Carswell | Luxury Kingsize Room | Kilmartin Castle | Other in Lochgilphead
1 Bedroom Place in Kilmartin, Lochgilphead
Named after the man Kilmartin Castle was built for, John Carswell. Expect a bright and crisp room, painted with lime paint, a technique used in the 16th Century, but with some modern day luxuries like the William Holland copper bath and the walk in en suite with rain shower. The concrete basin in the en suite is set on a piece of elm from a tree fallen nearby. There is a beautiful 4 poster bed and some fabulous artworks. Carswell looks out over Kilmartin Glen from the second floor of the castle and access is via the main stone spiral staircase.
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 ofantiquefurniture and original artworks and objects that we havelovingly 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 ncluding 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 largeKamado Joe, a BBQ and a pizza oven. We grow our own organic fruits, herbs and vegetables at the castle whichyou are welcome to enjoy.We also have a wild swimming pondwhich is fantastic on a sunny day. A stone shed has becomeoutside 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 whould there be a Scottish rain shower whilst you are barbecueing.
