Staying at The Knowe Upper - the best decision ever!
! This is a totally fabulous property - ultra, ultra clean, comfortable, very warm, welcoming, bright, spacious and the very best of facilities and fixtures. It is also easy to ventilate - lovely new windows which open any way you want them to. Perfect, whether during a very cold winter or a warm summer. It really is in an ideal location, right in the centre of Taynuilt village, but tucked away from traffic and very quiet. A very friendly village, there are plenty amenities around - a fantastic tea-room - The Robin 's Nest - a must for visiting - as well as a butcher, PO / shop, hairdresser, craft-shop and a very well-stocked food store, which is open early to late. All are a minute 's walk from the property. The train station is a couple of minutes away - no noise - and buses also stop nearby. You don 't actually see or hear them, but they are there! The Knowe is perfectly situated for trips to Oban, Mull, Lismore and for trips north and south, in the Argyll area. The owners are very welcoming indeed, very friendly and helpful and genuinely want those who stay at The Knowe to have a good holiday and all to be right for them. The beds are super comfy, there is a lot of storage and the bathroom is also spacious and totally pristine. Plenty hot water too. The kitchen is beautiful, super clean, with plenty crockery and utensils and all very good quality. It is also easy to keep clean and everything is just like it 's totally new - it 's like you are using it for the very first time! It is obvious that the owners refurbish regularly and really keep very high standards. I would totally recommend The Knowe Upper as a truly outstanding property, for a holiday in Argyll - I am very sure you would certainly not be at all disappointed. I 'm already looking forward to making a return visit - and it may very well not just be one visit - I should probably say visits!! Many thanks indeed to Iain and Shirli :) We really had a great time!!

Top Flat Tighnabruaich.
The view is absolutely amazing, looking across the loch to the Isle of Bute, is breath taking every morning. We had a wonderful stay at the flat. The flat contained everything you would require. End of the holiday season so it looked tired and used in a few places, but this was a minor issue compared to the stunning location. The bedding was fresh and smelt so clean and lovely, the beds were comfy and we all loved staying here. The kitchen was well equipped. We used this as a base to visit the local surrounding area around. Catching the ferry's across to Isle of Bute , Tarbert, Isle of Gigha, Isle of Arron. Getting around was easy, just turn up to a ferry terminal and pay as you get on. Buses are available and regular around each island. We explored the Kintyre peninsular, Dunoon and had a day trip on the Waverley which left from Tighnabruaich to Ardrishaig. Lots of wildlife to see. Birds, Seals, red squirrels (near Carry's farm area 10 min drive away from the flat) dolphins and deer. This coast line has some amazing beaches golden sand as far as you can see, so undisturbed and beautiful. Ettrick bay on Isle Bute, Twin beaches on Isle of Gigha, Ostel bay (Kilbride bay) Which is a short drive away from the top flat, park at the side of the ice cream shop and a pleasant walk through the woods and sand duns to a perfectly unspoilt bay. Paths all the way so easily accessible. The west coast along Arron is full of seals and Brodick has a lovely beach. We took paddleboards, and our lad loved snorkelling watching the crabs and flat fish. Its the west coast so the weather does change quickly from sun to rain and even hail in August, but you cant control he weather so be prepared and just make the most of what this beautiful coast line has to offer. Communication with the flat owner was brilliant. We would highly recommend this area to visit we had a brilliant family holiday here and many memories made. Thank you.

Absolutely wonderful - as lovely as advertised.
Super comfortable - there were two of us so we didn't need the two other bedrooms. Perfect in all regards. Stunning view from the big windows out into the loch and across to the mountains of the isle of Bute. We arrived by train, ferry, and bus from Glasgow via Dunoon (spent a night there). Travel was relatively easy and fun. Met all sorts of kind people on our day trips around the area (great helpful bus drivers and ferry guys), and chatted happily w/folks (and their dogs!) at the nice (super convenient) friendly Tighnabruaich Hotel Pub and Restaurant across the street (good food as well as lovely people). Decent convenient food store 1-minute walk around the corner. Twenty-minute walk to Kames, where there is another bigger store and a Hotel/Restaurant for a meal. Also visited Trabert and Rothesay (on Bute) via ferry and bus. But the most special thing was the flat, with its glorious views and super comfortable layout. For periodic heat we used only the wood-burning fireplace (iron stove). Kitchen facilities were great - all needs were met re appliances, dishes, utensils, etc, including a welcome basket w/coffee, tea, cookies. All in all a really wonderful experience, and, as we have said, a really perfect apartment. Well worth the trip from a noisy bustling New York City apartment replete with sirens and crowded avenues to that peaceful beautiful western Scotland village flat...

The accommodation certainly ticked all our boxes; well maintained; warm; it enjoys a very comfortable sitting area with a well equipped kitchen adjoining.
The bedrooms, a double and a twin were very comfortable and well presented, again equipped with more than sufficient storage for clothes and other bits and pieces needed for a walking holiday. The bottle of Prosecco, the pint of milk in the fridge and the "Tunnocks Teacakes" beside the kettle were a nice welcoming touch and much appreciated after a long drive up from Cairnryan. The cottage has the essentials to survive within a minutes walk, an excellent butchers; a well stocked general store (licensed) and a post office; all of which are owned and run by very friendly and helpful people, who are prepared to answer any questions you may have and offer recommendations for local eateries (when asked) - these recommendations certainly lived up to their descriptions. As for location the cottage is an excellent base for either travelling further north, or for walking. The owners of the cottage provided a list of local walks, which supplemented our own research on walks in the area, which was very thoughtful as well as being useful. No matter what the weather The Knowe Cottage at Taynuilt is an excellent holiday base location and one which we will return to again in the future

Truly a fantastic seaside holiday property!
Views are outstanding across the water to the island of Bute. Space is amazing and the long window seat is perfect for relaxing and watching yachts drift by and seabirds on or beside the water. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with all you will need and we loved the touch of a welcoming tea/coffee tray for the two of us on our arrival. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was also thoughtfully equipped. There were two other bedrooms which we didn't need, one a single and the other with a bunk bed, so the flat is ideal for a family break. We had fabulous weather all weekend and it was so peaceful to enjoy a glass of wine in the back garden sitting at the wall which overlooks the shore and sea. This was a very, last minute break and the owner was really helpful in organising this for us which was very much appreciated. All in all a PERFECT chill out weekend flat - or week if you're very lucky!
