Former Castle Hotels in Argyll and Bute

Located in the picturesque Scottish countryside on the shores of Loch Creran, Barcaldine Castle is one of the few ancient castles open to the public. This impressive castle was built in 1609 by “Black” Duncan Campbell and restored in 1897. The historical decor and ambience in the rooms, the traditional tearooms, the homely atmosphere and the fascinating activities in the nearby area create the perfect fairy-tale setting for a memorable royal stay.

Τhis baronial manor house, known by the name of Barmore, was οriginally built in 1837 by the MacAlister family. It has been rebuilt ever since by various well-established Scottish architects and designers, and it also boasts an extensive garden and botanical collection. It was eventually sold and opened as a hotel in 1950, offering comfortable and luxurious accommodation, as well as a spectacular setting where guests can admire the lush Scottish greenery and the outstanding landscapes.
