Ormidale House is a fantastic venue if you are looking to host a family get together, a friends reunion, a conference, or even a wedding.

The surrounding forests are perfect for a game of hide and seek, a leisurely walk or picnic. Keen walkers can venture just a little further afield to the Arrochar Alps where you will find a range of rugged and challenging peaks to climb. Alternatively, head south and enjoy exploring some of the beautiful islands and famous lochs of the Cowal Peninsula. Other activities and attractions include sailing at Tighnabruaich, visiting the Benmore Botanic Garden or the Arrochar Alps gin distillery.

There is plenty to see and do on the stunning Cowal Peninsula but many guests find it hard to tear themselves too far away from 'home' at Ormidale House.
