Bedrooms

SCOTTISH SUN

The only bedroom on the ground floor, Scottish Sun is bright and airy. It is decorated with a colourful peacock and gold mirror to emphasise the inherent cheeriness of the room!

The medium-sized bathroom has a full disabled access shower and pull cords.

Our bridal suite is no doubt the jewel in the crown of the Castle rooms. It is impossible to do this room justice in words. Initially, it impresses with its sheer size - as large as many people’s entire flat! However, after the initial intake of breath, it is its serenity and splendour which captivates you.

With its large windows and triple aspect positioning it is always flooded with light and therefore particularly loved by photographers. The colours are neutral and calming as during the restoration we removed the layers of paint left over the centuries to strip it back to its natural state. The delicate lighting and artwork complement the fine furniture and the combination of the enormous whirlpool bath and vast four poster bed adds to the glamour and romance.

The large, indulgent bathroom is pink marble with a dramatic large shower and His ‘n’ Her basins. We have chosen not to put a bath in this room as the vast whirlpool bath in the Bridal Suite itself is its own attraction!

Rainbow

Rainbow is a lovely big and bright room and it takes its name from the many colours which are in the Jack and Jill bathroom which is shared with the interconnecting twin room. Like many of the castle rooms the furniture is a blend of old and new.

Pot of Gold

And at the end of the rainbow you hope to find not only a pot of gold, but a cosy twin room with access to the Jack and Jill bathroom, ideal for families. The decor here is bright and breezy with purple stripes throughout.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW

This beautiful large bedroom encapsulates one of our fundamental philosophies: to mix old and new to startling effect. With its four poster bed and sumptuous mustard coloured velvet drapings it exudes elegance. As you sink into the deep rug at the foot of the four poster bed and appreciate the stunning views, it is hard not to be entirely beguiled by this room!

Deluxe Room | Four Poster Bed | 30m²

Please note, the furnishings have been slightly changed since the taking of these photos.

This marble bathroom is one of the most spectacular in the Castle - the view straight out of the window onto the knot garden from the whirlpool bath is not one that you will forget in a hurry. The bathroom also benefits from a separate shower, if you are able to drag yourself out of the bath!

CARPE DIEM

Usually translated as "seize the day", this Latin aphorism is one of life’s philosophies which really appeals to us. So it made sense to name one of our most beautiful rooms after this notion. It really is not difficult to make the most of each day when you are gazing out onto the grounds from the four poster bed. The harmony of the orange and cream decoration invites you to relax whilst the double aspect ensures that light floods into this bedroom, whatever the weather!

The bathroom here is located in a circular turret. Making the most of this, we have installed a huge circular whirlpool bath! This attracts attention in the centre of the palatial bathroom, and not to be outdone, there is also a large separate shower. Topped off with His ‘n’ Her basins, this bathroom is not only the largest (almost 20m sq.), but arguably the most beautiful in the entire Castle.

CLANDESTINE

We’ve used the name ‘Clandestine’ in two senses - first, as the notion of “secretly hidden away”, and secondly, the wordplay of suggesting Scottish clans! Excuse us, but we rather like our puns… The room certainly lives up to its name in that it is slightly tricky to find. Hidden away from the main corridor the advantage is you can enjoy having a whole wing of the Castle practically to yourself! In terms of the second meaning, we’ve used this to decorate the room with different clans, tartans and pictures of rather scary old noblemen in kilts! The elegant red armchairs in this room are from the Savoy Hotel in London. When we were refurbishing the Castle, we were lucky in terms of timing that the Savoy was closed for its own refurbishment. It will not surprise you to hear we were the largest purchasers at the auction!

The feeling of the room being hidden extends to the bathroom which has a pretty special feel to it. With its lovely corner bath, it is cosy and tucked away.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING URNEST

The Importance of Being Urnest, a playful twist on the Oscar Wilde play is one of our triple rooms, with a lovely view over the gardens. It has an ensuite bathroom. Our courtyard rooms are not quite as glamorous as some of the other castle rooms, but is a lovely room in its own right.

RENAISSANCE

Renaissance is the largest of the three rooms that make up the Courtyard Suite, sharing a vast bathroom. With a large king bed that can be twinned into two beds, and a spacious room with a view over the castle courtyard.

THE BRIDGE

The twin of Grand Canal, one of the smaller rooms in the castle: a cosy double bed, with original features including a fireplace (unfortunately just decorative now!).

The Bridge shares the vast bathroom with Grand Canal and Renaissance.

PAGODA

This room that pays homage to pagodas of traditional Chinese architecture and the Chinese theme extends throughout from the oil painting of the hilltop town through to the blue and white porcelain so beloved of the area. The theme extends throughout - the four posts around the bed have Chinese undertones and we are particularly proud to have persuaded the lady who made all the curtains to embroider a pagoda onto the pelmet! Don’t say we’re not meticulous!

This large bathroom continues the Chinese theme with pagodas painted onto the tiles. There is a bath and separate shower.

BOTANICA

This room is large and very spacious. it takes flowers as its theme and the gilded frames showcase the delicate Victorian prints lending the room of calm sophistication.

Deluxe Room | Super King or Twin | 30m²

Please note, the furnishings in this room have been redesigned since the taking of this photo.

The bathroom however, though equally sophisticated, certainly cannot be called calm! With is glitzy black and green tiles, sunken whirlpool bath and separate shower it demands your attention, competing with the wonderful views out of the window.

VICTORIANA

With a bathroom suite that would take pride of place in any Victorian Mansion this room has a great sense of history about it. What we have done is to gather together all of the original bathroom furniture from the castle and put them together in one room. We almost made a terrible mistake - about to throw out the the victorian ‘combined housemaid’s sink and slop hopper’ because we thought it to be damage beyond repair, we found that it is apparently one of the very best examples of the genre in the UK and therefore had it completely restored - phew! The Victorian bathtub and old fashioned toilet give the finishing touches.

As for the room itself, we have furnished it with gracious prints from days gone by, but could not resist putting a couple of them at quirky angles! Last but most definitely not least are the armchairs which came from the Savoy Hotel. The larger of the two was from the bedroom where Marlene Dietrich stayed every time the screen goddess visited London.

ANTIGUA

Inspired by Perfect Sunshine Villa in Antigua this room is decorated with the colours of the Caribbean. Brightly coloured palm trees waft in an imagined breeze. Looking out over the glorious view to the Scottish Highlands, it is hard to figure out which is more inspiring - the turquoise of the Antiguan seas or the darker greens of the rolling hills!

Superior Room | Super King Bed or Twin | 25m²

To top it all, the bathroom is one of our favourite. We’ve heard of his ‘n‘ her basins before, but his ‘n’ her baths? And yet that’s exactly what you’ll find. Unforgettable!

THE NOOKERY

Although one of the smallest rooms in the castle this is a firm favourite! Every time we show it people comment on the smell of fresh wood. Reminiscent of a alpine chalet, we decided to furnish it in this way to remind ourselves of wonderful skiing holidays! The wooden theme extends right through to the bathroom and the tiny ice skating boots add a quirky touch.
