Ormidale House sleeps 24-31

Fun times in the wow factory

If Ormidale House had ears, glee would be coming out of them. There's fun to be had here in amazing Argyllshire – in the heated indoor pool, the 22 acres of grounds, the games cottage, the hot tubs and Jacuzzi, and on the tennis court. Real party spirit infuses this four-building palace. A labour of love for the owners, 'the wow factory' to its first guests, Ormidale is big without being formal, grand without being stuffy and luxurious without losing comfort. And the toys never end – there's a billiard room, Sky Plus TV room/snug, playroom with air hockey and table tennis, football pitch, WiFi, bouncy castle and 20 acres of woodland that scan the glen.

Want a bigger playground? Argyll and the islands, with their walking, whisky and wildlife, lie enticingly beyond.
