Self catering holiday in Appin (6mls NE), Northern Scotland

Accommodation details

This cosy first-floor apartment in the heart of the Scottish West Highlands is nestled amongst the stunning scenery of the majestic mountains, roaring rivers and lovely lochs, making it the ideal location for a romantic getaway. Situated within a mile of the small villages of Duror and Kentallen, a village shop is not far away despite the property's peaceful location.

Whatever activities you fancy, there is always a vast array on offer whatever the season, from golf and cycling in the summer to skiing and hiking in the winter. Adventurers will be pleased that Ben Nevis, the UK's highest peak, is only 27 miles away and for Munro-baggers, Ben Sgulaird is only 17 miles away.

This property is also close to the popular and picturesque towns of Glencoe (10 miles), Fort William (19.5 miles) and Oban (25 miles) with their jaw-dropping, mountainous backdrops. One of three properties in this 19th century house, this apartment is accessed via the external staircase. From here, you enter the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner.

Its vaulted ceilings, light walls and warm wood tones make the compact area feel bright and spacious, but please be aware that taller people may find the sloped ceilings too low in places. The kitchen is well-equipped and the king-size bedroom (can be made up as two twins on request) is snug, whilst the modern, white bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside, at the top of the staircase, there is a small veranda with dining furniture where you can sit and soak up the tranquillity and views of the surrounding countryside. You are also welcome to wander around and enjoy the beautiful grounds that are shared with guests in the other properties.

If you wish, this property can be linked to one of the others via a connecting door.
