  • "We stayed at the cottage for 4 nights and we were all so sad when we left!"

    It fitted two adults, a 14 year old, a 10 year old and a cocker spaniel perfectly. The cottage itself is beautiful, so cosy and comfortable. The gardens and surrounding area are AMAZING! Not to mention how helpful, kind and supportive the owners Geoff and Lynne were. They work so hard to keep the house and the garden so pristine and filled with logs for the fires, whilst offering advice about the local area. I have never visited such a beautiful area in Scotland before. We loved it so much, we are already planning when we can visit again. Thank you.

    Thanks for the fantastic review, we loved seeing you and hope we see you again. Property Owner

The property

Connel 5.3 miles.

The Cottage In The Woods is a welcoming abode on the outskirts of Taynuilt near Connel, Argyll and Bute.

An idyllic place for families or groups of friends wishing to get away from it all and relax in a rural quiet location surrounded by wildlife, wild gardens to sit and relax in with fire pits and BBQ and to explore the rural landscapes of Scotland.

Inside, the kitchen/diner offers everything you need for a self-catered stay, including a kitchen space to prepare some tasty meals, a dining area for planning the days ahead, and a sitting room to lounge around in front of the woodburning stove as the evenings grow darker.

Moving through the property, you will find three inviting bedrooms, two doubles and one single to catch a rest after a long day of exploration, whilst the bathroom invites you to get ready in style.

With woodland views all around, this cottage provides a large garden space outside to let your furry friend have a play among the lawn, or enjoy a spot of alfresco dining, and don't forget to take advantage of the fire pit under the stars.

If you can tear yourself away from your tranquil base, nearby you'll find The Glue Pot, Coasters Bar and Bistro, Grahams Grocers and Connel Village Store, all ideal for grabbing some food or local produce.

A short drive will bring you to the bustling and popular town of Oban, a perfect starting point for adventuring the Inner Hebridean islands of Mull and Rum, or grab a bite to eat on the waterfront at Piazza.

For those wanting to explore the coast, take a trip to Dunstaffnage, where you will find Dunstaffnage Castle and Chapel, Ocean Explorer Centre and Dunstaffnage Marina.

Whilst staying at the cottage, you must visit Taynuilt, a village situated on the river Nant, offering a wealth of attractions, including Taynuilt Golf Club, to get some golfing practice in, Taynuilt Community Garden Project, to seek wildlife, and Airds bay, for an afternoon stroll along the beach.

Professional foraging walks and cook-ups can usually be arranged at extra cost with adequate notice.
