What is recorded here

Stonefield Estate and Stonefield Castle Hotel occupy the same ground in Argyll and Bute, first as a 19th-century country house and later as a 20th-century hotel. The change from private residence to public lodging suggests rooms that stopped belonging to one family and began holding strangers, memories and temporary lives. That shift is the interesting part: a house becomes a castle hotel when it starts giving shelter instead of displaying ownership.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Stonefield Estate, Stonefield Castle Hotel as Country House (19th Century), Hotel (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Stonefield Castle Hotel, originally a 19th-century country house, was later converted into a hotel in the 20th century; it is remembered for its historic estate setting and architectural evolution.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
