Escape to a Downton Abbey-style manor, with a modern twist, at Glenapp Castle
Glenapp Castle Launches Downton Abbey-Inspired Luxury Escape
Glenapp Castle, a Relais & Châteaux property nestled on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland, has unveiled a new themed luxury experience. The "Regal Elegance: A Downton Abbey-Inspired Escape" offers guests a chance to step back in time and immerse themselves in Edwardian grandeur.
The package includes a two-night stay in castle bedroom suites, furnished with period pieces and luxury fabrics. Guests will also receive afternoon tea upon arrival and enjoy seven-course dinners in the castle's three AA Rosette restaurant.
Outdoor activities abound, with over 70 options available, such as tennis, croquet, estate tours, and more. The expansive private grounds of Glenapp Castle, including Italian gardens designed by Gertrude Jekyll, provide a picturesque backdrop for these activities.
Emma Blackmore, the manager who initiated this unique experience, aims to create an authentic Edwardian atmosphere. Guests will learn to prepare for formal dinner parties in period style and receive instruction on Edwardian decorum from the castle's butlers.
This approach to themed luxury experiences is not unique to Glenapp Castle. Other businesses and heritage properties are also leveraging popular culture connections to attract guests. British Airways, for example, has created an in-flight safety video that features employees in both modern and period costumes, bridging the gap between historical Britain and modern air travel.
The British Airways video, titled "A British Original Period Drama," premiered last year and draws inspiration from Britain's rich literary and cinematic heritage. It taps into the trend for period aesthetics that has taken off in the wake of series like Bridgerton and Downton Abbey. Filming locations for the video include grand country estates like Hatfield House in Hertfordshire and Englefield House Estate in Berkshire.
The video portrays 19th-century characters interacting comically with modern aviation safety procedures, providing an entertaining and engaging way to learn about safety protocols.
The "Regal Elegance: A Downton Abbey-Inspired Escape" at Glenapp Castle is in response to the upcoming release of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. The two-night package is priced at £445 per person per night. With its commanding coastal position and period architecture, Glenapp Castle provides an authentic backdrop for this Edwardian experience.
For those seeking a taste of the Edwardian era, the "Regal Elegance: A Downton Abbey-Inspired Escape" offers a unique opportunity to step into the world of high society and experience the grandeur of a bygone era.
