“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 !

“Very comfortable and clean ...”

Very comfortable and clean property. The owners live next door if you need to know anything. Also all the shops we went into in Taynuilt village were only too pleased to see you and were very friendly and they didn't charge exorbitant prices. The actual area is absolutely beautiful. When we went to Oban on the Sunday the sun was shining brightly and it was so bright and colourful everywhere with the CalMac boats going off to the Islands. Word of warning - book in advance if you want to go to Mull. We had various days out up and down the coast and the scenery is simply breathtaking. Also made a nostalgic trip to Inveraray which my late Mum had loved so much.

“Holiday at Lower Knowe was amazing.”

Holiday at Lower Knowe was amazing. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The owners had left us a bottle of Prosecco and also fresh milk, tea, coffee and sugar. Facilities were great, couldn't get over how much room there was, we felt right at home. Cottage was very clean and tidy and very cosy. Village is amazing, all you need right on the doorstep and the people who live there were so welcoming. Ian and Shirley, the owners were great, we just had to phone if we needed anything, but everything was there so we didn't have to phone. Our 2 dogs loved their holiday too, they settled in to cottage no problem and enjoyed all the lovely walks close by. Easy travelling distance to Oban, which was a definite plus for us.

“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.

The Knowe(lower) felt like a home from home for the week we spent there. It's really cozy and comfortable and had all the essentials needed for our family of 4. Iain was very welcoming and helpful and we were really impressed upon arrival to find a bottle of fizz waiting for us. Would definitely recommend and return again.

We'd a wonderful week in the cottage with our family. We enjoyed the warm welcome. We also got a welcoming dring and some milk for our first coffee in the accomodation. Many thanks for this! We'd several days out in the beautiful landscape. One of the most exiting and breathtaking trip we ever had was on Iona! The weather was brilliant and we could feel the special spirit and peace at this amazing island. We also can recommend a walk down to Loch Etive, the Bonawe Iron Fernance and to the smokehouse at the Inverawe House. On the way there is a distinctive suspension bridge that spans the River Awe. You should not miss this walk. Thank you for a beautiful and unforgettable week of our holiday. The Bertels Family from North Germany.

Knowe Cottages

These two cottages are located in a secluded spot next to the owner's home, just off the main street through Taynuilt.

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?
