Old Rowallan Castle dates from the 12th Century and has been lovingly restored.
Nestled in the centre of Rowallan Estate, it is the ancestral home of the Mures & Campbells. It is a highly unique space and acknowledged as the finest specimen of Renaissance Castle Architecture - still boasting original features.
With a 19 hole Championship Golf Course designed by Ryder Cup winning Captain Colin Montgomerie on its door step and the much acclaimed Glasshouse Restaurant only a short walk away.
The space
This is an unique opportunity to be King or Queen of your own castle! We have four large bedrooms, three with superking beds and one double bed, with the two superkings able to be changed to twins if required. All the beds are made up with 500tc Egyptian cotton. Luxurious bathrobes and Arran Aromatic toiletries are provided for the use of guests. Two of the bedrooms are ensuite, whilst two share a spacious bathroom. There is also the option to add two single sofa beds, which can be set up in the Castle Gallery within the turrets!
There is a well equipped kitchen with a large table and chairs, seating 10, and a small dishwasher. Space does not permit a washer/dryer, but we can provide a laundry service for a small fee, please enquire on check-in. We also have a grand dining room for more formal occasions, and if wished our chefs can cater for you, with advance warning! Our top gallery provides the perfect setting to relax after a day either exploring the surrounding area or out on the course. Equipped with a 55 inch TV, luxurious sofas, 6 foot pool table, card table with numerous games & several musical instruments; there is plenty available for an evenings entertainment. As it is a 12th Century listed building, the stairs may be uneven in places and some door frames are lower, so beware of bumping your head!
Guest access
The castle is entirely private so all rooms can be used exclusively by guests. Unfortunately, the Castle is not suitable for wheelchair access.
When you arrive on the Estate, please drive past the castle on your left, and you will come to the Glasshouse Restaurant/Golf Club where you will be met and taken down and shown around!
Other things to note

Hosts were great and very welcoming. The option for a private chef to cook for us was great!

The original building was strengthened with modern touches and all the rooms were eloquently decorated.
The combination of original time pieces and modern amenities led to a highly recommended exceptional stay.

Siew Leng8 years on AirbnbNone5November 2024Beautiful cozy castle, we enjoy our stay and love all the heritage elements in the castle.
ElizabethSharpsburg, PennsylvaniaNone5October 2024Staying at Rowallan castle was such a treat! We came with our three adult children and my 85 year old mother and there was plenty of room for everyone. It’s just as the pictures show, but better — the atmosphere is wonderful. George and Louise were very responsive hosts. We stayed only one night but it was worth going out of our way to be there. Beautiful, peaceful grounds as well. We also had an excellent breakfast at the glass house restaurant.
Bec9 years on AirbnbNone5October 2024A beautiful castle and experience to tick off our bucket list. The bedrooms were all super comfortable and bathrooms were fantastic! Loved it
CarrieBritish Columbia, CanadaNone5October 2024It was such an amazing place to stay! The location was beautiful and the castle was everything we hoped it would be. The hosts were great and went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
MelanieInglewood, CaliforniaNone5September 2024This place is bonkers. It's like jumping into the pages of a story book and escaping to another world. Having the chance to stay in an actual castle was unreal, and an opportunity we won't soon forget. A highly recommended experience!
ArianneWoodinville, WashingtonNone5September 2024What a phenomenal place! Our favorite stop of our trip to Scotland. The castle is wonderful, so comfortable and special. It is beautifully updated and beyond comfortable. Elegant without being stuffy and the bathtubs are amazing! Louise, George and Katie were so helpful and kind. We were spoiled. We loved the golf and skeet shooting was an awesome experience. It was an amazing treat.
