The Baronial Castle was first recorded as a mansion house in 1626 and is now the only habitable castle on Loch Ness. Including a wing built by the famous Scottish architect Sir Robert Lorimer, the Castle is a classic example of Scottish Baronial architecture.
Now available to be hired for exclusive use offering a rare taste of authentic Highland estate living, the castle is bursting with traditional opulence, classic style and warm Scottish hospitality.
Relax in the comfort of the Red Drawing Room as you watch the mist roll in from Loch Ness, enjoy a cosy escape in the authentically Scottish Lairds room or have fun playing one of the traditional games found in the Billiard Room.
The Castle is all about getting together and having a good time. It is a place where the cares of the world seem far far away; appreciating good conversation around roaring log fires, savouring fine wines from the Castle's cellar and enjoying great food in the magnificent Dining Room.
The fifteen bedrooms at the Castle also offer an equally indulgent experience with rich fabrics and elegant furniture, grand four poster beds draped in sumptuous velvets and the cosiest of rooms with a charm all of their own.
Every bathroom is entirely individual too from the Print Bathroom boasting the most comfortable of baths, the theatrical Nymph room with its hand painted murals to the quirky shower hidden high up in one of the turrets.
Situated on its very own 500 acre estate on the southern shores of Loch Ness, the Castle boasts some breathtaking Highland scenery. The lawns from the castle lead down to the shores of Loch Ness to a private marina from which you can embark onto the loch. The estate also has wonderful walks through formal gardens and 150 year old arboretum to the Victorian greenhouses, a kitchen garden, and four self catering holiday cottages available to let scattered around the estate.
The Castle's central location, 5 miles from the city of Inverness, makes it the perfect base from which to explore the wider Highlands, and a vast range of attractions and activity opportunities can be easily reached for a day out.
