Ardmaddy Estate sits in a quiet, gentle corner of Argyll on the west coast of Scotland. 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 tranquility and the utter peace soothes the soul and rest the senses. Its open spaces and magnificent views free the mind. Surrounded by woodland, hills, moors and the sea, Ardmaddy is also a haven for wildlife – from eagles soaring above the hills, to skylarks singing their hearts out and from deer grazing on the hillsides to otters hunting by the shore – there is so much here for you to see and experience.
Excellent place to spend a couple of weeks. The house was really exceptional and very well equipped and the area could not have been better.
All our party would recommend Caddleton to anyone without reservation.
This was our second visit to Craiguillean and I booked again for Easter 2026 before we left. If you are looking for peace and quiet and to take in the nature around you then this is perfect. We saw eagles, seals and sea otters, and just had the most relaxing time. Great for the dogs, walks from the door. The cottage is really comfortable, so much natural light is fabulous, warm and well maintained.
Oban is 30 mins drive for supermarket supplies and we had a 50 minute drive south to Kilmartin to take in the sights there. Cottage manager Jan is lovely and there for any needs.
A really well set out comfortable cottage with great secure garden. Super dog friendly. Wonderful views and amazing gardens and grounds for walking or just relaxing. Quiet location, but very accessible for Oban, trips to Mull and touring Argyll and Bute.
Absolutely stunning location and lots to do literally from the doorstep. The house was exceptionally comfortable and perfectly clean for our arrival. Everything you could need in the kitchen.
