MacDonald Apartment
Situated in Taynuilt, MacDonald apartment is perfectly located on the first floor of this delightful Scottish mansion allowing you to take full advantage of the surrounding views from its fabulous original Edwardian windows. Recently renovated to a luxury standard, this bright and spacious self-catering holiday home sleeps up to four guests in great comfort. The appealing open plan living room creates the heart of the apartment and is a fantastic space to relax in – sink into one of the deep sofas by the cosy log burner and enjoy memorable holiday evenings. The breakfast bar by the stylish, modern kitchen offers an additional social space whilst cleverly creating a separate dining area. The main super-king bedroom boasts two bay windows, one of which has a deep window seat allowing you to make the most of the glorious outlook across the landscaped garden to the pond and woodland beyond. There is a second, equally comfortable king bedroom and the modern bathroom has the luxury of a large step-in shower.
Lonan House enjoys a glorious Scottish setting with stunning views to Ben Cruachan, Argyll’s highest mountain. Designed by Sir Robert Lorimer and built in 1906, this impressive Edwardian mansion is full of romantic highland character and retains many of its original Arts & Crafts features. This is a wonderful holiday destination for dog owners and guests are invited to enjoy the large surrounding landscaped garden, complete with croquet lawn and pond, extended grounds and woodland which give a wonderful sense of space and freedom. Deer are often seen grazing around the house and this magical spot is home to amazing wildlife including red squirrels, otters and pine marten. Keen birdwatchers will delight at the huge variety of birds including the chance to see golden and white-tailed sea eagles or the beautiful black grouse. There are endless walks to be discovered right from the doorstep and many wonderful panoramic views across the glen to Mull in the West, Loch Etive in the North and Loch Awe in the East. Glen Lonan is part of National Cycle Route 78, The Caledonia Way, stretching 234 miles through stunning Scottish countryside.
Quiet days can be spent relaxing in the surrounding peace, or the nearby harbour town of Oban offers a good range of shops, local attractions and excellent restaurants, many of which serve freshly caught seafood. During the summer the town comes alive with a host of festivals and ceilidhs, attracting bagpipers, highland dancers and traditional musicians from all over the world. There are numerous exciting day trips to be enjoyed including ferries to the beautiful inner Hebridean islands including Mull and Tiree.
The village of Taynuilt is within walking distance (1 mile) and has a train station with regular trains to Glasgow, Oban and Dalmally. Also, it has a well stocked grocery shop, butchers, post office and tea-room. There is a nine-hole course for the golf enthusiast and lovely walks along the piers at Loch Etive.

Patricia Fellows
The apartment was extremely well equipped and beautifully presented. The beds were very, very comfortable( as my grandson said “this is luxury”) An added bonus was the wildlife we were able to see from our window. Deer, Red Squirrels, Rabbits as well as many species of birds coming to the feeders. The owners Malcolm & Elaine were very friendly & helpful. We will be back there again in 6 weeks and are encouraging friends to book up. Excellent
