Caddleton Farmhouse

Address: Ardmaddy Castle Holiday Cottages, Ardmaddy, Oban, Argyll & Bute, ObanPA34 4QY, United Kingdom

Once you get to Oban, you need to take the A816 south toward Lochgilphead and Campbeltown. About eight miles out of town there is a right turn on to the B844 for Easdale, Seil and Luing. Follow this road for about 5 miles – it seems you are going to nowhere, but don't worry. The road then takes a sharp right over a little bridge, but the Ardmaddy road goes straight on – there is a yellow sign that says “Garden Open” – take this smaller road. We ask that you drive slowly and with care on the road down to Ardmaddy. There are children, dogs, ponies, walkers, cyclists, pheasants, deer, sheep, cattle and often a combination of many of these. There are also many blind corners. A dog was killed recently, and there have been one or two head-on collisions or near misses caused by excessive speed. It is a narrow and bendy road – please drive appropriately. Ardmaddy is a beautiful place, slow down, enjoy it and you will see more. After about a mile, the road takes a sharp right bend through the Estate gates. Keep following the road down the hill and keep going straight ahead until you reach a small cattle grid. Go over the cattle grid and follow the metalled track round to the left – as you go round the bend you will see two houses – Caddleton is the nearest one. If you approach the house from the left this allows for more parking and manoeuvring space, but if it is raining, you may prefer to approach from the right as there is a covered car port which will enable you to unload in the dry, although there is only room for one car in the sheltered part.
