The Space:
*The Estate Grounds*

Spanning 3,000 acres, Errol Park's maintained grounds and gardens are a testament to nature's splendour and the estate's commitment to conservation. In spring and summer, the estate bursts into a kaleidoscope of colours and fragrances as wildflowers come into bloom. Autumn transforms the landscape into a canvas of golden and amber hues. The estate is adorned with ancient oak and yew trees, some dating back centuries. Notably, 31 majestic Wellingtonias (Californian redwoods) line the driveway. These, along with other conifers and hardwoods, contribute to the estate's rich arboreal tapestry.​ Wildlife thrives here; native red squirrels, can often be spotted darting among the trees. Highland cows graze peacefully in adjacent fields, and horses add to the pastoral charm of the estate.​

*The Main House*

Approaching via the tree-lined drive, guests are greeted by the striking façade of Errol Park House. Designed by architect Alexander Johnston between 1875 and 1877, this Renaissance-style mansion stands as a two-story, six-bay structure. The windows are architraved and pedimented, adorned with keystones and bracketed cills, showcasing the architectural elegance of the era. ​
