Very cosy and the beds are very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. We just missed a bath mat (later supplied) and hand towel also for the bathroom. Fantastic views.



Not being a couple, the twin room beds had not been changed or made up. Left after one night.

A 2 night stay reduced to one as the beds in the twin room had no sheets and the bedding was soiled.

This was our 6th stay in as many years, we started in the caravans by the loch and now use the pet friendly lodges, Foxs Den was clean and comfortable and well equipped, the view right on your doorstep is stunning whatever the weather and the location is perfect for visiting Oban and Fort William, plenty of walks and a lovely quiet beach only 15 mins drive, A useful folder in the lodge with lots of information and lovely owners on hand if needed. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending a stay here and we will definitely be back soon!

Appin Holiday Homes was perfect for our stay in the area. An ideal location with stunning views.
The lodge worked well, as we had our 2 small dogs with us. There were walks from the door and the grounds were well kept and maintained. The lodge appeared a little tired (mainly the frontage/steps etc), however it was comfortable, clean and well equipped. There was parking right next to the lodge. The information file was very helpful.
We would definitely stay here again.

Stunning self catering lodges, very clean and cosy, high quality furnishings and everything you need for comfort during your stay.

Great views over Loch Creran from the Lodges. We booked 8 Lodge's for my daughter's wedding (the stunning Wedding venue was 5 minutes away - St Mary's Wedding Space). It was the perfect setting for both sides of the bride & groom's family to all get together in the quiet peaceful lodges of Appin. We also enjoyed a lovely evening meal in the local Creagan Inn Bar & Restaurant. You can drive from the Lodges or it's a short 5 minute walk away.

Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to escape from it all to the peaceful setting of Appin Lodges with stunning Loch views Everything was perfect for our special occasion. Thank you.

Stayed in a lodge this time as we had our dog with us, but much preferred the static caravan (at the beach) across the road we stayed in last year. However for our short stay the lodge was adequate and catered for our dog who slept in his own bed.

We enjoyed our stay and the family who run the site are helpful.and welcoming. The lodge was clean and well-equipped and furnishings good, but we could not use the double bed comfortably due to the closeness of the walls at the head area. We were however able to use the twin room. The outside of the lodge maybe could do with some tlc but basically the main issue was that the price seemed higher than we would.expect for this accomodation.













A lovely week with excellent weather.

We were given clear instructions by email before our arrival on how to get to our holiday lodge which was very useful.

The owner came to ensure everything was in working order in the lodge and to welcome us and wish us a good break.

The kitchen was very well equipped although I did miss not having a dishwasher as we did tend to cook and eat in the lodge.

We didn’t find the bed very comfortable so mattress could probably do with being replaced.The bathroom could also do with an upgrade.

The the view from the balcony is amazing looking out over the loch, it was also an ideal location for our dog with some lovely walks.

Just love it here. Love this part of Scotland. The lodges are well equipped, clean and comfortable. The location of the lodges is wonderful. Great local area, but also perfect if wanting to travel around a bit. We visited Mallaig, Silver Sands Beach, Glenfinnan and the Isle of Mull. All stunning. We also love Appin and Port Appin. The people have been kind and welcoming. Totally recommend The Pierhouse Hotel for dinner, lunch or simply a drink in the cosy snug. Ruby our Fox Red has been made to feel welcome wherever we’ve been.
Thank you Mr & Mrs Weir for sharing your lodges and enabling us to have a wonderful holiday. We will miss it next week when we’re back at work. Have the fondest memories though of this beautiful place. We’ll be back!

We usually stay in the area a few times a year, so thought we'd try the lodges having driven past so many times.

Beautiful location and lovely to be able to walk along and explore the old station and go a bit further with pavements or off road paths for miles around.

Very clean, warm, dog friendly lodge with fantastic views of Loch Creran.
Plus points- bath with shower over, huge L-shaped sofa, well equipped kitchen, spacious enclosed and sunny deck with comfy chairs, easy access to dog walking, walking distance to pub!
Negative points- double bed very soft, bed linen and cushions a bit tired & dated, had to provide own towels.

Very clean lodge with fabulous views. Perfectly big enough for 3 or 4. Very handy covered veranda which provided good protection from the rain and sufficient space for bike storage. Well placed for the traffic free cycle path. Beware if visiting during the English October half term that some cafes will be on winter opening hours (we knew this so it didn't bother us).

Unfortunately we found the lodge very tired and in need of updating. We stayed in Fox Den lodge which is one of the pet friendly lodges and although it didn’t smell of dog it did have an unpleasant smell. The bathroom felt cold and damp and there was very little water pressure from the shower. The wooden steps to enter the lodge were very slippy and in need of repair. The electric heater in the lounge was very rusty. The beds were ok but just very old. All in all we wish we would have paid more money and stayed somewhere nicer as the accommodation we stayed in prior to and after this were lovely.

The fox den lodge was a great place to stay. There was 3 of us and a dog and the size and layout was a great fit. The fully enclosed decking with the gate was particularly good for our dog and our piece of mind. The lodge was warm and cosy and the heating had the place toasty in no time. The views were stunning and the large front window allowed us to enjoy it all day long. Loads of great places to eat near by and only a short drive to Oban. Plenty of places to walk from the lodge and access to the Oban to Fort William cycle path. Correspondence with the owners was great. Would definately recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. Cabin a little tired but all worked ok. Beautiful views, the road is busy and noisy during the day and did slightly detract from the relaxation. Good central location.
Possibly a little more could be provided for the kids in the play area, the Wendy house was damaged and not safe for young ones, however the grounds were great to explore and the near(ish) beach was fantastic. Neighbours were all friendly and quiet. We did love it as the weather was fantastic, we may have struggled with games to amuse us if it had rained all day. A book library or jigsaw exchange would be a good idea.

Although we visit this area every year this is the first time we have stayed at Appin Holiday Homes, Fox Den Lodge has everything you would require for your self catering time away. This lodge is dog friendly which is why we booked, maybe also why a few areas need attention inside but the scenery from the cabin is just beautiful and makes up for any shortcomings inside and we would stay again ! Also the immediate surrounding area is great for walking the dog.

We stay self catering as we like to eat out at different places for dinner, a few local ones we tried were:

The Old Inn - Great if you are a steak lover, not much else on menu though. The steaks however are amazing although a bit expensive - £38 for a T-Bone.
Creagan Inn - Menu wasn't very inspiring did not tempt us to try, although great for a drink outside relaxing with that magical view, and just a short walk away.
Fish & Chips at Tralee bay were fantastic, well worth the drive to collect.

We stayed in Fox Den Chalet with three others and a dog. The area was perfect for both ourselves and our pet with lots of walks and plenty activities in a small radius .There are two places to eat out in the immediate area and we sampled both finding them to be excellent, We first went to this site 30 years ago and will certainly be back. The only complaint is the lack of accesable electricity sockets due to the way the furniture has been sited.

Had a really relaxing stay, and on recommendation of owners visited the Old Inn for a lovely steak meal. Port Appin and Castle Stalker also close by, would definitely stay again.

Really covid compliant so we felt really safe. The customer service was excellent, the location is brilliant and the site is really nice - lots of space, the railway line really interesting and so close to a great pub!

The lodge (fox) was spacious and comfy, we just felt that it was a bit tired for £320 for x2 nights. The living room had a lovely big sofa and the beds comfy duvets, the huge terrace was fantastic, but the kitchen and bathroom felt very ‘caravan’ and in need of an update.

My husband and I stayed in the Fox Den Lodge for a week in September with our dog.
There is a walk on the old railway line behind the lodge which is handy for the dog and
It is a short walk to the Creagan Inn which serves very good food .
The best thing about the lodge is the great views.

Just returned from a 3 night stay in Fox Den Lodge. Perfect location for a short break with lovely views over Loch Creran and Glencoe only a short drive away.
Jim was very helpful when we asked his advice regarding walking in the area.
Very pet friendly and safe for my daughters dog who was able to spend most of her time on the decking area as it was secured with a gate.
Would definitely return.

The lodge was perfect for a couple and had wonderful views at the front. There was a veranda at the front of the lodge with modern outdoor furniture and everything was clean and in working order. The owner was very friendly and helpful. A great location for touring and walking.

Stayed a week in Fox Den Lodge.
Owners very helpful and friendly without being intrusive.
Lodge was very clean and comfortable but was looking a bit dated. Would benefit from some upgrading..
Excellent location for walking and touring.
Food and service at Creagan Inn very good.
We will return.

Great location, fantastic dog friendly accommadation. Lodges could do with a bit of an update, but did not affect our stay.
Great location for Munro bagging, cycle track from Oban to Fort William. Fantastic pub (Creagan's Inn) superb hospitality , great food and also dog friendly within easy walking distance. We were fortunate to have great weather during our May stay, decking was a great suntrap, with fantastic loch veiws.
My husband bagged the three local munros, whilst I enjoyed the sun. Will definately return, cafe at Castle Stalker View also worth a visit does good food, with great views.

A relaxing location, the lodges are a few years old but nonetheless are comfortable and offer most of what is needed for an enjoyable time. There is plenty to see and do in the local area.
Owners of the site are very friendly and there when needed.
Beautiful views of mountains and shorelines are guaranteed.

I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing week in Appin.

The lodge was very comfortable and had everything you could need during your stay and the view from the sitting room area was beautiful in autumn colours. The outside deck would be a lovely spot to sit on a summer day.

The location was great for a number of reasons - great views and lots of lovely walks all round the area, especially good when you have your pet with you. The lodge is located between Oban and Fort William so there are loads of things to do, see and visit in close proximity.

Hi we stayed at Fox Den for 3nights.The accommodation was freshly decorated, very clean,compact but very adequate.The area was excellent with access to cycle path 78 on the doorstep excellent for dog walking.The staff were very friendly and seemed to enjoy their business.Winter opening hours for shops and hotels would be good additional information as Creggan Inn was shut mid week and shop at Port Appin closed at 1.

I have stayed in better self catering for less money. It was ok but not brilliant. No towels when we arrived and none appeared until the evening after we had checked in, by which time we had gone and bought some so we could have a shower. We were compensated for this with a written apology and a couple of mini packets of cheap biscuits. The location is nice but i dont think i would stay again. Having done self catering in lots of countries i do think Scotland does not score well in terms of value for money.

Love the place we had in the upper cabins. We didn't get any time to get on the deck, as the Scottish climate endured - with the rain.

The view from the cabin was beautiful, overlooking the loch and the hills beyond. Even the sheep provided great background noise.

I would recommend staying here. I'm "OK" on comfort - the beds are great, but the two couches are not very nice to sit upon.

Hope to return.

Had a great holiday some aspects of the property could do with upgrading,the view was excellent.The hotel&bar was nearby, and the food was very good.We could'nt find anyone when we arrived to let us into our chalet,so had to wait,we ended up going to look for them, I think that could be improved.

What a lovely location and the weather we had just made it extra special! If you are looking for an excellent place to chill out for a few day's and you are lucky enough to get the weather too then, this is the place to be! Lots to do and see in the local area and Oban and Fort William are just a short drive away!! Make sure you take in the Creagan Inn, just a short walk away, and the Peirhouse hotel in Port Appin, the food in both is just first class! The view from the Lodges is second to none, we will definitely be back!!

Excellent customer service and excellent views from the log cabin. If you have any problems there quick to respond. If your not sure what you want to do or want ideas of what to visit there's a folder of good local things to do in your holiday home. There's good local walking areas and also a pub less than five minutes away.

This is a great location with good accommodation. The local pub just a short walk away served good food, unfortunately it was closed during the best part of our stay so might be mindful to check if you are thinking of eating out during your stay. We did eat at the Pier house a couple of times in port app in, really good and recommend a try! The lodge was clean and had everything you needed the best views you can wake up to, we will certainly be returning! Thank you

This was a last minute booking so there was little choice. Although I would say the interior has had a recent refurb it has been done in a slap dash and hurried manner! There was paint on the sofa and lamp shade from the paint job and the curtains hadn't even been ironed ! Although it wasn't dirty it was unloved and way below my standards. There were dead flies on the windowsills, and the bathroom tiles were in need of a good bleach which I treated them to and came up lovely! The toilet seat was obviously new but was too small for the toilet.The shower was a pathetic trickle. On arrival one of the beds in the twin room had a very tired and stained duvet cover and no sheet on the bed. The owner did promptly rectify this. However, I also mentioned that there was only one out of three light bulbs working in the kitchen which was also seriously covered in cobwebs. He said he sort it out. He didn't! The bathroom was ,like the rest of the place compact with no where to put anything. It was just uncomfortable. It did have amazing views but for someone who lives on a pedestrianised street way too near the main road with heavy goods vechiles waking me from 5 am! The exterior was also in need of a good clean down. Covered in all sorts with the light above the door being an inch deep in dead things. Yes I'm in the country but there really is no excuse. We had warned our girls that there would be no wifi but even I would have liked it without having to walk to "games room" just to look up local information etc. In this day and age it really is a must have!

Appin holiday homes are in a fantastic location and the views of the loch are spectacular. We literally just slept at the chalet for a few hours over two nights as it was a whirlwind visit to Scotland solely to climb Ben Nevis. Due to distance we had to travel we did not arrive at the chalet until well after the booking in time had passed. A quick phonecall to Jim the owner however and he was very understanding. He explained where the chalet was, opened it up and turned the lights on for us. The chalet itself was clean and seemed quite nice. If you are looking for a self catering style place in a good location then Appin are well worth checking out.

Lovely location, though the main road was the 'fly in the ointment'.
Easy access to good walking, climbing and sightseeing. The local hostelry was OK, food was tasty but we thought it expensive for size of portions.
Only downside of 'Fox's Den' was the close proximity of the toilet to the bath. With six feet + family members it was a challenge.
Overall though a good time was had by all.

The location of Fox Den is excellent.Wonderful views and easy access to Fort William and Oban. The lodge was fine with adequate crockery, pots and pans etc. We ( 58 and 60 yr old) found the beds and settee were not very comfortable and there was insufficient leg room between the bath and toilet. There was no internet access.

I found Appin Holiday Homes whilst searching for dog friendly accommodation in the area. I didn't expect it to be so perfect and in such a beautiful and magical location. We loved it and didn't want to leave! We even found a little friend in the shape of cheeky little Chaffinch knocking on the window asking for scraps. We had a wonderful and friendly welcome and the lodge was a perfect little home from home. I would recommend Appin Holiday Homes 100% and would love to return for a longer stay in the future.
