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.
This was our second visit to Caddleton farmhouse and we enjoyed our stay just as much. The house is in a beautiful position with wonderful views and it was a pleasure to stay there. We hope to return.
This was our 22nd Ardmaddy visit and we are either insane or just very perceptive! We discovered this beautiful place in 1998 and have been lured back time after time. A fabulous location and a comfortable cottage without it being such a "show home" you are afraid to clump in and out from muddy walks and with wet feet from the boat. (See boats for hire). The wildlife is second to none, many sightings without setting foot outside. Beautiful on a sunny day and warm and cosy on a wet one. Always spotless on arrival and well looked after by Jan and Duncan and the team. I hesitate to recommend as i...more
Lovely 2 weeks at Forrest cottage which is remote but close enough to Oban that you can have a meal out of an evening.
The cottage was spacious enough for 4 adults and 3 dogs allowing both couples to have a bathroom.
Exceptionally well equipped we cooked a Sunday roast a real treat on holiday.
Gardens around the estate were glorious - we visited at right time for azaleas and rhododendrons, but bluebells were everywhere with a glorious scent.
Jan and Paul were more than helpful but kept there visits to a minimum.
Dogs loved the garden which is secure
Hopefully we will be back next year
