Isle of Skye Accommodation at Armadale Castle and Gardens

Our accommodation here on the Isle of Skye offers six self-catering cabins, one heritage apartment and one estate cottage all situated within the wooded policies of Armadale Castle grounds. Our cosy, well-equipped four-star properties draw guests back time and again and are perfect for group bookings. Wake up to witness sunrise over the mountains of Knoydart, and watch local creel boats fishing in the Sound of Sleat. White-tailed eagles glide overhead, while native red deer graze in the fields nearby. You can spend your day wandering in our famous gardens and surrounding woodlands, visit the local grocery shop to pick up fresh supplies, and take an evening stroll to the pub for a supper of incredible food.

With recently refurbished interiors and ideal location near Armadale Pier, our properties are perfect for couples, families and groups. Many of our properties are also dog friendly, and our wider estate is available for extended walks. A wonderful place to restore wellbeing, Armadale welcomes short breaks and longer stays throughout the year. Read more about the properties below.
