Island escape

With a host of accommodation and sporting activities to suit everyone, from families to couples, the Benmore estate is a remote paradise full of natural wonders to explore
-
THE Benmore estate, on the island of Mull, is a private paradise that offers a perfect base to enjoy activities that range from watching whales, puffins and falcons to deerstalking, fishing, kayaking or simply playing rounders on the island's golden beaches. Benmore provides a welcome taste of a slower pace of life. For groups of up to 20, the main residence, Knock House, offers 21st-century comfort in a beautifully restored, 18th-century setting, with exclusive access to the estate's unique sporting opportunities. A traditional WestHighland sporting lodge, Knock House was once home to John, 9th Duke of Argyll and his wife, Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's fourth daughter, and has now been painstakingly brought back to life by its owner, Tim Radford.
Something for everyone
