Description
A unique castle experience in Scotland!
When we traveled around Scotland in 2014 we were disappointed that we could not find a castle that 'felt like a castle' once inside. When we saw Kilmartin Castle for sale, it had been a ruin for 200 years and was in an incredibly original state. Typically, the Victorians would make the windows larger and add ugly extensions to buildings like this one. Luckily, Kilmartin Castle was overlooked and left roofless for 200 years. It was the perfect building to create the genuine Scottish castle experience we had been looking for as travellers. We quit our jobs, sold everything we owned, and moved across the world to start renovations. Work finished in 2019 and Kilmartin Castle now has 5 bedrooms that have been individually designed to provide modern-day luxury including copper tubs and wood-burning stoves, walk-in rain showers, underfloor heating, and of course, luxury linen, towels and robes! The grand hall is the heart of the castle, with a roaring fire to share stories around in the evenings. Our kitchen has been designed with sociability in mind and is a great place to cook as a group. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook up a feast and the barrel-vaulted dining room is a special place to enjoy dinner. We can also introduce you to our private chef if you would like to take the night off! The gardens and grounds were landscaped in 2021 and now include an orchard, wild swimming pond, large outdoor kitchen and glasshouse with dining table. An organic garden allows you to pick your own fruits vegetables, when in season.
Kilmartin Castle is now available for exclusive stays.
THE AREA
Kilmartin Castle sits over Kilmartin Glen, one of the most important archeological areas in Scotland. The Glen is glacial and human inhabitation dates back to the neolithic period. Standing stones are dotted around the landscape and have been here longer than the pyramids in Egypt. The local pub, serving dinner, is a traditional Scottish pub, and within walking distance of the castle.
