The secluded and tranquil setting of Ardkinglas, approached through ancient woodland and with sweeping terraced lawns opening out onto the shores of Loch Fyne, is a hidden gem, surprisingly only an hour from Glasgow airport. A unique but affordable wedding venue on the West Coast of Scotland.

The house was built in 1907 when traditional materials were skillfully and creatively mastered by expert craftsmen and remains practically unaltered today. Still a much loved family home, the beautifully furnished reception rooms with their wonderful views of Loch Fyne are perfect as an exclusive use wedding venue and are available for hire throughout the year. We can accommodate any number of wedding guests, from 2 to 200.

For numbers from 2 - 70, you are able to use the house for your ceremony, reception drinks and photographs. You will have full use of the gardens around the house, if required. As an alternative to a ceremony in the house, you can also choose to have the ceremony outside in a marquee.



For numbers over 70 you have full use of our extensive gardens overlooking Loch Fyne. You can have your ceremony in the marquee or outside on the terrace, with the marquee as a wet weather option. The garden is the perfect setting for your marquee, tipi or whatever you decide to have for your special day.

If you wish to have a religious marriage ceremony at Ardkinglas, you can arrange for your own minister or priest to conduct a service in the house or garden. Alternatively, the local minister at Lochgoilhead is happy to receive requests to conduct the ceremony too. Also, the picturesque Kilmorich Parish Church is located just outside the Estate gates in the village of Cairndow.

For accommodation on the night of the wedding, The Butler's Quarters self catering apartment in the house, can provide for the bridal couple or for up to five guests and there are many good hotels nearby for others wishing an overnight stay.
