Wonderful

Spacious, full of character, views to die for - bad weather not a problem because it’s difficult to tear yourself away from the conservatory watching the wildlife(otters included) and the constantly changing views.
Great for kayaking/cycling/walking from the doorstep
This was our 4th stay in The Old Ferry House and hopefully not our last

Hi Gill
Thanks for your excellent review and for being such a great supporter of the OFH
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage, we found that all the facilities, equipment provided was sufficient for us, and that the location was good, within easy reach of both Glencoe to the north and Oban to the south.
What really made it for us though was the absolutely splendid view of the loch from the sun room and garden at the back. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunset over the mountains and spent lots of time just drinking in the view.
Whilst we were here, we saw Sea Otters and Herons in the loch, were visited by Deer and a Hedgehog, and there was plenty of bird spotting happening as well.

Hi Matt
Thanks for your review. It was a pleasure to have you stay at the OFH & hope you return at some point

The property is a cosy, comfortable base for which to explore the wonderful area in and around Port Appin. The views of Loch Linnie from the sun lounge are fantastic (especially when the otters are about). Overall, a great place to relax and unwind.
The property has amazing sea views. The cottage is tired and in real need of renovation, although some had been carried out. The aspect was fenomenal, but the property needed work.
