| Summer
is well and truly here
and very pleasant it is, warmer, dryer and less midge than usual.
We have had a very busy year so far with very little availability
in July and August, but there are opportunities for holidays in
September and October and remember our cottages are open all year
round. Ardtornish is beautiful in Autumn – the colours, the
light, the air and few bugs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Our
Prices and Availability Page is avaible online please email
us for details. 2010 prices and availability will soon be shown.
There is still availability for Christmas and New Year. |

The
televisions
are now installed and working in all of our properties except the
Boat House and remember, if you don’t want television during
your holiday, just let us know and we will remove it before you
arrive. Washing machines are now in all of our properties. |

for 2010
are now being taken. Please reserve your 2010 visit sooner rather

does not affect our ‘regular, regular’ visitors whose
weeks and properties will continue to be automatically reserved
for them. |

now and pay no deposit until January 2010. |

| This
year’s weddings at Ardtornish
have been hugely successful. Neil and Eda in November, Simon and
Jeanette in March and Ben and Sophie in May – all very enjoyable
events and a great privilege for us at Ardtornish to help make these
very special occasions the great days they were. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| We hope to set aside 2 weekends in June for weddings in 2010. If you would like a mid-summer wedding at Ardtornish, please don’t delay contacting us. Catering for all of our functions is offered by Whitehouse Catering of Whitehouse Restaurant fame. See: www.thewhitehouserestaurant.co.uk for more information. |
