The Castle Penthouse Suite at Glenapp Castle New Year 2025

Bring in the bells in style at Glenapp Castle's New Year House Party. This three-night stay offers you luxurious accommodation, black ties, Champagne, plus fine dining and wines!

The Castle Penthouse Suite is an elegant four-bedroom apartment and is accessible through a private elevator.

Sleeping up to eight guests, the entire apartment will be exclusively yours for the New Year festivities, giving the best of both worlds. Enjoy the castle activities, and food, mingle with your fellow guests, then retreat to the privacy of your own private apartment.

30 December

• Arrive in time for a Champagne afternoon tea, and enjoy listening to Glenapp's pianist playing the baby grand piano;
• Get settled in and relax by the roaring open fires, or enjoy exploring the Glenapp Estate, including the unique Italian Gardens inspired by Gertrude Jekyll;
• Come and meet your fellow house party guests over pre-dinner drinks and canapés in the drawing-room, accompanied by the twinkling sound of Glenapp's resident harpist;
• A three-course gourmet dinner is served, with mouth-watering petits-fours. A fabulous way to start off the celebrations!

New Year's Eve

• Enjoy a traditional Scottish breakfast before you head off for a day of fun with the castle's New Year Curling Bonspiel in Stranraer. Take notes from your coaches, they're some of the finest in the world!
• Afternoon tea is served before heading back to the castle;
• The black-tie Hogmanay party begins with a Champagne reception in the drawing room, followed by a magnificent six-course banquet dinner with wines;
• Enjoy Scottish pipers, dancers, and the traditional 'beating retreat'. Then kick off those shoes and dance the night away at the Scottish Ceilidh;
• A glass of Champagne at midnight, along with a piper or two, will bring in 'the bells' Glenapp-style. Join newfound friends and family with Auld Lang Syne and dance through to the wee small hours.
