| Why use
vouchers? If you would like the ease of traveling without having to carry cash to pay for accommodation, you may wish to purchase our Accommodation Vouchers. You simply decide each evening where you will be heading the next day and phone ahead for a reservation. Should problems arise finding accommodation when in the UK, contact our local office, or seek advice and assistance from your B&B host/hostess. She/he will assist in booking subsequent night/nights for the cost of a telephone call. We do not recommend purchasing B&B vouchers in London or Edinburgh. An inexpensive hotel provides a wider choice of accommodation, and would be more readily available. |
| Some Recommendations: Choose from castles in England, castles in Scotland, and castles in Wales. Airth Castle The Airth Castle Hotel was built some time after 1488. The Hotel has a fully equipped health center, which includes a gymnasium, sauna, steam room, solarium and indoor swimming pool. The Radisson SAS Airth Castle & Hotel Stirlingshire lies within easy reach of the historic city of Stirling, and the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh ![]() Borthwick Castle Only twelve miles from Edinburgh in a pastoral valley, this romantic castle stands on the summit of a knoll on the periphery of the romantic Borders immortalized by Sir Walter Scott. Borthwick Castle built in 1430 was once the refuge of Mary Queen of Scots and the Earl of Bothwell. All the bedchambers, tastefully furnished in period style. Guests will wonder at the miracle of the stone mason's art embodied in the spiral staircases, the fourteen foot thickness of the walls and the magnificent twin towers which stand 100 feet high from the dungeons to the battlements. Dornoch Castle All 18 bedrooms are tastefully decorated with a strong emphasis on comfort, tranquillity but still having that baronial home feel about it. There are Superior Castle Rooms, Castle Rooms and Garden Rooms and there are several rooms of individual character. Many rooms which overlook the formal walled gardens and have wonderful views of the Dornoch Firth and to the hills beyond.
The castle has 29 stylishly appointed standard castle rooms, all with private bathrooms. All Castle rooms are non-smoking. Aqueous at Dalhousie offers an excellent range of Spa treatments. Themed rooms at Dalhousie Castle: Robert the Bruce William de Ramsay swore fealty to King Edward for his lands of Dalhousie. He later joined King Robert the Bruce, who went onto a glorious victory over the English at Bannockburn in 1314. A very large high ceiling room, facing south across dramatic views of the rolling parkland and forests. The rich, luxurious, Renaldie decor fully justifies the noble place this King represents in Scottish history. A dramatically canopied King Size bed dominates the room, with striking tones of blue and burgundy, whilst the furnishings relate back to medieval times. The bathroom also reflects this period with its specially designed tiles and antique style fittings. Sir William Wallace This grand room, with doors leading out onto the Castle battlements, offers a unique panorama across open fields, forests and the River South Esk, towards the distant Lammermuir Hills. Incorporating natural Castle stone with Wallace Tartan and Gothic style fittings, the large bed can be made up as a twin or double. The heraldic theme of the bedroom itself is complemented by a windowed bathroom with Wallace crest tiles and oak paneling. India James, first and only Marquise of Dalhousie, became the youngest ever Governor General of India at the age of 33. The India room celebrates his magnificent contribution in the development of the Indian Empire. A large L-shaped room overlooking the River South Esk and facing south across open parkland and forests. Refurbished in a dramatic and distinct Indian style, this room has a canopied raffia double bed and furniture. The bathroom has a distinct Indian flavor in its decor along with today's modern bathroom facilities. Glenapp Castle was built in 1870 by the celebrated architect David Bryce for James Hunter, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire. The castle and its lands were purchased in 1917 by James Lyle Mackay, subsequently the first Earl of Inchcape. Within the castle there are graceful lounges and elegant dining rooms as well as 17 individually furnished and decorated bedrooms and suites and seemingly endless oak panelled hallways and corridors. All are handsomely furnished with personally chosen antiques and fine oil paintings, and individually decorated to the highest standard in traditional style. Inverlochy Castle Inverlochy Castle is one of the world's most luxurious castle hotels, and regularly plays host to a myriad of international stars and royalty. Its breathtaking charm has been enjoyed by the likes of Mel Gibson and Liam Neeson, and is even featured in the diaries of Queen Victoria who wrote "I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot". Built in 1863, the castle is uniquely situated between two of Scotland's most famous landmarks - Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, and stands proudly within some of the most magnificent scenery in the Highlands. With just 17 palatial bedrooms, this "hidden gem" is wonderfully discreet, and is surrounded by 500 acres of fabulous landscaped gardens, leading down to its own private loch. Kildrummy Castle Set in the heart of the Grampian Highlands, overlooking the ruins of the original 13th century castle, Kildrummy Castle Hotel offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the style and elegance of a bygone era. Kildrummy is a Scottish country house.
Also known as Floors Castle., the hotel is one of Scotland's finest country house hotels, set in 500 acres of mature woodland and rolling parkland, beside the River Teviot near Kelso. The Roxburghe has a relaxed, home from home atmosphere, which our guests find particularly welcoming and has earned a reputation for really good Scottish food and outstanding service. The largest inhabited house in Scotland, Floors Castle is home to the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe and their family. You can wander through spectacular State rooms with priceless European paintings. Skibo Castle Throughout history Skibo has held a position of prominence. Its Celtic name translates as fairyland or place of peace. The checkered history of Skibo reflects the history of the highlands, and this provides much of Skibo's enchantment. This was the setting for Madonna's wedding. The castle forms the principle clubhouse, offering reception rooms with bedrooms and bathrooms of individual character Stonefield Castle Stonefield Castle Hotel is an outstanding example of Scottish baronial architecture. Built in 1837, the Castle stands high on the famous Kintyre peninsula commanding quite spectacular panoramic views over Loch Fyne. Guests can relax in the traditional elegance of wood paneled lounges with fine corniced ceilings, unwind on leisurely walks through the 60 acres of woodland grounds. BOOK THIS TODAY!
