We had a wonderful family holiday in one of the apartments in the Stables. The estate is a great oasis of peaceful walks, with a wide range of mature trees particularly noteworthy. Blairquhan staff were helpful and welcoming. The apartment was simply furnished but perfectly adequate for us. The area was new to us and we loved it, the beaches on the Ayrshire coast, the wilderness in the Galloway National Park, and the rolling hills all round Blairquhan. And we had a memorable day on the Isle of Arran.

This glorious 260ha estate was once the playground of David Kennedy, 10th Earl of Cassillis – a man who was keen to impress with his wealth and status. Opulent to the extreme, the park is planted with conifers and beech, sculpted around miles of sandy coastline dotted with caves, and finished off with a Swan Pond, an ice house, flamboyant formal gardens and fruit-filled glasshouses. The castle itself is perched on the Ayrshire cliffs, incorporating everything the earl could wish for in his country home. It was designed by Robert Adam in the late 18th century and is filled to the turrets with treasures that tell the stories of the people who lived here.

We recently stayed in Culzean Caste for a dinner bed and breakfast deal bought through itison/groupon. Deal included afternoon tea/coffee and cream scone on arrival, then tour of the castle which was very interesting. We later had a lovely meal and complimentary drink. Stayed overnight in the castle guest rooms. Nice grand country house feel with very comfy beds. Followed by a delicious breakfast then a lovely walk in the grounds the next morning. David the duty manager was a lovely young man who was very good at his job and made us very welcome. Thoroughly enjoyable stay and great value for money. Would recommend.
