The Stables B&B

Nestled in the heart of Knapdale Forest above Loch Sween on the beautiful West Coast of Scotland is The Stables B&B. The property is a converted stable block which previously formed part of a 19th century hunting lodge.

Guests have access to a private lounge/dining room with log burning stove and comfortable furnishings. The two spacious double bedrooms have en-suite facilities and can be configured as twins, or – in the case of the Knapdale room – a family room.

Why not relax and experience the hospitality already appreciated by our returning guests? A warm welcome awaits you!

We are open week-ends (Fri/Sat/Sun arrivals) from Easter until the end of October - advance booking highly recommended! On occasion, weekday bookings may be possible – minimum 3 night stay – please e-mail us via the link with your requirements, and we will try to accommodate your request.

We invite you to relax and unwind in the comfort of our home, The Stables B&B. The spacious lounge is furnished to help you feel at home, with comfortable seating, log burning stove, and a range of books and magazines. The remote controlled music system plays CD's and MP3/iPod (bring your own leads!).

The spacious en-suite bedrooms are equipped with satellite TV (freeview) and LCD TV’s coupled with a DVD player. Each room has a fridge and a small safe. Both rooms have double beds, but can be configured as twins, and the Knapdale Room can be converted to a family room.

Breakfast is served in the guest lounge. We would be happy to advise on local pubs/restaurants for your evening meal and make reservations if desired.

From The Stables B&B, walkers can pick up some of the trails Knapdale Forest has to offer. Within this national scenic area are two national nature reserves managed by Scottish Natural Heritage: Moine Mhor NNR and Taynish NNR.

For water enthusiasts, there is the scenic Crinan Canal joining the Sound of Jura with Loch Fyne. From Crinan, boat trips can be arranged to the Gulf of Corryvreckan, or to catch a glimpse of whales or dolphins, or possibly an eagle. Loch Sween and Caol Scotnish are ideal for exploring on a sea kayak.

Archaeologists are well catered for at nearby Kilmartin Glen - Scotland's richest prehistoric landscape with a concentration of cairns, standing stones and other impressive remains which have dotted the landscape from around 3000 B.C. Slightly more recent history is represented by Castle Sween (12th century), Keill’s Chapel and Kilmory Chapel both house a collection of medieval grave slabs.

The landscape of this National Scenic Area is superb and the views can be spectacular. It is no wonder that artists and photographers alike are inspired by the scenery and wildlife.
