"Following Alexander's death, his son, Sir Kenneth Matheson, sold the estate to businessman C W Dyson Perrins in 1898. Dyson Perrins spent several months annually at Ardross, with house parties making the most of the grouse moors, fishing and deer forests. Dyson Perrins continued the modernisation efforts, as well as installing electricity and purchasing further land in Glencalvie and Diebidale. A major addition was the Formal Garden, designed by Edward White for the east front."
"The Traitors US host Alan Cummings revealed that not even the cast stays in the castle (they all stayed in a far less glamorous Inverness airport hotel), and the castle is not a hotel, and rooms aren't available individually. Saying that, if you hire the venue for a wedding or for a group, then up to 41 guests can make the most of the unique overnight accommodation."
"While you'll need to throw quite the party or wed to check into the filming location of The Traitors and The Celebrity Traitors, there are some pretty regal places to stay nearby if the landscapes showcased in the opening scenes have dazzled you. Tulloch Castle Hotel is just a short drive from Ardross, a 12th-century castle that has been transformed into a cosy Highlands hideout. Meanwhile, Inverlochy Castle is a 19th-century castle near Fort William that offers all the drama of the OG Traitors' lair."
The estate passed from Sir Kenneth Matheson to C W Dyson Perrins in 1898, who modernised the property, installed electricity, and added land including Glencalvie and Diebidale. A Formal Garden by Edward White was created for the east front, with a perspective by C E Mallows exhibited in 1909. The estate was broken up and sold in 1937, with the Mardon family occupying the castle until 1983. The McTaggart family then acquired the property and restored formal, walled, and shrub gardens. The castle is not a hotel but can be hired for events with overnight stays for groups up to 41. Nearby historic hotel options include Tulloch Castle Hotel and Inverlochy Castle.
