A Relais & Chateaux castle hotel wrapped in gardens and woodland above the Ayrshire coast, Glenapp looks out to Ailsa Craig and pours its attention into intimate service and an award-winning kitchen, with the more relaxed Azalea alongside the main restaurant. Sea safaris and whisky tastings fill the days. The Ayrshire Coastal Path runs close below, and the fishing village of Ballantrae is a short way up the shore for an easy pairing with dinner.
