Part of Ardmaddy Castle, Craiguillean has been awarded ’4 Star’ accommodation by the Scottish Tourist Board.. "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.
Reached via an unmetalled road and gloriously situated at the water’s edge, Craiguillean (SRW) is a traditional property which has its own mooring and jetty overlooking Seil Island. This stone built, single storey cottage was originally a ferryman’s cottage but has been modernised and extended to provide spacious and comfortable accommodation to Visit Scotland 4 star standard. The large sitting room/dining room is spacious and 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 a 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.
