Forest Cottage - SRY

About this property

Forest Cottage is surrounded by a renowned area full of rich wildlife, from deers, otters and eagles.. "Stunning locations in breathtaking scenery..."

In a magnificent setting by the sea, Ardmaddy Castle sits in its own bay with unrivalled views over Seil Sound and the world famous local Slate Islands, designated one of Scotland’s National Scenic Areas. Graded ‘4 Star’ by the Scottish Tourist Board, these four cottages (SBZ, SRW and SRY) and Caddleton Farmhouse (UNP) are set in secluded, peaceful locations around the estate and offer an ideal base for exploring this stunning part of the West Coast of Scotland.

Forest Cottage (SRY) has been prepared to Visit Scotland ‘4 Star’ standard. This spacious, single-storey cottage nestles just below the castle and overlooks a grazing field leading to Ardmaddy Bay. The living room is spacious, comfy, light and cosy, and the large sun porch overlooks the sea.

The castle’s spectacular gardens are open all year round through Scotland’s Gardens Scheme and are a delight for gardening enthusiasts. The area is renowned for its abundant wildlife with porpoise, dolphins, basking sharks, otters, deer, eagles and wealth of seabirds often seen. Sailing, rowing and motor boats are all available for guests to hire, and there is free fishing on Ardmaddy’s stocked hill loch. Guests can also use the castle’s tennis court.
