New for 2025 our 2 new getaway Bothies offer an open plan, triple aspect living space filled with natural light. Surrounded by wild, unspoilt nature in the village of Appin on the atmospheric Argyll coastline. Sleeping up to two guests, you can gaze at Loch Creran (designated a Site of Specific Scientific Interest) through the floor-to-ceiling windows/door. At the rear of the bothie, you’ll find a large double bed where you can snuggle down and wake up to stunning views. Their is wifi and smart TV with Amazon Fire Stick - use your own sign in details. The adjoining shower room includes a spacious shower, toilet, and sink. Enjoy the comfort of underfloor heating throughout the lodge and plenty of hot water from the large tank.

Step outside through the sliding doors to a large south-facing deck, perfect for relaxing or dining al fresco. The views down the loch of orange sunsets or at night the amazing stars are fabulous. The Bothy is available for a minimum stay of 1 night during the week - 2 at the weekends, with all bedding and towels provided.

Kilkerran Bothy was a gorgeous little hideaway with lake views !
Perfect across all 5 Star categories - made us want to stay longer.

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.

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
