Life of Riley

Part of an Edwardian castle with two thousand acres of grounds surrounding, this apartment lets you embrace the life of the aristocracy, just on a slightly smaller scale. A fascinating fusion unfurls inside an Edwardian Castle in form of the Royal 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.

There's a lot to discover within the grounds of the estate, from waterfalls and lochs to beaches and walled gardens. Perhaps best of all, it's possible to get meals cooked by the castle's 3AA-Rosette head chef delivered to your front door, as well as personalised bouquets from the in-house florist.
