THE ENDEAVOUR A brief description

The Endeavour Penthouse Apartment has been in the planning for more than two years aiming to become Scotland’s finest Castle Apartment. This 4,000

square feet (371 square metres) laterally converted apartment, sits high above the West Coast of Scotland overlooking the Firth of Clyde. The apartment has

extraordinary views of the iconic Ailsa Craig island (pictured in the photograph opposite), the isle of Arran, the Mull of Kintyre and on a good day, Ireland.

The Endeavour has been beautifully designed incorporating fine antiques and art from around the world together with an array of rich and colourful fabrics.

The accommodation includes a sensitive combination of traditional Scottish baronial style and contemporary additions, with high-tech touches for the most

discerning of international travellers.

The apartment includes four stunning bedrooms and four bathrooms, a beautiful TV snug with seating for twelve, and a separate library and games room.

With panoramic views to the West, the lounge and dining room is able to seat sixteen guests with an adjacent period kitchen, with its own breakfast seating.

The apartment has nautical themes throughout, referencing the Castle’s maritime history and splendour and these speak of a bygone era throughout the entire

floors. Towards the south of the apartment, there is also a sauna, treatment room and private lift. Finally, in the tower section of the Castle, sits a spiral stone

staircase giving access to the very top of the Glenapp Castle Hotel with its historic turrets and crenelations.

The Endeavour will include full 24 hour butler service together with an exclusive private chef and has the option of total privacy and seclusion or engagement

with the main hotel itself with all of its exquisite dining facilities and renowned service.

THE TOWER - BATHROOM

With restored features dating back 150 years, this period

bathroom sits in the tower above the piper pictured

The impressive TV room with a high specification 65 inch

Library and Games room is the perfect place to leave behind

gadgets, phones and dig deep into your favourite book or to

play chess or bridge with a “wee dram” late into the night.
