A former abandoned stable block, located inside a walled garden on the castle grounds, has been restored to house seven en-suite bedrooms, with five modern cabins and a sauna to accommodate 10 more people to be built in the new year.
When completed, the castle and its 32-acre grounds, which boast a rich heritage including being the only home of Isobel Wylie Hutchison, described by Carlowry Castle as “Scotland’s greatest female explorer”, will be able to host 50 guests.
