Our holiday accommodation is situated in and around romantic Culzean Castle, designed by Robert Adam in the 1770s on one of Scotland's most spectacular clifftop sites. This setting gives the castle magnificent views across the Firth of Clyde to the island of Arran.The 565 acres of Country Park surrounding the castle offer a stimulating variety of countryside to explore, including clifftop and woodland walks, a delightful Swan Pond, and many fascinating small buildings contemporary with the castle, such as the Gas House and the Ice House. Children, especially, will enjoy the adventure playground, the Deer Park and the rock pools on the shore.
