Kilmartin Castle
If you want to have a luxurious vacation without the usual hassles and stress of a hotel, Kilmartin Castle is the right choice. This five-bedroom castle is privately owned and sleeps ten people.

The house has five bedrooms and was completely renovated in 2018. The original stone walls were exposed, requiring a new damp-proof course.
