Knock Cottage was a 19th century Dame School provided by The Maxwells of Monreith Estate to provide education for the surrounding children. The cottage is spacious and bright with a large double bedroom, with adjoining dressing room; generous sized single bedroom and a sunroom where it is ideal to enjoy the sunset, while relaxing over a jigsaw on the large table or reading, while the living room is inviting once the sun has set.
Knock Cottage is situated opposite a ½ mile single track road leading to two fantastic beaches and St Medan nine-hole Golf Course which is overlooked by Gavin Maxwell’s memorial bronze otter on the cliff top and provides fantastic views over Lucy Bay to the Isle of Mull Lighthouse, or further afield to the Isle of Man and Ireland beyond.
Nestled and hidden between the quiet beach and Gavin Maxwell’s Otter is the ancient church and church yard of Kirkmaiden.
Knock Cottage is located close the working harbour village of Port William, with a licenced grocery shop, post-office, old-fashioned ironmongers and the locally volunteered Lifeboat Café, which provides wonderful sea views.
