Castle Douglas, located in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, is home to a remarkable Grade A listed Scottish tower house dating back to the mid-Seventeenth century, crafted by William Maclallen. This historic property accommodates up to nine guests, offering five bedrooms and a variety of amenities, including the allowance of pets and the charm of an open fire. The castle boasts stunning westerly views of the Glenkens hills, surrounded by mature lawned gardens and scenic countryside, providing a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking a unique experience in the heart of Scotland.
The interior of the castle is furnished in a traditional country style, featuring a spacious kitchen family room on the ground floor, a grand Great Hall on the first floor, and four bedrooms with two bathrooms (one of which is en suite) on the second floor. An additional en suite bedroom is conveniently located above the entrance. Nestled within the Barscobe Estate, an 800-acre privately owned area, the castle is situated about a mile from Balmaclellan village and 17 miles from Castle Douglas, ensuring a peaceful and secluded environment for guests.
Guests at Barscobe House can enjoy a range of outdoor activities in the vicinity, including wild trout fishing at the picturesque Barscobe Loch, sailing, canoeing, and water skiing on Loch Ken. The Galloway Forest Park offers excellent opportunities for hill walking and mountain biking, while a local golf course in New Galloway caters to golf enthusiasts. Additionally, the estate is conveniently located near sandy beaches and renowned country houses such as Drumlanrig Castle and Dumfries House, offering a well-rounded experience for those exploring the area.
When it comes to pricing, the castle requires a minimum stay of three nights, with nightly rates varying by season. Discounts are available for longer stays, with significant reductions for bookings of four nights or more. However, the property strictly prohibits gatherings such as all-male or all-female parties, stag, or hen parties, ensuring a serene atmosphere for all guests. With its blend of historical charm, natural beauty, and diverse activities, this castle serves as an ideal destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the Scottish countryside.
