300 year old cottage renovated to blend 21st century luxuries with original features. Perfect for hiking or skiing the mountains, kayaking to the seal colony or cycling, walking or horse-riding along The Caledonia Way/National Cycle Network. The perfect base from which to explore Glencoe, Ben Nevis and Oban.

Steeped in the history of the Appin Stewarts and nearby Castle Stalker, Robert Louis Stevenson based his novels Catriona and Kidnapped on the story of the murder of The Red Fox of Glen Ure in the Appin area. Built in 1320 it sits in the loch watching over the local residents.<br /><br />The cottage faces Loch Laich and just a five stroll from the front door will get you to the sea and to the Caledonia Way (part of the National Cycle Network) where you can walk or cycle to Campbeltown in one direction and Inverness in the other. Take a sea trip out of Oban to view whales, seals and dolphins (in season) or just enjoy a big bag of fresh, locally caught fish and chips in the harbour of Oban or sitting on the beach at Ganavan sands.<br /><br />The charming Old Inn is open daily for food and drinks and is located just 800 meters from the cottage - a perfect place to unwind in front of the fire and chat away to the locals who are warm and welcoming to all.<br /><br />If your aching body needs help after a full day - why not take advantage of the discount available to you for a local therapist to give you a massage in the comfort of the cottage.<br /><br />Fort William with its skiing, mountain biking and hiking are a 45 minute drive from the cottage while Oban is accessed by car in 25 minutes. From here you can take ferries to all the other islands such as Jura or Mull.<br /><br />Highland Games, hiking challenges, motor rally, the world cup stone skimming championships - these are just some of the local events on during 2016. More information on what's on, where and when is in the cottage welcome pack waiting for you on arrival (and can be emailed to you in advance if you wish to plan your trip in advance).
