Really nice house, plenty of rooms, very peaceful, fantastic location. We stayed as a family get together 14 in total excellent space, needs a bit of tlc here and there and maybe turn the conservatory into a sitting room to allow everyone to relax together.
Nice big house for a family get together. Big kitchen and dining space and hottub is an added bonus. Lots of nice decor and room dressings. Little tired in places i.e. black mould on bathroom roof.
My wife and I stayed in this property with some friends for New Years celebrations. Great place with stunning views. Some elements of the house were tired or needed some tlc but nothing to complain about.
Myself and 11 friends had a great stay at Taynuilt. The house was perfect for the big group, the outdoor space, hot tub and number of bedrooms and bathrooms in particular. The kitchen was great for cooking and well equipped. The host was very helpful and communicative. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Lovely property and fantastic size wise. Would agree with other reviews that it’s is a bit tired in places but suited our needs perfectly. Hot tub was brilliant!
Stayed here for a few days with some friends and had a lovely time, ideal location with short drive/train into Oban. Hot tub was a definite highlight, the house was in amazing condition and very comfortable. Thanks for having us! :)

Not as advertised.
Very disappointed with this property. Not clean and very shabby. Totally not worth the money we paid for it. It is nothing like the online pictures.
The property suited our needs, there were a couple of snagging issues on arrival which were very quickly dealt with after a phone call to the property owner who was very helpful
We enjoyed our stay very much and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the house
Excellent base for watersports, hillwalking and cycling
The house provided an ideally located base for all our outdoor adventures in Loch Etive, Loch Awe, Glen Coe and the network of quieter roads which can be accessed from Taynuilt. There are some maintenance issues with the property which is why the overall rating is 3 stars. I have made the property owner aware of these issues. For those with younger children also be aware that there is no physical barrier between the property and the main A85. Nor is there a barrier between the garden and the adjacent building site for the Taynuilt Inn.
This is an excellent house in a beautiful area. We had 15 guests ranging from 4 to 79 - the accommodation was perfect for all of our needs…it was warm, clean and comfortable. The hot tub was a particular highlight. Gillian was approachable and helpful if needed. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and the area.
Chose property for location. Easy access to Oban by train. Property needs a bit of upgrading but would still book again. Great hot tub problem when first arrived but rectified very quickly.
The size of the property was ideal for all of us. The property was tidy and clean and although it was a birthday it was intended to be a calm weekend with hikes, games and some drinks. The hot tub is brilliant, very large and the location was close enoigh to Oban that it took 15mins to drjve in. Would stay again.
My family and I (5 adults 2 children and a dog) are just back from staying in this property. The property is a large villa and has many bedrooms and bathrooms situated over 3 floors that will accommodate all types of visitors. All the rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean on arrival and had fresh towels and linen in all. The ground floor has a large double bedroom with adjacent bathroom and shower, the first floor has 2 large master bedrooms with en suite and there is another 2 bedrooms one with 2 singles and another with a double. On the top floor there is a double bedroom down one side and another bedroom with 2 doubles down the other. In between these is another bathroom with a shower. All the rooms were spacious and had plenty of wardrobe space. The house obviously used to be multiple occupancy so there are large fire doors separting the different levels and the bedrooms on the same floor. These can be noisy at night when opening and closing if someone’s in bed while others are moving about the house but they are not a drawback by any means. Downstairs there is a cloakroom with a small tv room adjacent with lovely views of the meadow. Next door to this there is a large kitchen area with almost every utensil you could need for a short break as well as a large dining area. During our stay we had a plumbing issue which the host dealt with quickly and professionally and she was a pleasure to communicate with. I’d recommend this villa to any family looking for a staycation
The property was ideal for a large family geting together. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.
My only concern was problems with getting hot water in one shower and the almost lack of water in a basin in a bedroom.
More cutlery and larger cooking pots would have been helpful for such a large group.
But none of that spoiled our stsy.
Gillian was very helpful whenever I contacted her.
We had a lovely stay at Taynuilt. Our family ranged from 4y to 64 years and we all loved our time here. Plenty of rooms to spread out, comfy, cosy beds, welcome pack, well equipped kitchen, good outdoor space for kids and dogs to run about. Always plenty of hot water for showers and baths. A great time was had by all. Thank you x
The property was big and very clean, it was well equipped and the hot tub is a plus. Overall our stay for the weekend was really good and the location of the house is amazing.
Wonderful house and location. Had a great stay with family.
Couple of downsides, hot tub was nice however this time of year could perhaps benefit from some sort of shelter, such as gazebo, not so enjoyable in the pouring rain, and nowhere dry to keep towels, so had to leave all inside. One bedroom heater didn’t work, underfloor heating not noticeable despite turning this up. But overall great stay. 😀
Had a great stay with friends, accommodation was exactly what we needed as a group of 10 adults and 2 dogs. Just a short walk to the train station made it very convenient. Property manager was great, very helpful. Would recommend and would stay again
Here for 3 nights and didn’t want to leave! 10 of us from aged 13 to 87, everyone had a room that suited. Everything we needed in house, got a Tesco delivery so didn’t have to worry about food. Gillian the owner so helpful. Would absolutely recommend, beautiful house with fab views. Loved it!!!
Spacious bedrooms, comfy double beds. 9 ladies there for the weekend. We dined out in Connel (Oyster Inn) and Oban (Cuan Mor - both excellent and lovely scones and soup at Robin's nest in Taynuilt) so we didn't do cooking but it had what we needed for breakfast.
Lots of storage space in bedrooms though a mirror a chair and some decor would have been nice. Fab view from my room!
Layout plan photo of first floor was incorrect. it looked as if there were 3 ensuite rooms when only 2 and a separate bathroom. (bathroom door marked in wrong place). Bathrooms generally could do with a bit of an upgrade. eg missing plug, dripping taps. Garden furniture was 2 picnic tables. ( and 2 benches round the corner).
Owner replied quickly to our queries.
We had a lovely time.
House has mostly all you need for a big group of people. The host was very helpful throughout and the check in process was simple. Setting is lovely also.
Very roomy house with a lovely garden and view and ample parking. We had a lovely stay. Some parts of the house could do with a bit of maintenance and updating but this did not affect the stay. Would love to come back.
