The real Traitors castle is even better than it looks onscreen – discover how to stay yourself

As mentioned, the castle is situated on the banks of the River Alness and boasts 100 acres of land. 

The sprawling grounds and location by the water are perfect for undertaking those gruelling challenges in the hopes of racking up more money for the jackpot.

This is where serious action goes down. Each evening, the group gathers to discuss and dissect each others' game plans, trying to figure out who is lying and who really is faithful. At each roundtable session, the group takes a vote and whoever has the most has to leave, before revealing whether they are in fact a traitor who was wrongly banished as a faithful.

The grand circular table makes it the perfect place for contestants to read each other's body language and reactions, and the wooden 19th century-décor adds to the gothic, historical theme.

Unsurprisingly, the game players don't do much cooking on the show but this kitchen would be an incredible place to cook up a feast.

The room has lots of old features that compliment the castle's centuries-old layout, but there are gorgeous modern touches including huge gold lights hanging from the ceiling, with a matching gold tap and sunning marble-topped surfaces.

Host of The Traitors, Claudia, welcomed the 22 civilians onto the show during episode one which aired on Thursday, and immediately upon walking into the castle, they are greeted by a huge entrance hall. 

There are high ceilings, long corridors and countryside touches that make it the perfect place to hold the games. It has to be said that Claudia's wardrobe matches the entire aesthetic perfectly and we are obsessed.

Claudia, once again, looks right at home in this photo showing the huge staircase at Ardross Castle. The grand stairs are wide and made of stone, with gothic artwork adorning the walls, too.

The Traitors games room gives off serious Cluedo vibes, which is very apt given the aim of the game. We adore the bright orange velvet chairs with large, matching sofas. 

The green cushions and dark teal velvet cushions complement the décor perfectly and even match the green of the snooker table centred in the room.

After a tense roundtable session, the group often take themselves off the bar to recover and unpack the events of the game. The room has a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a fully functioning bar that wouldn't look out of place at a swanky London hotspot.

The large seating area allows the players to relax and chat away, in front of a feature shelf on the wall adorned with vintage clocks and vases.

Each morning, the group reconvenes in the dining room one by one to find out who has been murdered the night before. They gather at the table which is always covered in the most tempting and delicious breakfast spread we've ever seen!

We love that every single room in the castle has been designed and styled with the theme of the game in mind. 

The contestants may not have much downtime to read during their stay at Ardross, but the library gets used in other ways, for example, during games where they have to find and spot hidden clues and items to collect. It's also where Claudia films a lot of her presenting pieces-to-camera.

The turret is arguably one of the most important parts of the castle for the BBC show. Each evening, the traitors gather under the cover of darkness – and their iconic robes – to decide who they will be "murdering" from the group. 

It's also here where they recruit new traitors to join them, and where Claudia often meets them to inform them of twists and turns in the game.
