Ardmaddy Castle Gardens: Glorious Gardens of Argyll and Bute
Ardmaddy Castle gardens, in a most spectacular setting, are shielded to the north by mature woodlands, carpeted with bluebells and daffodils and protected from the Atlantic winds by the elevated Castle. The Walled Garden is full of magnificent rhododendrons, some huge, an increasing collection of rare and unusual shrubs and plants, the 'Clock Garden' with its cutting flowers, a former coldframe now a new crevice garden, a large selection of fruit and vegetables grown with labour saving formality, all within dwarf box hedging. Beyond, a woodland walk, with its amazing hydrangea climbing to 60 feet, leads to the water gardens - in early summer a riot of candelabra primulas, irises, rodgersias and other damp-loving plants and grasses. Lovely autumn colour. An ever evolving garden for all seasons.
Accommodation:
All four of our cottages have secluded locations with enclosed gardens and all have fantastic views either over nearby islands and out to sea or over surrounding countryside. Furnished and equipped for your comfort and convenience they are intended to be a home from home – indeed many people come back year after year to “their” cottage. https://ardmaddy.com/cottages/cottages-overview/How to find us
