Try something different and visit Scottish Castle Apartments situated on the Isle of Lewis in the Scottish Hebrides. The castle dates back to the Victorian era and houses a museum, cafe and lots of luxury apartments. The castle has recently undergone a restoration during which they built the brand new museum wing and worked on restoring the Victorian part of the castle.
The one bedroom apartment is beautifully appointed with lots of locally inspired decor twists such as Harris tweed blankets. There is one bedroom with a double king-size bed, a kitchen/living area with flat screen TV and an en-suite bathroom with luxury toiletries. There are partial views of the castle garden from some of the rooms. All of the 1 bedroom apartments are based on the mezzanine floor of the castle.
