among friends and enjoy the beauty and luxury of their surroundings.
The Wedding Ceremony may either be held in Glenapp Church, a very
beautiful little Victorian building within the Glenapp estate, or, if
there are to be fewer than twenty guests, the Ceremony can be conducted within
the Castle itself.
We are happy to help with any or all of the Wedding arrangements and we
guarantee that your Wedding will be even more special than you could have
imagined.
