THE Traitors is back on TV with contestants competing in a game show of deception and scheming – all in the stunning backdrop of Ardross Castle in Scotland.
Sadly, Ardross Castle is under lock and key and is not open to the public.
But there are over 4,000 castles all over the UK some that you can visit and and some, you can stay in.
Ardross is a 19th century Baronial-style castle that sits in 100 acres of parkland and gardens on the banks of the River Alness.
There is a way to get closer to it with a stay at the five-star Ness Walk Hotel in Inverness.
However, Ardross can’t be explored up close unless for weddings or filming for TV.
So we’ve found seven others around the UK that you can spend the night, and all for under £90.
