Crossbasket Castle

Crossbasket Castle is a stunning 17th-century castle that has been transformed into a five-star hotel just 20 minutes from Glasgow. Steeped in history, it is a magnificent estate with nine beautiful bedrooms, one of which is a four-storey tower suite dating back to the 16th-century, each one uniquely decorated with lavish period features. There is also a two-bedroom Gate Lodge with its own hot tub, sauna and steam room. The restaurant is overseen by legendary culinary dynasty Albert and Michel Roux Jr and the peaceful castle grounds provide a secluded haven for a complete escape.

For those seeking a hidden gem experience in Scotland.
