Castle of Park
A ‘small but perfectly formed’ Scottish castle near Banff on the Moray Firth, Castle of Park has rapidly gained a reputation for its first-class painting and creative writing courses, unforgettable weddings and its unique getaway weekend house parties. The estate at Park dates back to 1242 and the castle itself originates in 1530, with elegant Georgian extensions in the 18th century. All the historic rooms have been lovingly restored, each bedroom has its own modern bathroom and there’s new central heating and a roaring log fire in the elegant Drawing Room, so the castle is as warm as the welcome our guests receive. The accent is on comfort, informality and fun.
