Lovely comfortable accommodation with stunning views .The perfect place to just be, take in nature and watch the changing landscape. Cottage was well equipped , we wanted for nothing & the welcome items for us & Hugo ( dog) were a nice touch.Perfect enclosed garden for elderly dog and walks into the garden daily were a delight Fishing challenging due to the weather but caught well, brown & sea trout .Local shop well stocked and friendly and the addition of new cafe at the estate will be a welcome addition when we next visit.
Over the years, Rose Cottage and its surroundings have always met and often exceeded our expectations, and this year was no different. The estate staff without exception are always friendly and accommodating and this time faced with the extreme challenges of Storm Amy they excelled themselves in looking after us. The wildlife and the fishing are both outstanding.
Enjoyed the stay. Well equipped with everything you need away from home. Very warm, useful drying area. Great outlook, birds, sea otters on doorstep. Great walks. Easy access paths. Very relaxing.
Although the accommodation was clean there were a few issues which were - the fridge or freezer was very noisy the wall heater in the bathroom did not work the hot tap in the bathroom was loose and pointed to the outside of the basin the batteries in the handsets were flat and had to be swapped about to work the internet was off from Sunday afternoon and did not come back on during our stay. This was irritating as we had no phone or television. According to the Office staff this is a known, on-going problem with Vodafone. on our last night there were people in the bunkhouse and, al...more
We stayed in the Nursery Flat as part of a big group who had use of the whole house. The Nursery Flat was really well equipped, cosy, warm and tucked away so nice and quiet too. The big bath and gushing hot water was such a treat. Would highly recommend this flat either on its own or part of a bigger group.
We took the South Wing and 3 other apartments for a large group stay and it was perfect - we loved the huge rooms, baths that filled with piping hot water in a matter of seconds and the incredible views. Despite the scale the apartment felt cosy and lived-in with the many log fires adding to the charm. Such a special place with beautiful walks, biking, fishing and paddle boarding; we highly recommend it.
The addition of the Coal Shed Cafe is a great bonus - lovely people and great food. As if we needed any more reasons to visit Ardtornish. A great shame about all the trees that fell during storm Amy, but the gardeners are doing a sterling job clearing up.
We stayed as a large group of 30 people at Ardtornish estate and we hade the most fantastic experience. The place is ideal for large gatherings, however the individual flats are also perfect for smaller groups or family. The facilities are excellent, the location stunning and the experience to live in a castle is unforgettable. We will be back! Thanks for the amazing service.
I was staying at Craigendarroch during Storm Amy. I have holidayed there on several occasions, but none like this visit! All power was lost with the onset of the storm. Fortunately, with the provision of a woodburning stove, we could cook and keep warm. The staff at Ardtornish were regularly keeping us informed and checking on our welfare, providing extra logs for the stove and candles to illuminate at night. Congratulations to all personnel for their assistance. I have been visiting Ardtornish for 40 years and even the storm could not diminish the beauty and tranquility of the estate. The aut...more
Everything about our stay has been just lovely, even the weather obliged. We’ve been coming up to Ardtornish since the children were little (as Cowling - divorce) and the team here have managed to modernise without losing the special, Ardtornish, character. We appreciated the convenience of the estate ‘ready meals’ but otherwise being left in peace. Many thanks.
Had an amazing week at this cottage everything you need for a great stay, ( hubby says a teapot would be good though lol ). Watching the Pine Martens every night was a bonus. Great walks on the estate , lovely friendly staff in the Coal House Cafe a great food, will definitely be back next year.
Another perfect visit to Ardtornish. The flat and the surroundings are gorgeous, and the staff ever friendly and welcoming. Great to be in a place where the solid craftsmanship of a previous century is still serving it's purpose beautifully.
Stunning location, perfect for wildlife watching, lots of walks of different lengths to cater for all. All staff always happy to help, friendly and accommodating. Cottage well equipped with all you need. Coal shed cafe has just opened and is amazing for food .
