Welcome to Appin House Apartments and Lodges
Appin House is set amongst some of the most breath-taking scenery in the Scottish West Highlands. From its elevated position overlooking Loch Linnhe, to the South West can be seen Castle Stalker with the hills of Mull in the background, and to the West, the mountains of Morvern rise majestically from the loch.
We are David and Denys Mathieson, and for 21 years now we have been personally operating a small, family run self catering accommodation business from our home at Appin House in North Argyll.
Beautifully landscaped gardens of 3 acres, with many specimen trees, surround the house, and pathways through the lawn and shrubs lead the visitor to secluded resting places. In Springtime the scents and colours of the azaleas and rhododendrons are almost unbelievable. The Autumn colours provide a blaze which is equally magnificent.
Over the years we have slowly developed and expanded, and now pride ourselves that we can offer accommodation to suit a range of requirements and tastes.
Our smallest units are for 2 people only, whilst our largest, purpose built cottage is perfect for the larger family or smaller group looking for lots of space in the ultimate of comfort and quality.
