“I would like to say that the owners of the cottage were welcoming and friendly and they had thoughtfully supplied a welcome pack which included tea ,coffee ,tea cakes ,milk in the fridge and a much appreciated bottle of prosecco Everyone that we Met in the village were also chatty and friendly.”

The local shop had everything that you could require .There is also a local post office and a very nice tea room. But unfortunately we did have some problems which we found to be very disappointing.On arrival we discovered that the gas fire didn’t work but the issue was resolved very speedily and the gas fitter arrived on the Sunday morning and fixed it.We found the beds very hard and uncomfortable,there was a lot of mould in the bathroom and the kitchen cupboards housing the cutlery and other cooking utensils smelt dreadfully of mould and damp.We did point this out to the owner so hopefully something will be done to rectify it but it was very off putting in fact the smell was so overpowering every time you opened the doors that I ended up leaving the things that I used out on the table after I had washed everything before use. As this was my first experience of your holiday facilities I did find it overall disappointing.

“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 !

“The Knowe Lower was very comfortable and had everything we needed.”

It was very clean and well presented and in an ideal setting with a lovely garden. The village itself was very useful with its ameneties and Grahams the Grocers had everything you could ever need and open long hours. All in all a very good holiday and The welcome gift of Prosecco, milk rea and coffee was very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

“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.”

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.

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.
