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.

Forest Cottage is warm, clean, well equipped and in a fabulous location.
The Ardmaddy estate is beautiful and peaceful, with stunning views and walks and wildlife.

The dogs love it and there is a bag of towels/covers for their use plus toys. The peace and tranquility are restorative, it’s isolated but not too far from Oban. On arrival there is a tray laid for tea with delicious biscuits. The wa...more
