  Property was a good base to visit surrounding areas from.

  The cottage was of a good size , comfortable and warm, and had every thing you’d require for your stay, from washing up liquid to kitchen roll to every utensil you’d ever need. The garden was huge, with a stream running along the bottom which my dog thoroughly enjoyed a wee paddle in. Plenty parking space if travelling by car. The owners had also left some tea, coffee , milk in the fridge and biscuits which was very much appreciated. Another lovely thought/treat that was left , was doggy treats , which the dog loved, a ball and some poo bags. Communication between owner and myself was excellent, they gave clear directions of how to get there and let me know that the place was now available to use. When there, the owner came to introduce himself, which was nice to be able to put a face to the name. There are local shops right on the doorstep , a grocery shop , butchers shop etc. The railway is within walking distance if wanting to travel without a car. Would recommend this place to stay and would consider a return visit in the future

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
