“The property is absolutely gorgeous, stunning views from every window, immaculately clean and well equipped.”

We spent a week exploring the area - lots of hikes and bike rides (due to COVID-19 not many places open). Will definitely book here again! So peaceful and serene, the owner was lovely and so helpful. We can not fault this in any way whatsoever, absolutely made our holiday staying somewhere so beautiful

“Fantastic holiday flat”

I don't want to go home from this wee flat in Taynuilt. Have absolutely loved my stay here. Fully equipped, comfy and cosy flat with a large pretty garden which has a bbq. Welcoming bottle of prosecco, tea/coffee biscuits and milk in fridge. There is an ample shop called Graeme's Grocers straight across rd. Lovely shopkeeper who will get you what you need if he doesn't already have it. There is a beautiful walk to the pier with gorgeous views. The train station is on your doorstep if you want to leave the car. We went 2 stops for a drink in the Ben Cruachan Inn at Loch Awe. Gorgeous scenery on journey. I would come back here again in a hearbeat. Thanks so much to the owners Iain and Shirli...the bottle of fizz was a lovely touch and went down a treat. Alison Jim and family.

“Fantastic quality accommodation, with nice touches of attention to detail.”

Ideal base for great hill walking. The Knowle Upper was very spacious, owners clearly take pride in the building, really couldn't fault it. Would highly recommend, very reasonably priced.

“Perfect choice for our stay”

The apartment was very comfortable, clean, well equipped and, importantly in a March cold snap, warm! It has a lovely view of the mountains around the loch. Taynuilt is a friendly village with excellent small shops covering all the essentials, and a nice tea room which opens 4 days a week. It’s an excellent base for exploring Oban, the west coast, the central highlands and Glencoe. There is a good selection of eating places in the area, including several which welcome dogs. I have no hesitation in recommending The Knowe Upper.

Knowe Cottages

These two cottages are located in a secluded spot next to the owner's home, just off the main street through Taynuilt. These two cottages share a spacious garden where you can relax and plan your day with the relaxing sound of the passing stream in the background. Each has been thoughtfully decorated and can sleep four people, and eight when booked together. The village centre is a few yards’ stroll away and here you will find a tea room, a butcher and a Post Office and store. There is so much to see and do around Taynuilt, whether it’s exploring the hills and mountains of this beautiful part of Scotland, fishing in one of the superb freshwater and seawater lochs or exploring ancient castles and archaeological sites. Why not visit Oban and take a boat trip to one of the many islands just off the coast or visit Ben Cruachan Power Station and take a venture inside a hollow mountain to visit the hydroelectric turbines? There is something for everyone around these delightful cottages, with a range of castles, mountain walks, golfing and fishing.
