Finest Retreats - Ormidale House | House in Glendaruel
13 Bedroom House in Colintraive, Glendaruel
Just 90 minutes from Glasgow yet surrounded by spectacular West Coast scenery, Ormidale House is available for up to 36 guests across 13 bedrooms, 6 grand reception rooms and 10 bathrooms. Beautifully furnished—largely with antiques and collectables chosen for their robust charm rather than intimidating delicacy—it offers an elegant setting where guests of all ages can unwind without worry.
Ideal for family gatherings, corporate parties, intimate weddings, milestone celebrations, and reunions of every kind, Ormidale House can also be combined with the neighbouring Mill House, Old Barn, and Garden Cottage for even larger groups. The estate as a whole has 31 bedrooms.
Entertainment and relaxation options abound. The facilities include a large private sauna, seven-seater hot tub, full-size billiard room (with snooker table, table football, air hockey, chess and darts) a tennis court, croquet lawn, sunken trampoline, a dozen shared bikes, six sets of golf clubs, a football pitch, two outdoor table tennis tables, and a scruffy Games Cottage with pool table, ping pong and darts boards. There are over twenty acres of grounds to ensure that guests of all ages have space to play, explore, and unwind. Wildlife lovers will relish sightings of deer and red squirrels, and with virtually no light pollution, the night skies are nothing short of spectacular.
Pets and children are warmly welcome. The dining hall, drawing room with its baby grand piano and open fire, and the billiard room provide splendid settings for fine dining and classic country living, befitting a home originally built for members of the Duke of Argyll's family. The drawing room can seat at least twenty guests in comfort, while the dining table can just about accommodate twenty-four. There are two TV rooms with full Sky TV, and a playroom for kids with one of the world's largest dolls houses!
Upstairs, the generously sized bedrooms have been arranged to offer maximum flexibility. Three rooms are king-size doubles; one is a quadruple bunk room; another is set with three single beds; and there is a family bunk room that sleeps up to six. The remaining seven bedrooms can all be configured either as super-king doubles or as twins, and in some cases even as triples. All but the two bunk bedrooms have either an ensuite bathroom or a wash-hand basin, and the house includes four additional bathrooms and two separate WCs.
There is plenty to keep adults, teenagers, and children active on the 22 acres estate, including a tennis court, a football pitch, a sunken trampoline, a range of bicycles, and acres of woodland to explore. The estate sits less than a mile from the top of Loch Riddon in the Kyles of Bute, surrounded by year-round gorgeous scenery and a perfect base for walking, cycling, swimming, sailing, fishing, riding, stalking, and golf. A huge variety of birdlife, red squirrels and deer are amongst your fellow residents, and the night skies are utterly spectacular.
Ormidale, in Glendaruel on the Cowal peninsula, is a stunningly beautiful coastal area with wooded hills, beaches, lochs, islands and open countryside. The location is perfect for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities or just exploring the wild natural landscape, but still gives easy access to the nearby historic towns of Dunoon, Rothesay, and Inverary. Loch Lomond is a stunning 35 minute drive away. The adjacent village of Colintraive provides quick ferry access to the Isle of Bute, while the ferries from Portavadie will take you across to Tarbert, the Mull of Kintyre, Campbeltown and the islands beyond.
