ExceptionalBaronial castle with bookable children's experiences

Glenapp Castle

Ballantrae, South Ayrshire, Scotland

A real fairy-tale castle on the Ayrshire coast, with turrets, walled gardens and views to Ailsa Craig. What makes it work for families is the bookable fun – den-building with a ranger, meeting the Highland cows, archery on the lawn – so children have their own adventure while you soak up the luxury.
