Saddell Castle

A rock-hewn sentinel on Saddell Bay’s beach and at the river’s edge, Saddell Castle has lasted since 1508, when it was built for the Bishop of Argyll.

Back then, it was described as ‘a fayre pyle and a stronge’ but from 1600 – and for the next 400 years – it was taken over and owned by the Campbells.

Completely restored by the Landmark Trust, today the four-floor building with its battlemented wall-walk on its roof can be rented for short-term holidays.

Guests pass through an ancient gateway that leads into a courtyard, push open a massive wooden door, then climb the wide spiral staircase to discover the delights of each room.
