Built in 1870 Glenapp Castle was carefully restored retaining the charm and character of the original building and opened as a 5 star luxury hotel in 2000. A member of Relais & Châteaux since 2001, the castle is one of the finest country house hotels in the UK with AA Three Rosettes for Cuisine.
The Castle has 17 luxury bedrooms each bright and airy with tall elegant Victorian windows, en-suite facilities with Penhaligon toiletries, direct dial telephone, wireless broadband access (T-Mobile Hotspot), TV, video, CD and DVD players.

The Master Rooms are palatial in size with ornate cornicing and separate sitting rooms while all bedrooms and public areas are furnished with antiques and fine oil paintings to the very highest standard. Welcoming children of all ages the ground floor family suite has connecting bedrooms with en-suite facilities and East Wing Suites with double sofa beds. Most rooms can also accommodate one or more roll-away beds and there is a range of DVDs, books, videos and games for young children.
