    This is a lovely, traditional cottage which is a stones throw from the water's edge. Lots to do within driving distance. A pub/restaurant in walking distance and a shop across the road. Excellent communication from the owner.

    Nothing.

    TOFH is a traditional west coast cottage restored to a high standard. The sun room overlooking the loch is exceptional, the views are amazing, always changing with the weather. The cottage is very comfortable, soft sofas and a lovely double bed with high quality bedding. The kitchen is well equipped with washing machine, fridge and freezer etc. Plenty of room, TV if needed, but the views of the loch and wildlife were more than enough. There’s a community food store in the village, run by volunteers, a gift shop and two restaurants (didn’t use them so can’t recommend). The pedestrian ferry to Lismore is very close by, visited the island twice to see the wild flowers. A truly superb cottage in a stunning location.

    We really liked everything! Tiny points would be that we had to ask for help locating the full set of keys once we were inside. I looked back but I don't think the info for their hiding place had been given. Also, it isn't easy to find the glass recycling centre (tucked away down a side road near the Old Inn) so would be useful to add that in to the otherwise v useful guide.

    We had a wonderful week at the Old Ferryhouse. Of all the many cottages I've stayed in over the years of visiting Port Appin, this was the absolute best for location - incredible to be right on the shore, and also in the heart of the village. The kids loved playing on the shore and paddle boarding in the bay. The sun room overlooking the shore was such a lovely space; that view! We had a great stay - spacious bedrooms, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water. We also really appreciated all the books and games.

    The furniture in the sun room wasn't as comfortable and the table quite wobbly - but really I'm picking things out here.

    The property was absolutely made by its location and stunning view, but we also found the beds very comfortable and enjoyed the cosy fire, and little comfort details like the electric blankets on the bed and the electric heater in the bathroom. We also found out host very helpful. It felt homely, practical and relaxed all the time.

    Hot water only warm. Layout was a little tricky with kitchen separated from main lounge. Shower was Ok.

    Location was unbelievable. Right beside Loch Linnhe. Beautiful views and large windows to see the view. Excellent host, very clear instructions about everything. Easy access. Small fault with shower fixed very quickly. Excellent broadband, TV and heating. Lots of thoughtful things like adapter strips for power, many guidebooks, kitchen consumables, rack for stuff in bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Space to sit outside beside the loch. New carpet in lounge.

    Faultless.

    This is my favourite part of the West Coast and the cottage is in the heart of the village but secluded too. It’s full of character, comfortable, clean and stocked with wonderful books and maps. The owners were friendly and welcoming.

    The lounge furniture is elderly low to the floor, not very comfortable for the older traveller. The sun lounge furniture is similarly past its best. Although the dining table and chairs are fine. The kitchen is provided with the basics. The extensive pdf on how to take care of the property was at odds with the out of date paper copy provided at the property. This needs updating.

    The bed was comfortable; the shower was good although an over the bath type. The location is stunning.
