Entrance hall
The classic Norman Barrel vault room, which is the ground floor of the 14th Century Tower House or Keep.
The entrance doorway and window in the hall were both formed in the 1980’s when the house was split into two houses. The door at the far end now takes you to the lobby of the kitchen and dining room, it was originally the foot of the spiral stairs that were added to the tower, probably in 15th Century.
Drawing Room
The heart of Craufurdland Castle, the beautiful Georgian Drawing Room is a welcoming space to gather, relax, and enjoy time together. With exquisite cornicing, elegant 10-foot-high windows overlooking Craufurdland Water, and a grand marble fireplace, the room combines historic charm with modern comfort.
Gather around the fire, take in the views, and enjoy the company of generations of Craufurd ancestors who watch over the room from the walls. With comfortable seating for everyone, it is the perfect place to unwind and make memories.
Dining Room
Please don’t let my ancestors put you off your food, they’re good sorts really.
The table will take up to 16 and with that many voices and laughs, how can you not enjoy the food, drink and merriment.
Stairs & Landing
The grand stairs were the main staircase for the Castle.
More ancestral paintings are hung on the walls and space allows for some very large pictures. At the bottom of the stairs is our “snug” with some books to peruse through.
The King James Room is halfway up the stairs.
Kitchen
Architecturally, few kitchens can boast more unusual windows, the Tower House kitchen will remind those old enough of TV’s ‘Playschool’, with its arched, round and rectangular windows.
We hope you will find everything you need in the kitchen including all your herbs and spices! We have tried to make the castle a home from home, and as such kitted out the kitchen hopefully with all the tools of a cook’s kitchen. If you can’t find anything you need please ask, we’re just next door.
Utility Room
Housed in a smaller vault, the utility has a small WC at the end, with sink.
This also contains your washing machine, and lots of pegs you can dry any coats and waterproofs, that’s if it rains.
