The Brewhouse Flat was part of the circular brewery which Robert Adam added on to the west end of the castle in the 1780s when he extended and converted the old 1590s castle into an Italian 'castle-style' seaside villa for the bachelor Lord David Kennedy, 10th Earl of Cassilis.

About the property:
Our holiday accommodation is situated in and around the romantic Culzean Castle, designed by Robert Adam in the 1770s on one of Scotland's most spectacular clifftop sites. This setting gives all our properties here magnificent views across the Firth of Clyde to the island of Arran; watch the fulmars coming and going from their precarious nests on the cliffs, enjoy the spectacular sunsets and let the rhythm of the waves lull you to sleep. The 228 hectares (565 acres) of Country Park surrounding the castle offer a stimulating variety of countryside to explore, including clifftop and woodland walks, a delightful Swan Pond, and many fascinating small buildings contemporary with the castle, such as the Gas House and the Ice House. Children, especially, will enjoy the adventure playground, the Deer Park and the rock pools on the shore. A Visitor Centre and ranger service will enhance your experience of the castle and park, and there are two restaurants on site. Shops are 5 miles away in Maybole or in Ayr, 13 miles away. The beautiful hills and coastline of Ayrshire provide a wide range of attractions. The region is home to over 30 golf courses, including the famous championship link courses of Turnberry, Royal Troon and Old Prestwick. Long sandy beaches at coastal villages such as Maidens, and the fascinating museums and monuments of Burns Country make this an ideal area for visitors. Ayrshire also offers excellent fishing, cycling, horse riding and clay shooting.
