Ben View has its own enclosed private patio and grassed garden area and is sited in a fantastic quiet location.. The beach is just 180 metres away down our private track.

Neighbourhood information

This is the perfect area for kayaking and canoeing, with Loch Etive on your doorstep and the River Awe just a mile away. For the hillwalker there are 4 Munro summits within 3 miles of the house. The high tops of Glen Coe are just 10 miles away. With the Mammores and Ben Nevis tops also an hour away. There are many mountain bike tracks in the area from easy forest trails to full day 30 mile routes not for the faint hearted. Bikes can be rented locally. This whole area is of outstanding natural beauty. The wildlife is probably second to none, eagles, ospreys, otters, basking sharks and deer to name but a few. We are an easy walk, cycle or a quick drive away from the centre of Taynuilt which is approximately 1 mile away. Taynuilt itself offers you an excellently stocked village store, with a variety of top quality produce and delivery if needed.
