The Laundry
The Laundry is beautifully positioned on a high bank above the Lake, with views of the Castle gardens across the water. It was built about 1850, as a working laundry serving Druminnor House. It was used by the Grants of Druminnor as a winter residence from the 1930s and was comprehensively renovated in 2010 as a holiday house, accommodating up to 6 guests.
