“The Knowe lower was a clean property, however the bathroom is in definite need of a makeover.”

The property was comfortable, however there were young children in the upper property, and on hard floors it was quite noisy at times. We were also disappointed to find that the village pub described in the property information as within walking distance is currently shut and the nearest pub where dogs are welcome is 9 miles away.

“The owner was very welcoming and apologetic that there were no soft furnishings due to the corona virus, that was quite understandable but did not really matter too much as we enjoyed the holiday immensely.”

Would certainly recommend the property as it is in a lovely setting and in a quiet location

“Lovely Accomodation”

Just arrived back home from the lower Knowe in Taynuilt.It was a lovely flat and spotlessly clean.The garden was large and great for kids, dogs and adults. The owner was so friendly and helpful and lived nest to the house so easy to reach if needed. It was right in the centre of a lovely village with a few shops and located on Loch Etive within walking distance a two piers for fishing a short distance apart and beautiful views both ways down the loch. Oban is a short drive and Inveraray with its beautiful castle and numerous gift shops is 40 mins away. Glen Coe and Fort William are also an easy good day out from here. The weather was not good for us but we had a great time and will definitely book the Knowe again and recommend it to others.

“Pet friendly and very central to village centre.”

Lovely stone house just off the main road. Parking and garden yet so close to all the facilities. Great for the family and dog too. Friendly owners as well.

“We arrived at Knowe Lower after a long drive up from North Wales so we were really pleased to find everything we needed for a very pleasant welcome - tea, coffee, milk, tea cakes and even a bottle of wine.”

The cottage was clean and comfortable with fresh bedding and lovely fluffy towels. We were also situated a few steps from the village centre shops - grocers, butchers and post office - all offering excellent service. The cottage garden was secluded and restful - especially after a day exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. I hope we will come back one day.

“The property was ideal, probably the best we have stayed in.”

Unfortunately the weather wasn't very good so we couldn't make use of the amazing garden, but our dog enjoyed running around it each mornImg, the only criticism was the area hasn't got many eating places without having to travel a few miles.

- Mrs Siddell, June 2019
“The Welcome goodies were unexpected and a lovely surprise.”

The accommodation was spotless and well-equipped, and the garden was a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the sunshine. The owner visited to introduce himself and make sure we had everything we needed, and it was nice to have local shops and The Taynuilt Inn so close to the property. We will definitely book again for next year!

- Mrs Jude, June 2019
“The accommodation was very well furnished with tasteful decor and our score for comfort would have been much higher if we had found the mattress on the double bed suited us better.”

Unfortunately, we could feel the springs and it was too firm and unforgiving for our elderly bones! A mattress topper would have made all the difference. Sadly, this spoilt what would have otherwise been excellent accommodation and we really appreciated the warm friendly welcome and welcome pack.

- Mrs Tomkins, May 2019
“Very comfortable everything you could require.”

“excellent”

Booked this accommodation to spend Hogmanay with family in Taynuilt. I honestly cant recommend enough, it is exactly as described, Its warm, clean and everything you could possibly need is supplied. Even down to some baking equipment .Spacious enough for our wee grandson to move around. Was also pleased that a welcome pack containing milk tea coffee sugar and tea cakes had been left but the extra touch of prosecco and biscuits was lovely. The location in village is brilliant, although we didn't do much touring only a trip into Oban I can see how it would be a great base for people to explore. I will definitely be booking again and recommending to other family members. Many thanks Iain

“I can and would recommend both Sykes cottage but also the wonderful accommodation The Knowe Lower in Taynuilt which we rented.”

Sykes Holiday Cottage site was easy to use. I found the accommodation in the area that we wanted. Booked and paid for it on line. We than received confirmation emails, and details for making contact with the house owner to pick up key. On arrival we were delighted with everything, the location in the village, the house was just as described it was clean, warm and spacious, everything we needed was there, pleased to even find baking bowls etc. We were also so touched at the welcome pack - milk, tea , sugar and the extra touch prosecco and shortbread. Many thanks to Iain the owner, we were using house as a base to stay in for new year, whilst spending time with family in village over new year, but it is an ideal location for people wanting to see the surrounding area. Will definitely use again.

“Lovely apartment , very dog friendly with beautiful walks straight from your door”

Had a lovely one week stay at the Lower Knowe. It is an ideal base for sight seeing with beautiful walks straight from the cottage to Loch Etive and Aird's bay. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go back !

“Incredible Hosts”

Stayed here for my mum's 60th as The Knowe has some wonderful family connections for us. The owners were wonderful and even brought Mum balloons on her birthday. Would recommend a picnic by the Loch, about a half hr walk away, stunning views. The local butcher is excellent and we enjoyed a BBQ in the garden.
