This beautiful property is available for exclusive use and offers a superb location for golfers wishing to play the best of the Ayrshire Golf Courses. Designed by the celebrated architect David Bryce for Mr James Hunter, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire, the castle’s mellow sandstone battlements are topped by soaring turrets and towers, earning this property a rightful place as one of the most romantic castles in Scotland.

The castle was purchased in 1917 by James Lyle Mackay, who later became the 1st Earl of Inchcape. The Inchcape family owned the castle until 1982, during which time they expanded the estate considerably and enlarged and altered the castle to its present form.

Local hoteliers, the McMillan Family purchased the castle in June 1994, by which time it had, sadly, fallen into a very poor state of repair. Their daughter and son-in-law, Fay and Graham Cowan, made the castle their home and embarked upon a lengthy restoration.

Inside Glenapp there are once more graceful lounges and elegant dining rooms with seemingly endless oak panelled hallways leading to seventeen individually furnished and decorated bedrooms and suites. All are now handsomely furnished with personally chosen antiques and fine oil paintings, and individually decorated to the highest standard in traditional style. The two ‘Master Rooms’ are palatial in size, with highly ornate cornice- work. There are two suites, which in addition to the bedroom area have an interconnecting sitting room. All of the castle’s rooms are bright and sunny thanks to the tall and elegant Victorian windows and all the rooms have luxurious and traditionally appointed en suite facilities.

Each evening at dinner, all guests are served a six course gourmet menu, expertly prepared by Head Chef, Adam Stokes and his team. The menus change daily and utilises the best of the seasonal and local ingredients.
