Have you ever imagined that you were a Princess living in a large and looming castle? Now you can have that amazing medieval experience without having to draw your bath water from the well! Castle hotels today combine fascinating and other-worldly adventure with much of what modern luxury has to offer. Dine in front of warm open fireplaces amidst torch lights, sleep in richly decorated bedrooms, and relax in luxurious spas.
The Dalhousie Castle was built in the 13th Century and significant additions were made up until the 15th Century. Originally, the only access to the Castle was over a drawbridge which stretched over a moat and this access is still the only way to reach the Castle hotel. The Castle is about 8 miles from Edinburgh, Scotland, in the parish of Cockpen. It is situated within acres of picturesque parkland and river banks. As a guest you can enjoy access to the vast grounds surrounding the castle. And for those guests who plan on taking advantage of the lovely grounds, a light rain jacket is highly recommended, as Scotland is known for its lovely rains.
There are quite a few different types of accommodations in the castle available for guests, including the Castle Rooms, Themed Four-Poster Rooms, Suites, Lodges, and Executive rooms. All of the rooms are designed to mimic the old-worldly feel of the castle itself.
If staying in the castle makes you feel like a Prince or Princess, the Aqueous Spa will reinforce that idea. At the Dalhousie Castle Hotel’s Aqueous Spa, guests can receive a wide variety of spa treatments. Consider going for the Skin Resonance treatment or a nutritional wrap, either one will leave you feeling relaxed.
The Castle also has a variety of fine dining options, from private dining to large banquets. At the Castle’s Dungeon restaurant you will enjoy old Scottish Castle favorites such as Venison and Grouse. Not in the mood for that? The Orangery is another dining option at the Castle and serves both Scottish and Continental food. Either way, you’re taken care of.
