Hafton Castle

Hafton Castle is a magnificent building located in Hunter's Quay, just outside Dunoon with views across Holy Loch. The Castle is set in its own delightful gardens and has a large heated indoor swimming pool. (please note that the price quoted does not include the heating and use of the pool - there is an additional charge of £500 per week for this.

Hafton Castle is a superb house with its wonderful indoor pool, and numerous spacious public rooms. There is a large reception hall, dining room, large drawing room with bar area which opens into the small drawing room, library, billiard room, toy room, spacious conservatory and lots of outdoor space with a terrace and gardens, in fact plenty of space for the large number of people it sleeps. The splendid reception hall has numerous seats, wood-burner and a grand piano and would be the perfect place for a wedding ceremony. The nineteen bedrooms are comfortable and all have en-suite showers.

The house can be reserved for smaller parties from 6 people and a special price can be arranged for this.

The large drawing room with bar area opens into the small drawing room to make one very large room which is perfect for Wedding Receptions, parties, or any other gathering. Music can be arranged for any evening of your stay, classical, traditional, Scottish music or a Ceilidh.

Outside in the gardens are old trees, lawns and beautiful views across the Loch. The Castle is very accessible and can be reached from Glasgow Airport in approximately 45 minutes by car and guests usually arrive via the ferry, which departs from Gourock and crosses the Firth of Clyde, a very romantic and atmospheric start to their stay at Hafton.

There are many local activities, golf, swimming, clay pigeon shooting, sailing, fishing and quad biking to name but a few. Dunoon itself is the home of the Cowal Highland Gathering and has a castle and museum. Day trips can be taken to the Benmore Botanical Gardens, Bute and Wemyss Bay.
