The Garden Cottage is on the historic Argyll Estate and is a recently renovated holiday home perfect for a group of friends and family. It is available to book on its own or as additional accommodation when renting another of our Ormidale properties.

Sitting in the same courtyard as The Mill House and the Old Barn, it is a lovely old stone cottage with a slate roof. The waxed oak floor throughout gives a warmth and a touch of authenticity; the bathroom is travertine tiled in a wet-room style and is the same finish and look as the rest of the estate.

It is a luxurious and spacious two person cottage, but we have used the space to try and create as much flexibility as possible in the accommodation provided. With one proper bedroom, plus convertible sitting room and two additional box-style bunk spaces (one off the bed-sitting room, and one just opposite the bathroom) you could accommodate 8 or 9 guests.

The whole space is on the same ground floor level, and is designed to be as accessible as possible for people of limited mobility.

Although just an hour and a half from Glasgow, Ormidale sits in some of the loveliest scenery in Scotland. The Kyles of Bute are renowned amongst both walkers and sailors as amongst the most stunning bits of coast in Scotland. Whatever the weather in Argyll – and we do enjoy a remarkably mild micro-climate - this is great country for site seeing, with every corner revealing a new variation on the theme of mountain, loch, valley, sky, woodland, sea, rock, beach. The Cowal peninsula is a fabulous base for an active holiday with marvelous wildlife, numerous gardens and other tourist attractions to visit, and all sporting activities catered for.

Ormidale has grounds of 23 acres, and sits about a mile above the head of Loch Riddon, enjoying complete privacy and lovely views down the glen to the river Ruel. The Island of Bute itself is as little as 15 minutes away from the house – accessed via a ferry from Colintraive – and was a “must visit” destination long before Stella McCartney got married there or former racing driver Johnnie Dumfries moved into Mount Stuart House as the new Marquess of Bute.
