Thank you especially for your welcome hamper. It’s a stunning home and everything was so incredibly well organised. We felt very taken care of by the hosts and they could not have been anymore attentive or helpful. A truly superb experience. Thank you again for a wonderful stay and all your help in creating very special memories for our family.

A stay we will never forget.
You know you’re in an idyllic and relaxing environment when your Apple Watch tells you that your heart rate has dropped by 10% from being in London!
Appin Manor was the perfect get away for our families. Sleeping 10 of us it was large enough to have our own space and downtime but the communal areas fit us all perfectly.
For a bunch of foodies the kitchen was heaven, it had everything to feel like you were cooking in a beautiful commercial kitchen with outstanding views of the highlands.
The host left us some tips on beautiful walks and local sights and restaurants which we all loved.
Travelling with our kid was so easy with every detail thought of from a robe for them, a super comfortable wooden cot to toilet training seat and step.
Spending Easter weekend at Appin Manor was a stay we will never forget. -
My family had a wonderful time staying at this property.
My family had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house is very well stocked. The location is beautiful, and remote with lovely hikes. It’s about 30 minutes into Oban with a lot to do there and restaurants. We would stay again.

One thing that Appin Manor promises is a stay you will never forget.
Appin Manor is a fantastic place to spend your time relaxing. It caters for your every need with exceptional facilities. The fully equipped kitchen means you can cook up a storm, the reading room is there to relax in, the gym for when you need to feel the burn and the hot tub is amazing, especially on a clear night!. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable and warm with excellent shower and bath facilities.
The views are simply stunning, you can spend all day just looking at them. But even better is getting out and exploring the local area where you are spoilt for choice for walking and cycling.
