Appin Bay View

We again had the attic flat bedroom and enjoyed the space and views. Our host Mike was very welcoming and knows the area well. Breakfast cannot be faulted. The Asian breakfast was, for a Malaysian, delicious.

Mike was a superb host. He was friendly, welcoming, cooks great breakfasts including his own home-made yoghurt (and chilli sauce for the Vietnamese option), and went the second mile in booking us tables at local venues for dinner and even offering us a lift to one that was further away. We stayed in the top floor Eyrie room which was large, light, airy and comfortable with king size bed and spacious sitting area with Smart TV. It had a fridge for fresh milk for our tea/coffee, a cafetière of fresh coffee as well as sachets of instant and a wide selection of teas. There was a large en suite bathroom with huge bath and roomy separate shower. Not to mention the best view in Scotland (IMO) of Castle Stalker on its own tiny isle in Loch Linnhe. The guest house has a lovely breakfast room on the first floor with a balcony (same stunning view) which can be used throughout the day. It contains a fridge with beers/soft drinks/wine with an honesty box, the contents of which are donated to a Glasgow Cancer Centre. There is plentiful private parking and at the rear so the guest house is a wonderful extensive flowering meadow which, at the time of our stay in May, was rich in floral and insect life. Those with mobility problems should note that there is no lift and all accommodation and breakfast room are upstairs on first and second floors.

What a wonderful stay at Appin Bay View. The Eyrie room was absolutely amazing, the view is breathtaking and the room so cosy. Mike is a wonderful host, who makes you feel at ease first minute in the house. Also the breakfasts are amazing!! Would definitely come back if I have the chance, it was my best accommodation in my Scottish trip. Thanks a lot Mike for everything!!!
