Property information

Garden Cottage is a charming, fully ground-floor stone cottage designed for comfort, accessibility, and flexible family living. Thoughtfully renovated with guests with limited mobility in mind, it offers easy access throughout and includes a wheelchair-friendly wet room. While often booked by couples, the cottage can host up to six—or occasionally eight—thanks to a main bedroom sleeping three, two cosy alcove sleeping areas, and a sofabed, though the recommended maximum for adults is four. Just metres from the Mill House and Old Barn, and beside a pretty tributary of the River Ruel, the cottage is frequently used as overflow accommodation but can also be enjoyed as a peaceful standalone retreat. Guests should note that its private garden space is small and indoor Wi-Fi can be patchy, as it relies on signals from neighbouring properties or mobile networks. Staying at Garden Cottage gives full access to the 22-acre Ormidale estate and its wide range of activities, including a tennis court, football pitch, sunken trampoline, bicycles, woodland walks, and a dedicated games cottage with table tennis, pool, and darts. Set under a mile from Loch Riddon in the Kyles of Bute, it’s perfectly placed for walking, cycling, sailing, swimming, fishing, riding, and golf, with abundant wildlife and spectacular night skies. Located in Glendaruel on the Cowal peninsula, the cottage sits amid stunning coastal and woodland scenery yet remains close to Dunoon, Rothesay, Inveraray, Loch Lomond, and ferry links to Bute, Tarbert, and the islands beyond—an ideal base for exploring the beauty of western Scotland.
