Ormidale House has been described as “probably
the best party house in Scotland.” We
certainly want it to be the best house party house available to
let in the West of Scotland. The dining hall will seat 24 in style
and comfort, and the rest of the house lends itself ideally to big
groups for family celebrations, anniversaries, corporate bonding
sessions, whatever.
 Our
aim is to make it as luxurious a place to stay as the nicest small
hotel, but at a fraction of the cost and without any of the formality
you’ll find in a hotel… and of course with the option
of being completely self catering if that’s what you want.
It’s not got the grandeur or intimidating historic atmosphere
of a castle or a stately home proper, but as some of our first guests
have said, that makes it a very comfortable place to be at home
in - even with 30 people.
It's a work in progress as well as a labour of love and we are
not at the genuinely luxurious 5 star stage we want to be with it
in time. We are getting there. No web-site will do the house, the
gardens, or the surrounding area justice, but at least this gives
you a flavour. We’ve only had Ormidale since November 2005
and we’re doing wee improvements and upgrades every week,
so the photos are already out of date, but at least you can get
an idea of how the house works – the “virtual tour”
probably gives the best impressions you can get.
Ormidale attracted over fifty weekend, mid-week or week-long bookings
in each of its first two years. By summer 2008 we'll have completed
the renovations on The Mill House (sleeping 20) and The Old Barn
(sleeping 16) which sit by the river about 100 yards behind the
main house, and also of the swimming pool which all three houses
will share. Have a look at the Development
page for more details and floor plans.
We hope we'll be able to accommodate you soon at one of the three
houses If you have any queries, feel free to call us on 07765 007798.
Thanks for visiting the site; we hope you’ll be able to visit
our house and enjoy some of Argyll’s splendour before too
long.
