Kilmartin Castle

We had an amazing four days at Kilmartin Castle, just the two of us! Some might think a castle is too big for just a party of two, but we felt just right! Stef & Simo have been so wonderful in all of their communication prior to, and during our stay. Every room was pristinely clean, and exceptionally beautiful. The castle is full of stunning design, antiques, and contemporary art at every turn. You can see how much love has been poured into this space. The beds and many bathtubs are wonderfully comfortable, and despite it being the depths of winter, every room is toasty warm. The digital guidebook provided was so helpful for the local and surrounding areas, as well as recommended wonderful private chef David Anderson from Argyll Chef's Table made the whole trip just perfect. We thank both Simo & Stef for hosting us for our special anniversary weekend. Well done, Kilmartin Castle, you were an epic dream and we will be sure to come again!!!

Beautiful castle, lovingly restored to its former glory. Bedrooms are all very individual, high quality bedding towels etc. if you can’t sleep in these beds, you won’t sleep anywhere!! Plenty of wood is provided for the log burners, there is even one in the outside toilet.

Kilmartin castle is a unique and special place! We were 4 couples and would also be great for a family. The kitchen is well equipped. We cooked in a few nights. There is a garden with fresh greens for salads, beets, tomatoes and plenty of fresh herbs. It is an experience to eat in the dining room. We had an amazing chef cook for us one evening and dined in the outdoor dining room greenhouse. The decor is eclectic and interesting. The bedrooms are very comfortable with cozy beds. There is a local pub 2 minute walk for dinner, wee dram or pint. Kilmartin Glenn is full of history. The local museum is amazing and they do educational walks is the area. I recommend traveling to this part of Scotland. There is plenty to see and do.

We so enjoyed our 5 day stay at Kilmartin Castle, with all of its wonderful uniqueness and authenticity! We really lived in the castle (cooking in a couple of nights which was great fun and enjoyed an award winning Chef’s dinner in the greenhouse dining room one night, out by the pond!)… We also enjoyed the small Kilmartin village (Great Pub, beautiful local museum - quite an historic area in Scotland) Boat trips, Scotch tours & tastings - along with the obligatory shopping in the towns we visited, made for a great stay in Kilmartin! Kudos to Simon for some very helpful referrals he gave us, too! Loved it!

Kilmartin Castle is a special place, we felt so privileged to experience an extraordinarily unique stay. Great care was taken to make everything perfect from the welcome Simon gave us to the exquisite fixtures and furnishings and spot on amenities. We walked the archeological sites, made lovely salads from the garden, visited the pub for drinks a few times, had a wild swim in the pond and dined in the greenhouse space, dinner served by famed local chef William Hamer.

What a wonderful experience. We celebrate the 60. birthday of my wife. It was absolut fantastic. Kilmartin castle has exceeded our already high expectations. We immediately felt at home. Simon welcomed us personally and show us the most important things. We enjoyed it very much. Thank you for all.

For those looking for a spectacular way to have an intimate wedding; Kilmartin Castle is near perfection. As a photographer, it meant the world that I had somewhere to create where I could forage the table elements, have helpful hosts, a getting ready spot in a stunning castle and the greenhouse for reception vibes. 10/10 recommend on behalf of my couple!

Wow! What an amazing space to celebrate! Kilmartin Castle was absolutely idyllic and perfect for our extended family. All the bedrooms were well equipped and had really cool furnishings. The dining room was so cosy as was the great hall where we all convened in the evenings. The outside dining space was incredible right next to the pond with beautiful views. And of course the fire pit went down well with everybody as dusk arrived. The location couldn't have been better to explore this part of Scotland which is slightly off the beaten path and makes it even more appealing. Simon and Stef have done a fantastic job with this destination!
