Who We Are
Appin Cottages is a curated collection of holiday properties set in and around the stunning village of Port Appin on the west coast of Scotland. We bring together some of the finest self-catering cottages in Argyll, from cosy boltholes for two to spacious family retreats sleeping eight or more.
Every cottage in our collection has been chosen for its character, quality, and setting. Whether it sits right on the shore of Loch Linnhe, looks out across to the Isle of Lismore, or nestles in the wooded hills above the village, each property offers something genuinely special.
We work closely with cottage owners to make sure guests get the warmest of Scottish welcomes — and keep coming back year after year.
What We Stand For
Quality First
Every cottage is hand-picked and must meet our standards for comfort, cleanliness, and character before it joins our collection.
Local Knowledge
We know Appin and Argyll inside out — from the best hidden beaches to the quiet single-track roads that lead to unforgettable views.
Genuine Hospitality
We believe holidays should be effortless. Our team is here to help from first enquiry through to checkout, with honest advice and no fuss.
Respect for Nature
The landscape is what makes Appin so special. We encourage responsible travel and support the preservation of this remarkable corner of Scotland.
The Appin Area
Appin sits on the west coast of Scotland, where Loch Linnhe meets the Firth of Lorn. It is one of those rare places that still feels genuinely off the beaten track, despite being less than two hours from Glasgow.
The village of Port Appin looks directly across the water to the Isle of Lismore — the views from the shore on a clear morning are among the finest in Scotland. Castle Stalker, one of the most photographed castles in the country, sits on a tiny island just minutes away.
The area is perfect for walking, wildlife watching, sea kayaking, cycling, and simply doing very little. Red squirrels, otters, red kites and golden eagles are all regular sightings. The nearest town of Oban is just 18 miles south, offering superb seafood restaurants, distilleries, and ferry connections to the islands.
