Now you can live like royalty – at Prince Charles’ luxury bed and breakfast in the grounds of a Scottish castle
If you have always wished to experience the life of royalty, here’s your chance, even if only for a night or two – at a luxurious bed and breakfast that has been opened by Britain’s Prince Charles.
Christened The Granary Lodge, the accommodation is located in the grounds of Castle of Mey – once the holiday home of the prince’s grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother – in Caithness, northern Scotland, overlooking the North Sea.
It was officially opened by the prince – known as the Duke of Rothesay when he is in Scotland – on May 1 and opened its doors to the public on May 6.
Comprising 10 bedrooms, including two luxury suites, The Granary Lodge aims to become an attractive tourist hot spot in Scotland’s North Highlands.
Inside, the property features imperial Victorian furnishings with floral drapery, dark wood furniture and charming decorative accents.
The main lounge features arched ceilings, exposed beams, and a large rug, while the hallway features a display of black and white photographs of Britain’s royal family hung along the blue plastered walls.
Additionally, the two suites’ bathrooms feature a bathtub, dual vanity, large floor mirror and a separate shower.
Outside, the lodge enjoys stunning views of cliffs and the North Sea, making it an ideal getaway for royal fans.
The Lodge has been developed by the educational charity, The Prince’s Foundation, and will be owned and operated by The Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust.
Stays at the Granary Lodge can be booked from US$208, which also includes a freshly cooked traditional, continental or vegan breakfast “made from quality, locally sourced ingredients”, the Lodge says.
