Beautiful views. Comfortable flat. Only downside for someone with breathing difficulties was the precipitous driveway and stairs at front. Later found back door which eased things immensely. Jean and Allan made me feel very welcome. Beautiful walks fairly locally and would be great for cycling.

Tayvallich is a great place to stay, with easy access to Taynish woods, the Crinan canal and the Jura ferry. It was very useful to have a shop and pub nearby. The stand out feature of the apartment is the beautiful view across the harbour, especially from the balcony. The accommodation itself is compact but well designed, comfortable, clean and quiet. A note for those with EVs - We particularly booked this accommodation because of its advertised car charger. It's worth noting that, as this is shared with the owners, it isn't always available and access times need to be negotiated. Also, to reach it, you need to be happy to reverse either up or down a steep driveway - which took a bit of practice. Otherwise, the nearest chargers appear to be approx 10 miles away in Lochgilphead.
