Ardmaddy Castle Holiday Cottages

Ardmaddy Castle Holiday Cottages Ardmaddy Estate sits in a quiet, gentle corner of Argyll on the west coast of Scotland. Its open spaces and magnificent views free the mind. Sound tempting?

Whilst within half an hour of the harbour town of Oban, and only three hours from Glasgow, once there, you feel as though you are in a different time and space to the rest of the world. Its quiet tranquillity and the utter peace soothe the soul and rest the senses. Surrounded by woodland, hills, moors and sea, Ardmaddy is also a haven for wildlife - from eagles soaring above the hills, to skylarks

singing their hearts out, from deer grazing on the hillsides, to otters hunting by the shore - there is so much here for you to see and experience. The Estate is also a perfect base for walking, cycling, seakayaking, sailing, bird watching, touring, or just having a rest. We are dog-friendly, too, so ideal for those of you who love to bring ALL the family. Our cottages all have open log fires for you to cosy up to at the end of the day and all are centrally heated and fully equipped to make your stay comfortable. Come on in and have a look around......

It was a heavy and gloomy sort of day, with a bit of rain to end it.  But it is still beautiful.

I had my weekly trundle around the gardens to pick flowers today - the range of colours is amazing at the moment and so well worth a slow walk around to admire the structure of the different flowers.

The peace that is Craiguillean. Eider ducks whoWHOing in their gossipy tones, the geese honking, and smaller birds singing.

The bookings for this house speak for themselves. Between now and October, there is only one week available on August 2nd.

Today was a shore cleaning day - after picking the flowers for tomorrow's turnovers - surprisingly little to actually pick up considering the storms we have had over the winter. I daresay a lot is still buried under the seaweed.

The first of May seems a good day to kick start this page again after far too much neglect. The beginning of May has also brought with it some glorious - and warm - weather. It's been a long, cold and wet winter, but nature prevails and life returns to the fields, the gardens and the people.

The weather has been dry and very cold this last week, and with it some stunning sunrises and sunsets.

It seems rather ironic that the year that sees so many more people going abroad again is the year we have such stunning weather! Indeed, some of us are finding it a bit hot :-)

SHORT BREAKS

Over the last few years, for a number of reasons, we have been unable to offer short breaks of less than seven nights. However, we are now able to offer these in Forest Cottage and The Stables for the rest of this year.

In addition, there have been some reductions in prices over all our houses, particularly in the weeks most likely to be taken by families.
