Kilmartin Castle

Kilmartin Castle | Best places to stay in the Scottish Highlands

"If you’ve ever dreamt of bedding down in an ancient castle, it might well have looked like this bijoux bolthole. Straight out of the pages of a romantic novel, 16th-century Kilmartin Castle lies in a wild, windswept west coast glen, once owned by the Campbell clan. Now a luxurious five-bedroom B&B, it’s been sensitively converted, retaining the stone-flagged floors, barrel-vaulted ceilings and spiral staircases. It’s a tiny castle with bags of attitude and quirky touches, flickering fires, a record player and stack of vinyl and freestanding copper tubs. Best suited to history lovers, wild romantics and ‘Outlander’ fans, wanting to live the craggy-castle dream. " - Lucy Gillmore
