Great for kayaking/cycling/walking from the doorstep This was our 4th stay in The Old Ferry House and hopefully not our last ##### gillian p. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wiliiam S. 24 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable property in superb location 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. ##### Wiliiam S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexandra H. 29 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Incredible views 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. ##### Alexandra H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew J. 12 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cottage with a view 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. ##### Matthew J.
