About this property
Taigh Creag Thulach is an exceptional detached escape in Taynuilt, Argyll & Bute, where loch views and a peaceful countryside setting set the tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, stylish interiors pair natural textures with modern touches, offering an inviting flow from the open-plan living space to a separate living room with woodburning stove; perfect for gathering after a day in the fresh Highland air. A ground-floor twin bedroom provides added flexibility, while two elegant upstairs bedrooms include a super-king-size with en-suite and a king-size. There’s a ground-floor bathroom and a further family bathroom, each with a walk-in shower and bath, giving plenty of space for unrushed mornings.
Practicalities are discreetly handled with a utility room, and you’ll appreciate off-road parking for two cars. Step outside to a non-enclosed garden designed to feel part of the landscape, complete with lawns, a patio with furniture, and a chimenea for lingering outdoors as the sky turns pink over the water. The property is pet-friendly, welcoming one well-behaved dog to join your adventures, and its air source heating keeps things gently warmed whatever the weather brings. Days here invite unhurried exploration: wander the shoreline, watch the light shift across the loch, and return for simple suppers, a favourite bottle in the wine chiller, and easy conversation by the woodburning stove.
Whether you’re gathering with family or sharing a special getaway with friends, this tranquil base makes time feel expansive; think morning coffee with a view, long walks, and evenings under the stars. Taynuilt sits in a sweep of Highland scenery where lochs, forests, and mountains all seem to converge, giving the area a wonderfully unhurried charm. The village makes an easy base for exploring Loch Etive’s quiet shores, the dramatic slopes of Ben Cruachan, and the atmospheric ruins of Bonawe Iron Furnace. A short drive west brings you to Oban, a lively harbour town known for its seafood, island ferries, and the hilltop silhouette of McCaig’s Tower.
Together, they offer a blend of tranquillity and adventure that feels distinctly Argyll. For a wonderful stay where nature leads and comforts follow, Taigh Creag Thulach offers a memorable Highland escape.
The small attractive village of Taynuilt is situated 12 miles from the bustling town of Oban, known as the 'Gateway to the Isles'.

The area is a haven for hill walkers and nature lovers, with its spectacular scenery and the beauty of Loch Etive.
