About this property

Kilkerran Bothy - a bothy that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

You'll discover our bespoke Bothy - one of two - perfectly positioned in the village of Appin, on the atmospheric Argyll coastline.

Surrounded by wild, unspoilt nature, and sleeping up to two guests, you can gaze at Loch Creran (designated a Site of Specific Scientific Interest) through the floor-to-ceiling window, as you snuggle cosily up inside.

You'll also be surrounded by everything you need to hole yourselves up in tranquil comfort, so all you need to do is bring some essential holiday supplies, and get ready to relax!

There's a peaceful, daylight-flooded living area with a double sofa bed, and a stylish kitchenette with a countertop electric hob, microwave oven, toaster, and all the utensils you could possibly want.

There is a lovely shower room ideal for morning freshen-ups, .

You'll find this dreamy space furnished with a downy double mattress, and a huge window that means you can watch the twinkling stars before drifting off, then wake to an awe-inspiring sunrise.

After a lazy lie-in, it's time for the serious business of putting the kettle on, whipping up a hearty breakfast, and deciding how you're going to spend the rest of the day!

Quiet retreat

Perfect for our (too) short stay. The bothy is nicely situated with pretty views of the loch. Accommodation is well equipped, comfortably furnished and gave an extremely cosy escape from the foul weather outside. Will definitely return and recommend.

Perfect accommodation in a stunning location

Stayed for 3 nights in this gorgeous modern Bothy, everything you need for your stay is provided, the bed is so comfortable , loved waking up to the stunning loch view from the full length window/door directly facing the bedroom area, and the lovely bathroom has a fab shower. The outside area is spacious and perfect for just sitting ( or relaxing in the hammock!) taking in the fabulous views. I can 100% recommend Appin Holiday Homes and the kind owners Jim & Julie

A magical stay on the loch. Peaceful, remote, and perfectly comfortable...

What an incredible stay at this bothy! From the very start, communication was excellent; everything was clear, friendly, and easy to follow, which made the arrival process a breeze, despite the remote location. The bothy itself is beautifully set up with simple but very comfortable décor, a thoughtfully snug layout, and a well-equipped kitchenette. The bed is comfy, the space was perfectly clean, and everything felt well-maintained. Just a heads-up: if you’re arriving late, be sure to stock up on basics on your way in, as this place is wonderfully remote. However, the local Inn is under a 5 minute walk away for lunch or an evening meal on the waterside, and the ground coffee and French press were a welcome touch in the morning. I was here on a work trip, so I’ll mention that the light from the window above the main door comes through quite early, so if you're sensitive, an eye mask might help. That said, if you’re on holiday, waking up gently with the morning light feels like a gift, not a problem. The location is the pièce de résistance, truly breathtaking. Right on the edge of the loch, nestled in peaceful surroundings and nature, it was impossible not to unwind (even if it was just moments between working on my laptop; Wi-Fi and phone signal were both great). I went for a swim in the loch the evening I arrived, and it was the perfect way to decompress and immediately slip into a slower, more grounded rhythm. I would highly recommend this Bothy if you're looking for a remote Highland escape with all the self-catering comforts thoughtfully covered. I'd return in a heartbeat for leisure, to take time to walk and absorb the magical landscape.
