Scotland travel: The top floor of Culzean Castle is where the Eisenhower apartments are located. This view was the only unique item offered to guests of the castle. No photography and no videos were allowed in the main section of the castle, nor was independent after-hours exploration allowed off the top floor of the castle, despite our 'guest' status. So after driving a long way to this delightfully isolated coastal castle and spending almost $2,000 per night (900 pounds) for 3 of the 6 rooms of Culzean Castle, we found there were few other "perks" for castle guests other than this view. It was with great regret that we decided not to stay the last two nights of our booking. It was with even greater regret that we found the rule "cancel by 6:00pm the day of your booking to avoid penalty" did not apply at Culzean Castle. We were accustomed to that rule from, well, every other hotel/castle/resort that we have ever stayed at. We feel this stiff penalty bears mention somewhere on their web site.
