4 bedroom accommodation in Port Appin
Enjoy the cosy woodburner in the winter, or the 3-acre gardens in the summer, an ideal all year round holiday cottage.. This beautifully renovated and extended cottage enjoys an idyllic, rural location just a hundred yards or so from the crystal clear waters of the Lyne of Lorne, and has wonderful sea views. Located at the head of Airds Bay at the end of a private track approximately 1 mile long, Cliff Cottage stands detached and makes a wonderful retreat from which to explore this scenic area and to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the countryside.
An easy walk away is the pretty fishing village of Port Appin, which overlooks Loch Linnhe with its several islands and backdrop of mountains. From here ferries to the Isle of Lismore can be taken, where several places of interest can be visited. Apart from the fortified Tirefour Broch, there are the ruins of the 12th-century Castle Coeffin and the abandoned quarry village of Sailean with its disused kilns, as well as the ruins of Achanduin Castle and the island’s highest point Barr Mor. To the north of Port Appin, the romantic Castle Stalker can be found - much loved by photographers. Appin is a destination for food-lovers with several very highly rated restaurants in the immediate area.
Within easy reach, the Victorian resort of Oban is the second largest town in Argyll. It has the McCaig’s Folly as its landmark, which was built in imitation of Rome’s Colosseum. A tour of the Oban Distillery is a popular experience for whisky lovers whilst boat trips to Mull, Iona, Staffa, Seal Island and the Treshnish Isles can be made from the harbour at Oban. A short ferry ride from Oban takes visitors to the Isle of Kerrera - a small easily explored island from where panoramic views of Mull, the Slate Islands, Lismore and beyond can be admired.
In the opposite direction lies Fort William, with Ben Nevis - Britain’s highest summit - rising up in the background. One of the Highland’s most impressive glens, Glen Nevis, can be found just a further 10-minute drive away and apart from being the starting point for the ascent of Scotland’s highest peak, has been the location for several films, including Rob Roy and Braveheart.
The area is superb for walking, fishing and boat trips, which are all close by, whilst further afield are the fabulous mountains of Glencoe (with skiing in winter). Shop ⅓ mile. Pub ½ mile.. 1 step to entrance.

A lovely, homely cottage. Very comfortable stay with all the home comforts. Lovely bay and the tide goes right out. Great base for oban and the ferries. Good local restaurants and a handy little shop in Port Appin. We really enjoyed our stay
The house has comfy beds, a huge fridge, nice cutlery and modern bathrooms. The landlord is readily available should you have any household issues.

Beautiful well equiped house in a stunning location. Ideal cottage for a relaxing holiday. Unfortunately we didn't see the visiting deer or otters however we did watch the resident bats giving an aerial display whilst we were eating dinner outside. Will definitely be back.

The location of the cottage is lovely - perhaps there should be some warning regarding the state of the road getting to and from. Very safe for small children with a lovely walk to the village cooperative shop.

The house is great but the location makes this house. The kids and dog can just walk out the front door and play with no worries about safety. It feels like you virtually have a private beach on the doorstep and the walk into Port Appin is lovely, with the Pierhouse Hotel within walking distance for a coffee or delicious meal. We’ll be back.
