Ardkinglas Estate Reviews




We got married in the house, followed by canopies and champagne, then we moved out into the grounds for photographs and into the marquee we hired for the rest of our day.
Myself and my bridesmaid and mother stayed in the butlers quator the night before which was excellent very roomy and perfect for getting ready in! An added bonus is that the toilet is big enough to use even in a big dress!!!
This truly is a stunning setting, picture perfect! It will hold a place in our hearts forever! X

I had decided on Ardkinglas Estate as my wedding venue from only viewing it on the internet. (as I live in Australia I couldn’t view the property at the drop of a hat)
When my husband and myself went to visit the venue a day before the ceremony we were soooo impressed.
Mostly with the grandeur of the property, but also super impressed with Kelly who was extremely kind and accommodating.
The grounds of the property were spectacular and overlook the Loch and were wonderful for our ceremony pictures.
As we were only a small wedding, we took a advantage of the afternoon tea package supplied by the team at Ardkinglas Estate.
It was more than enough food, and added a wonderful touch to the day.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book this venue again - but hopefully I’ll never have to get married again haha

We had an absolutely amazing day at Ardkinglas on our wedding! It was the first venue we viewed and we fell in love with it right away - the views of the loch are absolutley stunning, and the surrounding flora and fauna is out of this world. I am from the local area so we used local suppliers Tents and Events for a marquee on the site, and made use of the Estate's dining room for the champagne reception. My bridesmaid's and I stayed in the 'Butlers Quarters' the night before - beautiful little cottage underneath the main house with it's own access - highly recommend! We also had use of one of the rooms inside on the morning of the wedding for hair and make up. Both Kelly the estate manager, and David, the owner, were incredibly helpful and accommodating in the run up - we had a lot of quirky requests and they were only too happy to accommodate. I'm getting a bit emotional even writing this review - it was just perfect!
