The Downie

Old-world grandeur

All our historic castle rooms are in our main castle building and are rich in period character. Expect high ceilings, antique furniture and a more traditional aesthetic. The Downie is a Suite. 

Vibrant, romantic and full of life, this is a suite made for those who live – and dream – in full colour. The elaborate canopy embroidery and handcrafted secretaire bookcase seem to transport you in time, to an era of storybook charm and gilded character.  

But when draped across the raspberry velvet sofa or surrendering to the glass-fronted rainfall shower, this suite sets the standard for a distinctly modern genre of comfort.  

Suite features

  • Exceptional views of the castle grounds
  • Oversized period-style Super King bed
  • Spacious lounge area
  • En-suite with walk-in shower
  • High-speed Wi-Fi and flatscreen TV
  • 24-hour room service

    The Lindsay Tower

    The Lindsay Tower is a four-storey castle tower with a spiralling stone staircase with panoramic views of the castle grounds that features a master suite with four-posters super king bed, enormous bathroom with dressing area, and a lounge with a private dining space for two. 

    You will have private access to the tower through an external door, with rooms set over four floors. 

    The Clark

    The Clark is a Junior Suite. 

    With dawn light filtering through the picture windows and the gentle, rousing sounds of the estate easing the quiet, morning breaks softly here. Will you float down to breakfast or have it chauffeured to your bedside? Take the time to invigorate the senses in the rainfall shower or plunge into window-side bath: only then can you face the trials of the day.  

    The Clark Junior Suite is equal parts storybook romance and aristocratic airs – wondrous, magical, impeccable. The canopied bed. The floral drapery. The period character in every little detail.  

    This is country-house comfort, perfected.  

    The Findlay

    The Findlay is a Superior Double Room. 

    The Findlay Superior Double Room is a period masterpiece. The sleigh-style bed crowned with a silk drape. Buttercream yellow walls that glow by lamp and sunlight. Tufted parlour chairs set before graceful arched windows.  

    There’s a quiet splendour to it all – the kind that doesn’t dizzy the senses but soothes the soul. Take a moment to linger a little longer. Stays like this warrant the extra attention.

    The Mackintosh

    The Mackintosh is a Large Double Room.

    Welcome to a room with aristocratic confidence. Kick off your shoes, don your powder-soft bathrobe and make your first move. 

    Slip into the steaming freestanding tub, revelling in the healing heat and pin-drop silence of the castle. Or are you drawn to the towering bay windows, to survey the castle grounds like a medieval monarch? Perhaps you shatter the silence with your favourite music and dance with pure exuberance across the room, all sensibilities abandoned.  

    This is your kingdom, your rules.
