Castle hotels with a spa in Scotland

Every stay on this page lists a spa or wellness facilities on Booking.com.

Glenapp Castle, Ballantrae

Every stay on this page lists a spa or wellness facilities on Booking.com. In Scotland, nine of the 99 castle stays we list meet that rule.

A listed spa can mean anything from a full spa with a pool and treatment rooms to a sauna in the basement. Spas are almost always in a modern extension, not in the castle.

On our Castle Authenticity Scale that breaks down as four castle-style mansions, four castle estate stays and one still being checked.
