Landmark Trust

Forget the doom and gloom for a while and book a weekend, special event or family holiday at one of the UK’s most beautiful buildings.

Saddell Castle, Kintyre, Argyll and Bute
Described as ‘a fayre pyle, and a stronge’ when it was built in 1508, Saddell Castle then fell into the hands of the Campbells who held it for nearly 400 years. It is a tower house with a battlemented wall-walk round the roof. Some rooms have panelling or decorated ceilings, others deep recesses in the thickness of the wall. The floor inside the front door is removable so that unwelcome visitors can fall straight into a pit below. The castle sits at the centre of Saddell Bay on the edge of the sandy beach.

Available to rent for holidays for up to 8 people throughout the year from the building preservation charity; the Landmark Trust.

Prices start from £488 based on 4 nights starting on Monday.

Full details of Landmark's historic buildings are featured in the Landmark Trust handbook (price £10 refundable against first booking) from the Landmark Trust 01628 825925 or www.landmarktrust.org.uk
