Description

What’s Included

  • Historic hotel at top of Culzean Castle
  • Dramatic coastal setting
  • Cream tea & Prosecco
  • Dining option

Culzean (the z is silent don’t you know?) must be one of the most romantic and dramatic historic sites in Scotland. Overlooking the Ayrshire cliffs, it is a picturesque masterpiece created by Georgian genius Robert Adam.

It’s an impressive place to stay, as former US President Dwight D Eisenhower obviously found, returning there frequently between the end of the war and his death in 1969.

The castle’s elegant hotel bears the President’s name and you can follow in the footsteps of the great general with today’s Big Deal, offering a memorable break in this most spectacular location.

Clifftop castle

Set in Culzean Country Park, the imposing Culzean Castle blends medieval and neoclassical influences. If it seems familiar, you may remember it from its supporting role as the seat of Lord Summerisle in the original Wicker Man film.

The Eisenhower hotel is in keeping with its dramatic setting, offering six unique bedrooms and Adam’s dramatic circular saloon for guests to enjoy.

Individually decorated and styled, with period furniture, all the rooms have views to the sea or the stunning castle grounds.

Memorable stay

Available Sunday to Thursday, the Big Deal option one is for two people to stay one night in a double room at the Eisenhower.

Available Sunday to Thursday, option two is for two people to stay two consecutive nights.

Available Friday and Saturday, option three is for two people to stay one night with a three course dinner chosen from the set menu.

Available Friday and Saturday, option four is for two people to stay two consecutive nights with a three course dinner on one night.

All the deals offer full Scottish breakfast each morning plus cream tea and a glass of Prosecco each on the day of arrival.

Refined dining

The intimate Dining Room at the Eisenhower provides set menu dining on Fridays and Saturdays. Menus place the emphasis on freshly prepared local produce, including fruit and vegetables grown in the gardens at Culzean.

Menus change with the seasons but typical starters include chicken liver parfait with toasted brioche, fig and onion marmalade, spiced carrot & coconut soup with coriander crisps, and duo of salmon with baby leaf salad.

Mains include red pepper & walnut crusted Scottish salmon with pomegranate couscous, roast Ayrshire chicken breast with haggis, whisky cream and oatmeal potato, and slow cooked Scottish beef in Arran ale with chive mash and horseradish cream.

Dessert favourites feature lemon and lime posset with ginger biscuits, salted caramel and chocolate parfait, and Drambuie & berry marshmallow meringue.

See & do

The Big Deal includes free access to this remarkable castle and grounds and a free tour can be arranged upon check-in. Entrance would normally cost £15.50 per person and is subject to availability.

Guests can enjoy walks along the stunning Culzean coastal path or through the beautiful country park right on the doorstep.

The hotel can provide information on the wide range of sporting activities available in the area, including clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, archery, sailing or spa days.

With some of the world’s most famous golf courses within easy reach of the Eisenhower Hotel at Culzean Castle, visitors may enjoy a round of golf at Royal Troon, Old Prestwick and, Eisenhower’s favourite, Turnberry.

Impressed visitors

5pm bookers who were lucky enough to grab this deal the last time it was available have left glowing reviews, underlying how special an experience this stay at Culzean is:

‘We stayed in the Aisla Suite as Storm Freya battered the castle, but were cosy inside, able to look at the sea storms while taking afternoon tea before we enjoyed a tour that thoroughly entertained us. Delicious dinner and breakfast, great wine selection, staff that made us feel right at home.’ Caroline J

‘This deal was fabulous! The staff could not have been more helpful, the service and food was excellent, the room was just wonderful with magnificent sea views. Could not fault it in any way – one of the best deals ever. Siobhan S.
