Kilninver on the famous West Coast of Scotland, some 8 miles south of Oban, is a fine country estate boasting four much sought-after traditional stone holiday houses (The Old Kirk, Alpein Cottage, The Old Manse and Dairy Cottage) which enjoy marvellous views over Loch Feochan (sea-loch) to the Islands of Kerrera and Mull.  This estate embraces some 2,500 acres of open hill country and woodlands (lovely walks, Spring flowers, wildlife); the River Euchar (salmon-fishing chargeable) and two inland lochs (fun trout-fishing INCLUDED throughout the fishing season); some spectacular coast with a great variety of birds.

The small Island of Seil approached via the 'Bridge across the Atlantic' is just 4 miles down the road and from nearby Oban (shops, restaurants, hotels, 18 hole golf, swimming-pool) you can enjoy sea fishing or boat trips to the Islands of Mull, Staffa, Iona, Lismore etc.

Each house is individually and stunningly situated in this area of great natural beauty - well off the road, with surrounding countryside where children can play.  The Old Manse and Old Kirk also have an indoor playroom  housing table-tennis . 

Heating is by wood-burning stove, electric-radiators and night-store heaters (electricity and logs INCLUDED). Bed-linen and towels are INCLUDED.  Pets are welcome under strict control.

The Euchar beat can be booked by the week for two rods in conjunction with one of the holiday cottages or on a daily basis for visitors.

Lochs Charn, Seil and Feochan - Lochs Charn and Seil offer fishing for wild brown trout. Loch Feochan offers opportunities for sea anglers with pollack and mackerel the most common catches. Loch fishing is free to holiday tenants and is also available to visitors on a day ticket basis.

Fantastic weather. Oban was the warmest place in the UK on Thursday! We've had a marvellous holiday - walking over the hill to Barnacarry Beach, ferry to Kerrera and a sunlit picnic on a hill overlooking the sea to Mull. We've loved staying in such a great location with a view that I will miss!
