Conference Centre

We have recently completed the refurbishment of the The Somerled Rooms and are now taking bookings for conferences and wedding receptions.

The Somerled Rooms at Armadale Castle provides a unique venue for your Conference.

Housed in the original building of Armadale Castle, circa 1790, and within the setting of a 40 acre garden, this small conference centre provides a sense of the cultural heritage of the Highlands whilst incorporating the up to date facilities required for a Conference.

The Centre comprises of a comfortable oak-panelled drawing room, a fifty seater theatre and two meeting rooms, Seomar Oir & Aes Dana, seating sixty and twenty respectively.  Exclusive use of this facility or private hire of the individual rooms is possible with the rooms set around a private courtyard.

Whether you are looking for a light sandwich lunch or buffet, we will meet your requirements with tea and coffee available throughout the day.  The Stables Restaurant will provide an evening meal with choices from a varied menu for your group.










Allow us to programme a conference for you, which could include accommodation in our four star self catering cottages, outdoor pursuits, and after your conference meetings, an evening meal in our elegant Stables Restaurant followed by a traditional ceilidh.  The participants, now refreshed, will be inspired as they return to their place of work.

The venue can be hired as a Gallery for Exhibitions, Meeting Rooms, Training Days or as a location for Team Building events.

A wide range of modern facilities are available in the most spectacular setting you can imagine.

Please contact us for more information on the venue and for rates.
