Situation
Baliemore Cottage is in a wonderfully private rural setting in a location of great natural scenic beauty on the Knapdale peninsula just beyond Kilmory. The house is set just beyond Kilmory beach and there are wonderful, panoramic aspects across rolling countryside to the water. The nearest local shop for everyday provisions is in Tayvallich and there is further fuller shopping and professional services at Lochgilphead, the latter about 20 miles to the northeast of Baliemore Cottage. Crinan, Cairnbaan and Tayvallich are small and charming west coast villages and hamlets which are accessible to and from Baliemore Cottage. Crinan, with its little harbour, canal basin and anchorage, forms the western sea end of the Crinan Canal and in the summer months the canal is always a colourful spectacle with passing yachting, cruising and pleasure craft as they navigate the canal waterway to connect the inland sea lochs, the Clyde estuary and the Kyles of Bute with the more testing and scenically spectacular sailing waters of the western Isles. Tayvallich is a picturesque fishing village situated on the shores of Loch Sween. It is a popular and sheltered yachting haven with its spectacular scenery and vibrant community which includes a restaurant, general store and shop along with many local artists. There is a beach just across at Carsaig Bay and many miles of scenic coastal walks in and around the peninsula.
Lochgilphead (20 miles) has a good range of local shops, a mid sized Co-op supermarket and amenities that adequately cater for everyday needs and requirements with further shopping including a Tesco supermarket is available at Oban. It is possible to arrange grocery deliveries from both the Co-op and Tesco. Glasgow is the nearest major city and has a complete and extensive range of shopping, cultural, higher educational and leisure services normally associated with a major centre. Lochgilphead has both primary and secondary schooling with a school bus service which is also a service bus. The area offers a fine range of relaxing outdoor pursuits with pleasant hikes, walks and more testing hill climbs. Field sports are available in the area and include stalking, driven and walked up shooting as well as fishing, both sea and inland hill loch.
The area is well known for its dramatic and natural scenic beauty, and this has always drawn people to the area making it a popular tourist destination. The Mid Argyll swimming pool is in Lochgilphead. There are hospitals in Lochgilphead – Mid Argyll Community Hospital and integrated Care Centre, and Oban – Lorne and Islands District General Hospital. A local bus service 425 & 426 operated by West Coast Motors, provides a local and city service from Achnamara and the nearest main line rail station is at Oban.
