Sleeping like Royalty: The Best Castle Hotels in the World
| July 14, 2017
Kilmartin Castle – Kilmartin, Scotland
Step back in time at the Kilmartin Castle, which recently opened to the public for the first time after being privately owned for 467 years. The castle was built in 1550 for the Rector of Kilmartin, but was passed on about a century later to the powerful Campbell Clan, then purchased and restored by a private owner many years later.
Guests especially enjoy the stone walls, fireplaces, and “rustic charm”, along with modern touches like sumptuous cotton linens. This castle accommodates only one party of up to six people, allowing for plenty of privacy and relaxation. From $220, you can book a four-night minimum stay on Airbnb.
