Downtown-style retreats at Glenapp Castle, its noble owner's estate
In the picturesque countryside of Scotland, Glenapp Castle has announced a unique and luxurious offering for those seeking a blend of history and modernity. The castle, a Relais & Châteaux property, has launched a "Regal Elegance: A Downton Abbey-Inspired Escape."
This two-night package, priced at £445 per person per night, is available ahead of the release of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale on September 12. The castle, with its 21 bedrooms and Scotland's largest hotel suite, promises an authentic Edwardian experience.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with afternoon tea, setting the tone for their stay. Accommodation is in castle bedroom suites furnished with period pieces and luxury fabrics, providing a touch of elegance reminiscent of the Edwardian era.
The property's commanding coastal position and period architecture provide an authentic backdrop for the Edwardian experience. The castle's private grounds include Italian gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll, offering a serene and picturesque setting.
Guests will be prepared for formal dinner parties in authentic period style, as part of the package includes instruction from Glenapp Castle's butlers on Edwardian etiquette. The castle's three AA Rosette restaurant will serve a seven-course dinner, a fitting conclusion to each day.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find over 70 activities to partake in, such as tennis, croquet, estate tours, and more. The castle's vast grounds offer ample opportunities for exploration and relaxation.
The British Airways safety video, titled "A British Original Period Drama," serves as an example of such an effort to create a themed experience that blends history and modernity. Filmed at grand country estates, including Hatfield House in Hertfordshire and Englefield House Estate in Berkshire, the video features 19th-century characters interacting comically with modern aviation safety procedures.
This trend for period aesthetics, popularized by series like Bridgerton and Downton Abbey, has inspired businesses and heritage properties like Glenapp Castle to leverage popular culture connections to attract guests seeking themed luxury experiences that combine entertainment with authentic historical settings.
Glenapp Castle joins this movement, offering a Downton Abbey-inspired escape that promises a truly regal experience. For those seeking a touch of elegance and a taste of the Edwardian era, Glenapp Castle's Regal Elegance package is an unmissable opportunity.
