Port Appin is a picturesque coastal village with excellent local facilities, and many places of interest nearby. It is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, as the area is rich in beautiful walks, varied cycle tracks and opportunities for a variety of watersports. The village is not only stunningly pretty, but also boasts two award-winning hotels, a village shop/Post Office, a bicycle hire shop and fishing from the jetty. From the small jetty, a 5 minute ferry ride will take you across the Lynn of Lorn to the unspoilt island of Lismore, the most accessible of the Argyll islands, and a beautiful tranquil place steeped in history with ruined castles and an Iron Age Broch. The bustling town of Oban is a short drive to the south and just 29 miles north is Fort William with Ben Nevis - the largest mountain in Britain; both places are well worth a visit!

All in all the property was fantastic for a vacation, no negatives, we were a little concerned as pre warned about the neighbours dog , but there were no issues what so ever (thankfully) the place was very well equipped but i would recommend easier to handle knives and forks especially for children , for us the location was perfect for the beach as we and dogs love to walk the coast line so thank-you to kath and to sykes

We used the house as a base to explore the wider area and it was perfect for this. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for ourselves, our children and our dog. There were lots of thoughtful touches like spare beach/dog towels available if you had forgotten your own. The 2 minute walk to the, dog friendly, little beach was great. And there is a children's splash park, just a short way along the front. We had days out in Cardiff, Gower and Tenby amongst other places. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
