DESCRIPTION:
Lochgreen
House is set amidst thirty acres of woodland and landscaped gardens adjacent
to the famous fairways of Royal Troon and stands as a perfect reminder
of a bygone era. Built by the Morton family in 1905, the house features
fine wood panelling throughout with light oak in the hall and study and
cherry in the dining room. Meticulous attention to detail remains the
hallmark of Lochgreen House, which has developed into one of Scotlands
finest country houses.
There are
two sumptuously decorated sitting rooms, one of which contains a dispense
bar. Fine furnishings, paintings and glowing log fires during the colder
months enhance both areas. When not golfing, the more energetic guests
can avail of the tennis court or enjoy a stroll around the surrounding
gardens.
One of the
highlights of any visit to Lochgreen is the innovative cuisine offered
in the classic setting of the dining room. Proprietor and master chef,
Bill Costley was for many years a member and coach with the Scottish Culinary
Team and this is certainly reflected in the extensive selection of gourmet
dishes. Each of the fifteen deluxe en-suite guestrooms are well proportioned,
individually styled and boast fine antiques and luxurious bathrooms.
