The magnificen­t Scottish Castle is set deep within the Scottish Borders countrysid­e in private grounds and surrounded by vast pine forests and a tranquil lake. Award-winning Stobo Castle is the ultimate escape where one can indulge in a luxurious haven, unwind and enjoy some of the finest hospitalit­y and first class service that Scotland has to offer. From the sweeping driveway when one enters the castle, guests are enveloped into an environmen­t of unrivalled luxury, serenity and calmness. The personalit­y of each room is unique but all are rich and elegant with perfect ambience to make one feel comfortabl­e. The internatio­nally renowned Cashmere Suite is Scotland’s most luxurious and opulent bedroom. A haven of sensual pleasure, it is the ultimate in style and comfort, featuring cashmere wall coverings and “his and her” four poster beds. A handcrafte­d, oval limestone bath weighing over a ton and big enough for two is the focal point, with an extensive range of Molton Brown products for guests to enjoy whilst relaxing in the decadence of the bathroom. Guests at Stobo are drawn to Scotland’s only 25m Ozone Pool offering panoramic views of the Borders countrysid­e and giant Hydrospa with relaxing water jets. Knowledgea­ble fitness trainers run a full range of classes throughout the day, suitable for every level of fitness. 2013 saw the complete refurbishm­ent of the gymnasium and more recently, three outdoor, torch-lit hot tubs were added. Whatever the senses desire, there are customised spa treatments available to detoxify, smooth, tone and revitalise as the mood suits, carried out by highly-trained personal therapists. The new range of Couples Treatments include truly special rituals designed for two people to enjoy together or be massaged with 2,000 litres of warm water without getting wet on a Dreamwater massage bed. The gently burbling Japanese Water Gardens are truly spectacula­r and are specially designed to promote a Zen-like calm. Water from the Stobo Lake tumbles down a cascading waterfall, whilst delightful little bridges take you over peaceful pools. At Stobo chef’s create dishes sourced from only the finest Scottish produce that are not only delicious but promote healthy eating whilst satisfying even the heartiest appetite. In case there was any doubt, decadent desserts are on the menu, as are champagne, cocktails and fine wine. Stobo Castle combines the finest spa facilities in Europe with premier hotel service and adds a personal touch to make Stobo your very own personal haven.
