The Taychreggan

Kilchrenan, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
Picture
How times change. Once a rustic cattle drover’s inn, The Taychreggan now boasts all the home comforts the 21st century traveller requires.

At least three hundred years old, this picturesque old building benefits from its beautiful location on the banks of Loch Awe. And it was here, in October 1773 that two of English literature’s most famous names, James Boswell and Dr Johnson, rested en route to the Hebrides.

Recalling their time at the Taychreggan, Boswell wrote: “We crossed in a ferry-boat a pretty wide lake, and on the farther side of it, close by the shore we found our inn. The prospect of good accommodation cheered us much. We supped well and after supper Dr. Johnson whom I had not see taste any fermented liquor during our travels, called for a gill of whisky. 'Come,' said he, 'let me know what it is that makes a Scotchman happy!'"

4 star rated, The Taychreggan features 18 guest rooms in all, these being divided between the original building and a relatively new wing – the latter houses the junior suites. Dining is available in the hotel’s 2 AA Rosette restaurant, while drinks can be taken in the Drover’s Bar.
