Kilmartin Cottage | Multi-Awarded Castle Nestled in Historic Glen

5 Bedroom Cottage in Kilmartin, Lochgilphead

To reserve your stay, simply select ‘1 room’ (which means the entire castle) and let us know how many adults will be joining you, so we can prepare for your arrival. When you book Kilmartin Castle for your holiday, family gathering, or small elopement, you’ll have exclusive use of the entire castle. We don’t offer individual rooms—your group gets the whole property to yourselves.
Kilmartin Castle was built in 1550 for John Carswell, the Rector of Kilmartin, later Bishop of the Isles. It was held by the Campbell Clan, then abandoned for 200 years. Now, a luxury retreat for walkers, history lovers, couples, families & friends who enjoy discovering unique places to stay.
Guests say 'We wish we had stayed longer.'
An authentic castle retreat, welcoming and warm, rustic and honest. The castle walls and floors have been deliberately left with their original aged patina. Interiors are a mix of antique furniture and original artworks and objects that we have lovingly collected over time. The kitchen is well equipped with two Bosch ovens, Neff induction hob, fridge freezer and a dishwasher so no-one has to draw the short straw there. The dining room sits 8-10 guests and the grand hall is a fabulous place to gather around the fire. A HD projectpr allows you to pull down a hidden screen and enjoy a movie together. The whisky snug is an excellent place to sneak off to with a good read. All five en suite bedrooms have been individually designed including wood burning stoves, extravagant walk in showers, roll top copper baths and luxury bedding.
Our gardens have been recently landsacped to include a raised lawn, orchard, sunken fire-pit, dining table and sitting area with wood buring stove. The outdoor kitchen is full equipped with crockery, cutlery and sink with hot running water. There is a large Kamado Joe, a BBQ and a pizza oven. We grow our own organic fruits, herbs and vegetables at the castle which you are welcome to enjoy. We also have a wild swimming pond which is fantastic on a sunny day. A stone shed has become outside toilets, complete with wood burner. In early 2023 we will be building a glasshouse which will become a dining room in the garden providing shelter should there be a Scottish rain shower whilst you are barbecueing.

Summary: Staying here was one of the best things I've ever done in my life! Everything about it was perfect. The hosts were great - my friends and I were welcomed with fresh bread and shown around the castle and grounds as well as given some great tips about the town and surrounding area. We went swimming in the pond and enjoyed a fire in the firepit under the stars. We picked fruit and vegetables to eat from the organic garden. The castle is so beautiful inside - I must have taken 200 photos! I loved the real 1550 castle feel...thick stone walls, curved ceilings, spiral stairs, etc, and how all of the decor fit so well...very cozy! I could stay there forever! And Kilmartin is so lovely - the Museum and historical sites were amazing. I will definitely be staying here again, next time it will be for longer!
