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 Manse, The Old Kirk, Alpein Cottage 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 throughout the 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 cottage 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 also has a garage housing table-tennis and darts. 

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.

Kilninver can offer salmon and sea-trout fishing on the River Euchar, trout fishing on Lochs Charn, Seil and sea fishing on Loch Feochan.

The River Euchar - Enjoy superb fishing on some 3km of the River Euchar. The beat includes a mix of single and double bank fishing covering some 28 named pools from Upper Trinity to the White Stone pool at the estuary. The Euchar is very much a spate river with the first runs of fish starting in early summer with the main runs occurring in August through to October. 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.

Cockell party, Tyne & Wear 18/04/2009

What a week! The weather was more like the Mediterranean than Western Scotland - wall to wall sunshine all week. The Old Manse is a lovely homely cottage in an absolutely perfect spot. I think half my photos of the trip are of "that" view. We've seen a wide variety of sights and local wildlife and will certainly be back for more next year. A wonderful holiday.

The Old Manse is a great place to do day trips from. This year we got up north to Mallaig, south to Tarbert and over to Mull. We also enjoyed the local scenery and friendly faces on our local hikes. Happy memories to take home with us.

Visited Easter 2008 and 2009 - just as beautiful in December! We crawled up the ice to Loch Charn and slid down the track to Barnacarry Bay! Thank you for a lovely holiday.
