The Granary Lodge

"Prince Charles spent much of his childhood at the Queen Mother’s Castle of Mey. No wonder then that His Royal Highness was keen to share the area’s wild magic, opening this charming B&B last year. It is housed in a renovated 17th-century granary, with ten elegant bedrooms, blazing fires and deliciously comfortable living rooms with sea views. The dining room is enchanting and low key, filled with a collection of antique grandfather clocks – as beautiful as you would expect. But a highlight of a stay here is the unparalleled access to the nearby castle and gardens for after-hours tours or a private dinner party in the royal dining room."

A Glimpse Inside Prince Charles’s Cozy Scottish Bed and Breakfast | Vogue

"Renovated by the Prince’s Trust, this cozy getaway in Caithness, Scotland sits on the grounds of the Castle of Mey and was officially opened by the prince on May 1. With just 10 bedrooms—two of them suites—each space has its own decor, from a floral-patterned headboard with framed drawings of crustaceans to another room adorned with warm renderings of botanicals, plus a light blue bathroom with a stand-alone tub. A drawing room overlooks the North Sea and Orkney, where a fire is always crackling, and every morning a warm homemade breakfast made from local ingredients greets guests." - Elise Taylor

Granary Lodge | Best places to stay in the Scottish Highlands

"Until Prince Charles opened this luxury B&B in the old grain store just across the fields from his late grandmother’s Scottish holiday home, the Castle of Mey, it was slim pickings up here in terms of upmarket holiday accommodation. The 17th-century granary has been painstakingly restored and converted into a cosy, chintz-clad guesthouse with stellar green credentials, of course, by the Prince’s Foundation. There are 10 individually designed rooms and suites in fabulous fabrics, a log fire-basted drawing room and a corridor lined with black and white photographs of the Queen Mother enjoying blustery picnics – one for Royalist road trippers. There are sweeping views out across the Pentland Firth to Orkney, and it’s the perfect pitstop if you’re driving the North Coast 500. " - Lucy Gillmore
