Mill House is designed for large groups seeking both generous space and shared moments, making it ideal for celebrations, multi-family trips, reunions, and milestone events. Its centrepiece is a dramatic 75m² open-plan living and reception area—a soaring, double-height space that brings together a contemporary kitchen, elegant dining area, and expansive lounge. Capable of hosting a wedding ceremony for 125 guests, it’s a social hub that effortlessly accommodates big gatherings. Two additional reception rooms open onto private riverside gardens, offering peaceful spots to relax, while a dedicated children’s playroom with Sky TV ensures easy entertainment for younger guests. A mezzanine lounge above the kitchen leads to a sunny patio complete with BBQ and a seven-person hot tub overlooking tranquil woodland. Upstairs, nine flexible bedrooms comfortably host families and groups, with double, twin, and triple arrangements and three large bathrooms. Most bedrooms include private basins, and the house typically accommodates around 14 adults plus 8 children, with room for adjustment. Set within the wider Ormidale estate, guests have access to a wealth of activities: a tennis court, football pitch, sunken trampoline, bikes, a games cottage, and acres of woodland. The estate’s location near the top of Loch Riddon in the Kyles of Bute offers outstanding scenery and opportunities for walking, cycling, swimming, sailing, fishing, riding, and golf. Wildlife is abundant, and the night skies are exceptional. Situated in Glendaruel on the Cowal peninsula, Mill House enjoys a stunning landscape of wooded hills, lochs, beaches, islands, and open countryside, with easy access to Dunoon, Rothesay, Inveraray, Loch Lomond, and ferry links to Bute, Tarbert, and the islands beyond.
