Appin Holiday Homes - Lodges, Shepherds Hut and Train Carriage stays

Good location Excellent views Reasonably priced Very good communication from the owners Very clean , self contained cottages Good sized rooms

Bathroom doors may benefit from a lock from inside

We loved that the bothy backed up to a meadow with sheep we could hear from our window and the view of the loch was stunning. We also loved the super cute decor and the record player with lots of cool albums to choose from.

The WiFi wasn’t working and we could not access the tv. I asked about the router and was told where to locate it but it wasn’t there. We listened to records instead, so no big deal. It was a little cramped in the sleeping area but we made do. Be mindful when booking a Monday night, there are very few options close by for meals that are open.

Very private and warm and clean

Had to leave

1. The location is the best part of this lodge, with uninterrupted views of the loch and nature all around. 2. If you are lucky enough to get nice weather, you can use the outdoor patio overlooking the loch 3. The lodge is of decent size with fully equipped kitchen with all the accessories you may need, like microwave oven, kettle, toaster and fridge

1. The mattress was very uncomfortable, you could feel the springs all over your body when moving 2. The bathroom looks recently refurbished but the shower is a nightmare. I first used the high pressure option but the water was either freezing cold or burning hot (dangerously). We then discovered that the temperature could be adjusted if you change to ECO option, but the pressure was so low it was impossible to wash my hair. Just to clarify this is an electric shower 3. The heaters are also electric and, even though they are powerful enough to keep you warm, the quality of heat is very poor. The fan in the bathroom in particular has a horrible burning smell. 4. There is no recycling, just one big bin with a black bag. I don't know if this is a council issue or a business decision, but I find it appalling that in 2025 there are still places with no recycling! We took some plastic and glass home to avoid it going to landfill.
