Indulge in a private tutored tasting in the property’s very own single malt whisky library and enjoy visits to the best Scottish distilleries. The nearby rivers boast some of the best salmon and trout fishing in the world. With tuition from a local ghillie cast a line in the estate’s own secluded fishery and enjoy fly fishing on the private loch.

Dream Escape Creative Planner Louise Murray, based in London, has been out and about exploring the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich of which the centrepiece is the Painted Hall. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren as a ceremonial dining room for what was then the new Royal Hospital for Seaman, the Painted Hall was completed in 1727.
Introducing the Dream Escape Tweed. Earlier this year, Scottish Interior Textile Designer Araminta Campbell set to work on a unique Dream Escape fabric design. Araminta was of course the driving force behind the outstanding interiors of the award-winning Fife Arms Hotel in Braemar last year, which was opened by HRH the Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Dream Escape’s Head of Guiding, Rosie, was in Ireland recently as a guest of Tourism Ireland and Failte Ireland on an action packed Educational Trip: ‘Northern Ireland meets the Wild Atlantic Way.’
So many fabulous new experiences en route that we can offer to Dream Escape’s clients as part of their programme.
From Belfast we travelled west to stately Hillsborough Castle and on to the Bramley apple orchards of Armagh and the hidden surprises of beautiful Derry to County Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way visiting castles, gardens, lighthouses and cliffs. Let’s not forget the Irish Coffee lunch and entertainment at the country pub which was the home of Enya and Clannad!
Two B2B Workshops gave Rosie the chance to meet new suppliers from all over Ireland and to chat about new experiences our regular suppliers are offering for 2020! Thank you Tourism Ireland and Failte Ireland.
They did it! After 7 Days and 500 very long hard miles, it's a wrap! Thank you all once again for your continued support and generous donations.
