Welcome to Ballimore Farm Estate

Our Family run Scottish Country Retreat within a working Farm in Argyll

 

We understand how important it is to spend quality time with your loved ones, family and friends and we strive to provide the ideal peaceful environment to do exactly that and provide our guests with a home away from home!

Ballimore Farm Estate provides comfortable accommodation with plenty of outdoor space for groups at the Farm House and Cottage.

Since 2008 Ballimore Farm Estate has been brought back to being a working farm with sheep, highland cows and a handful of free range chicken. We have established our self-catering holiday lets hosting a large number of groups coming together for family re-unions, anniversary and birthday celebrations and hosted a couple of small intimate weddings.

lodge

The Farm Lodge

The Lodge lies within the grounds of the garden but enjoys a tucked out of view position with a small orchard and vegetable patch. This is where we live as a family and from where we run the farm. We are on hand for our guests if any questions may arise or help is needed. Our free roaming chickens and dogs share the garden, whereas most sheep live in the surrounding fields with our highland cows.

Imagine…

waking up to the view of snow topped mountains, sunlight glinting off the Loch and Highland cows emerging out of the low lying mist in the paddocks…

…this beautiful Scottish country retreat sits in thousands of acres of glorious landscape in Argyll at the West Coast of Scotland, with a 3700ft munro as its impressive backdrop.
