We had a lovely time here. The lodge was just what we needed, just the right size and with everything included. Appin is beautiful and there were lots of things to do nearby and in Oban. Perfectly located with beautiful views of the loch.

I liked the lodge and we had an enjoyable stay in Appin.
The view from the lodge balcony was beautiful and the situation very peaceful.
The lodge was compact but cosy and it was nice to have the heating on when we arrived on a rainy afternoon.
The lodge was well equipped.
Some suggestions for improvements would be coats pegs to hang wet clothing, shelving in the bathroom for toiletries and better mattresses. Those on our single beds were not particularly comfortable.Overall a pleasant stay.

Comfortable and well-equipped lochside cabin in a beautiful location. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. Towels and toiletries were provided, which was great, though the information provided said that you need to bring your own towels, so we brought these unnecessarily. Overall, a great base to explore the area and I can see why people would return time and again.

Always love it here, it's so peaceful and relaxing and hosts Julie and Jim will help you with any problem you have. It's great for sightseeing places in the area and having food to eat, was a pity the cregans inn was closed but the old inn more than compensated for this and Oban is not far away. Can I say Jim needed in the bathroom a peg/pegs for hanging towels near shower is needed.

Have passed this location on many occasions and never noticed the lodges,they are so well hidden,had a wonderful 2 weeks holiday, sun every day we were there.lodge was clean and tidy and had everything you would need for a nice family holiday,pub restaurant just 10 min walk away got Oban one way and Fort William other easily reached by car although there is good bus service serving both towns and further afield,also plenty of boat trips to see all types of wild life.The view from the lodge sitting on the balcony was beautiful uninterrupted views of the Loch.Plenty of walking and bike paths.the hosts Jim and Julie were great left you to get on with it but we’re there if needed,and not to forget Jim’s dad Iain a lovely character could listen to him all night. Unfortunately the last night there my wife had to be taken to Oban hospital Jim was very helpful and after 2 days she was fit to go home so once again thanks to all at Appinns Lodges hope to see you next year.

The location and views are fantastic. The accommodation comfortable, warm and cosy and well placed to get to all the tourist attractions. It is a really delightful place to relax and unwind and the veranda and french windows help the guest to enjoy those views in all weathers. The shower is lovely - the water here is so soft for skin and hair it is as good as a spa treatment.

The whole site is pleasingly at one with the natural landscape and I enjoyed wandering around the local paths enjoying nature and listening to the birdsong. One day I had a small visitor playing on the veranda - not sure if it was a pine marten or an otter?

Hoping to be able to come back again sometime. It is really good value for money too.

We have been returning year after year to this site because we love it so much. The lodges theselves are clean and comfortable, they have wonderful views and are ideally situated for our needs. The site itself has lots to offer and its promimity to Cycle Route 78 for beautiful walks is exactly what we want for a holiday..

Our party of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our comfortable stay in Badger Sett.

We loved the location and surrounding area. The lodge gave easy access to Oban and Fort William, and we had fun exploring Port Appin and visiting Glenfinnan and Glencoe.

We look forward to returning.
Thank you, Julie,Jim and staff.

We have been staying at Appin Holiday Homes regualrly for many years, having fallen in love with the place on our first stay. The cabins are just what we need for a comfortable brea, the seting is beautiful and Jim & Julie are always friendly and helpful, We enjoy walking stretches of the Route 78 cycle track through the gorgeous scenery, and Appin Holiday Homes is ideally situated for acces to it.

Having visited about 7 years ago, we weren't sure how the lodges would have faired, but the lodge we stayed in this time had been refitted to a good standard and was perfect for our needs. The shower room with the large walk-in shower was ideal for my elderly mother in law who has mobility issues. The location is great, not too far from Oban or Fort William, easy drive to Glen Coe and many many other wonderful places. We will return very soon! ❤️

Lodge was clean and comfortable and had everything needed for a short break. It was very cosy and warm inside, which was lovely. Great that tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc is provided on arrival. Some maintenance needed inside, for example, door bar to bedroom was loose which was a trip hazard. Lovely peaceful area, we enjoyed cycling along the trails from the lodge. My children really enjoyed the outdoor chess set too.

Lovely area and unfortunately the weather wasn’t too great, however we did get out and about , it would be good to come back and visit in the summer time as it’s a beautiful location.

Despite the awful weather we were warm and cosy in our lodge. Nice to get back to after a day out in the elements! (The heater in the bathroom wasn’t working but we managed). Good location for exploring the area. The Games Room is a good addition but unfortunately the pool table was broken when we were there. Would def recommend though.

Appin holiday homes is set in a lovely location, the cabin (Badger Set) we had was very comfortable and clean, the grounds are well kept and there is some lovely walks, the people in that area are very friendly and welcoming.
We came home feeling well rested.

We always enjoy staying here but have to say this time the beds were uncomfortable, as is the sofa,s in the badger, but might be ok for other people, also bits and pieces needing updated. No frying pan and cooking utensils a bit basic, this could be due to the Covid.
Julie and Jim are excellent hosts and nothing is a bother for them if you need anything, and can I say hope you are feeling better Julie, I never got a chance to speak to you, we left in rather a hurry, as we had been on the road for 2 weeks and were tired out.

Our party of 4 very much enjoyed our stay at Appin Holiday Homes in Badger Sett lodge. The lodge was very clean and well equipped, with a stunning outlook from the loch facing terrace. It's very well positioned for exploring the area and there are several good restaurants in the area if you choose to eat out but equally the lodge was very well equipped for eating in too. The Creagan Inn and The Pierhouse being 2 of our favourite restaurants in the area. We were a little wary in visiting a different area in light of Covid-19 but certainly assured Appin Holiday Homes are going above and beyond in terms of hygiene measures. We would have no hesitation in recommending Appin Holiday Homes to others and hope to visit again at some point.

We enjoyed our stay here. The views are second to none. The area is lovely. The lodges are very nice and cosy. The only downside was that the water pressure was quite low making flushing the toilet and showering a bit tricky.



Enjoyable time with local pub 10mins walk

Badger Sett was perfect for our short visit, my father has mobility issues so this lodge with the walk in shower was perfect. It’s a beautiful location both for relaxing on the veranda whilst admiring the lovely view and for touring around during the day. The Weir family are very friendly and helpful and the whole site beautifully maintained, I especially liked the availability of indoor and outdoor games and the way the site is laid out with no overcrowding and everyone has a good view. We followed one of the food recommendations and loved Poppies. We can’t recommend Appin Holiday Homes highly enough and hope to return again.

We have stayed here before and the lodges were in much better condition than the last time. Our lodge was in a lovely location and the view were amazing. Only a few negatives, the bed in the main room was really uncomfortable and due to the cupboards either side of the bed you felt boxed in. The games room could do with a upgrade, pool table missing a few balls and games/toys same as the ones that were there 5 years ago. With the number of kids on site, it could have been useful. Overall a lovely break away from the normal manic life. Thank you



Brilliant place to stay!

Enjoyed a relaxing week in a very comfortable lodge with amazing views, didn’t need TV in the daylight, just sit and watch the fantastic scenery. Unfortunately it rained most of the time but it didn’t stop us getting out and about. Was warm and cosy in the lodge and there was plenty of info re things to do. Owners helpful and the grounds so vast, well kept with plenty to explore! Need to go back and explore some more! Would definitely recommend.

We verbleven een week in de badger sett lodge, die we erg leuk ingericht vonden en van alle gemakken was voorzien.
De locatie is prima, direct aan de weg tussen Fort William en Oban maar daar hadden we geen last van.
Het enige puntje van kritiek is dat het rookalarm snel afging met koken maar goed te weten dat het werkt :-)
De Creagan Inn op loopafstand is ook een pluspunt!

We arrived before check in time but lodge was ready for us spoke to jim who told us where to go and we found the lodge easily
It was spacious clean and very warm the heating had been turned in prior to our arrival which was a blessing as the temperature outside was a chilly 3 degrees
We settled in fine and rang him to ask for a couple of bulbs to be replaced which he did within half an hour
Jim was a very pleasant and cheerful guy willing to assist with anything we needed and passsd on a few tips for places to go and with the info in the lodge pack we were all good to go
There were only 2 downsides to the stay firstly the WiFi wasn’t working so we had to rely on normal phone data which was only 2g so a bit slow and the second was that we didn’t realise that the lodge overlooked the main road to Fort William so you could hear all the early morning traffic go by
The views were stunning with the mist rolling across the loch in the morning and the wildlife coming right up to your door in the early evening
The location is well situated between Oban and Fort William and only 40 mins from Ben Nevis
Local shops and pubs are well stocked and the locals are very friendly
In all we had a wonderful stay and would consider returning again next year

We were in Badger Logde for 1 week in July. The lodge was clean and we had anything what we needed inside. It was for our planing tours excellent, that we had free wifi inside the lodge (when we booked it, there was only free wifi in the playing room for all guests). The view from the lodge was great. We could see seals and boats on the water. The street nearly the lodge wasn´t not too noisy.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Appin Holiday Homes. Ideal location for anyone looking for the Chequered Skipper butterfly with its close location to Glasdrum Wood NNR, we also found them along the old railway line at the back of the lodges, We stayed in the Badger Sett Lodge which was clean and suited all our needs.

Reasonable quality lodge, with modern style fixtures and fittings. Some nice touches (built in USB charger points for mobile devices). Warm and comfortable. Could maybe do with some simple maintenance, but overall not bad. Hosts very attentive, and prompty dealt with minor issues. Lovely setting, and grounds well maintained.

The "Games Room" however was cold, unwelcoming and slightly musty, which was only a minor complaint. It's there you get your wi-fi fix if you need it. We used the ample DVD collection, which kept us entertained during the rather inclement Scottish spring weather.

We had a lovely time and were very lucky with the weather. Badger Sett was excellent for our needs with a large shower room rather than a bath. Jim and Julia were very helpful and sorted out our one problem promptly. The position of Appin Holiday Homes is excellent for visiting the Highlands and Islands of Scotland

My Lodge looked out (as they all do) over the beautiful Loch Creran. The view was breath-taking, the weather amazing, in the fact there was snow on the mountains when I arrived and then I had to move inside from the patio one day because the sun was too hot. The Lodge was lovely and tastefully decorated, I would have liked a hook on the bedroom door for the dressing gown and similarly in the bathroom, and as this was the only problem I could find then you will realise how good things were. Oh I did have a problem with the shower not producing hot water for long enough to get clean. This was rectified within 2 or 3 hours of my telling Jim about it. A nice new shower and all sorted quickly. Thank you Julie and Jim for a lovely stay. Judith

We have wanted to return to Appin Holiday Homes since our first visit 23 years ago but it has not been possible until this year, and we were not disappointed at all, it was everything we remembered and more. The lodge was comfortable, clean and had all mod cons you would expect and was tastefully decorated. The balcony area was where, when we were in, the place we spent the most time, admiring the fantastic views over the Loch and watching the seals bobbing up and down, the Finch's in the day and bats at dusk and the comings and goings of the boats. The owner, Jim, was very amenable and although we had no problem, it was obvious that he would be happy to deal with any issues that may arise. There are some lovely areas locally to explore and a lovely pub/restaurant a 5 minute walk away (which needs booking if visiting at busy times). Great value for money, highly recommended - we are already planning our return visit for next year (would be next week if we could!!!!).

We spent 6 days at Appin Lodge in July. The location is stunning, peaceful & quiet, overlooking beautiful Loch Creran. The lodge was fine, a little tired, small & needing a new shower, comfy sofas & new toilet seat! No amenities provided so take all your own towels, etc. We had a very relaxed break & used the lodge as a base to explore the amazing local countryside. Highly recommend the location & Jim was very pleasant to deal with. Overall a really good place to stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our weeks holiday at Badger Sett lodge. (Wish it had been longer) The lodge was comfortable, clean, bright and airy, and set in a delightful location with a wonderful view. Just the place to get away from it all, relax, and unwind. The owners were very friendly and were keen to make our holiday as carefree as possible. We would happily recommend Appin Holiday Homes.

We've booked the badger logde - got the birchwood lodge - paid the more expansive badger lodge ( birchwood is not so nice and not such an amazing view)
The equipment in kitchen and sleeping room was a bit old fashioned, the "living room" was okay.
The next grocery store is more than 4 miles away, but there is a good restaurant nearby.

Our third visit to an Appin Lodge. Lodges are clean and comfy with fabulous views over the Loch. My son enjoys the outdoor chess and draughts and the tree swing. We like to cycle part of Route 78, and walk up Ben Lora for the spectacular views. We always have a lovely time there and it will definitely be somewhere we will go back to again.

thanks for the excellent review it is always nice to here that returning guests still find plenty to do in the area. The Beinn Lora walk is one of our favourites.

We loved the view from the verandah looking out to the Hebrides, it was magnificent.
Our disappointments with the stay were that there were no towels provided, including no tea towel. As we were travellers from overseas we had not expected this.
Also we had understood there was WiFi, however this was only available in the games room which was rather cold and musty. As we needed to access WiFi this was also an issue for us.
Apart from these the above we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to other travellers.

Everything was perfect, clean, cosy, perfectly located.......but..... We are self catering holiday makers. Badgers Sett does not provide the means to self cater properly. Has a lovely microwave but no way to use it (no lidded casserole dish), no SHARP knives, we had to go out to buy some, no chopping board ( hence the knife marks we found on the lovely work tops), and no oven gloves.
On a health and safety note, had we not been looking for a tray, we would not have found the fire blanket!
These negatives are the only reason that we will not visit this site again and the reason I cannot recommend it to others.

Overall pretty good especially location just couple problems , freezer door broken , loo roll holder broken. Compact but as big as you need on holiday. Slight smell of damp in bedrooms but that seems to be the norm on west coast. Beds comfy, slept well.

Peaceful weeks (4 nights M-F) holiday in cosy wee lodge. Arrived about 5ish on a pouring wet and cold Monday night and was greeted by the owner who informed us the radiators were on in the lodge! Fantastic - warm and toasty! Pretty much left to our own devices for the rest of the stay (we are intelligent adults after all). Pottered about in Oban. Great for cycling and eating, and visiting the odd attraction.

Good points
- we rang en-route to say we'd be a bit later than anticipated and were given arrival instructions. Not long after arrival Jim came and said hello and checked we were settled in ok.
- The lodge is surprisingly spacious, modern and well laid out.
- There is plenty of room and storage in the bedrooms with a dressing table in each room as well as built in wardrobes with plenty of hangers and space to put your cases.
- the duvets were nice and warm and cosy
- The whole lodge was surprisingly warm given the weather outside and the heater only had to be on low for a while in the evenings to take the edge off.
- We liked the lay out of the site, and even though there is a road right outside between the upper and lower level it wasn't that busy at all. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lovely rhododendrons
- the well provisioned games room was a hit with our daughter and it was great to be able to sit in there and use the Wifi while she played.
- there is a nice big double shower which was perfect for us and the lit bathroom mirror was also excellent.
- we didn't cook much, but the kitchenette had all the basics we needed
- the owners are obviously very busy and not always easy to get hold of but they are very friendly and helpful and can be contacted if you leave a message at reception
Could improve on
- The main bed was a bit small (but then that's the compromise in the space available) and the mattress too springy for our tastes but bearable.
- the lodge could do with a few hooks on doors for hanging coats/bags etc
- a shelf/wall cupboard in the shower room for keeping toiletries on would be handy

Thank you for your lovely review on your stay. We are sorry you did not like your standard double bed which had a new memory foam mattress installed in October 2014. We will look into adding a shelf in the bathroom and some more hooks. Glad your daughter enjoyed the Games Room. Hope you had a safe flight home.

Lovely views.

Could have done with a throw for the bed it was chilly at night. Pillows and quilts need replacing cushions as well. Enjoyed our stay very relaxing. The Creagan Inn very handy and very good food served.

The chalet was fine- the view from the veranda across Loch Creran is superb, and the immediate surroundings are really pleasant. The main road is close in front, but traffic noise is not obtrusive. Julie and Jim ran the site, and were really friendly and helpful. The location means we could easily get around this stunning area of Scotland- quite brilliant! A good restaurant about 500 yards away, by the edge of the loch. All in all,what a place to stay for our Golden Wedding- highly recommended!

This holiday was the 3rd spent at Appin Holiday Homes which alone tells you how much we enjoy it. Excellant panoramic views of the loch and surrounding mountains. A very peaseful and relaxing break.

Generally we were very pleased with our stay, the location is great and the staff are very helpful. My only concern are the beds which need to be replaced. That being said when my daughters bed broke, the bed was fixed promptly and without fuss, which is what you want if you have a problem on holiday. We had a great time on holiday here and would definitely come back again.

Stayed at Badger Sett lodge for half term week. Lovely lodge with all you need in it. Even a torch for the dark nights. Even the weather didn't ruin our stay even though there were three landslides!. Lovely peaceful setting, amazing views and not too far of a drive to local restaurants. Oban only half an hour away. The lodge was warm and cosy and value for money. Would love to return in the Spring or Summer as many places were closing for the winter. Only a couple of things that the lodge needed and that was a bath mat for the shower cubicle and a higher chair in the bedroom for the dressing table. Lovely large decking. Shame we didn't have the weather to sit out. Would definitely return.

Myself and partner, plus two young children had a great time at Appin holiday homes. The lodge was perfect, luxurious without being modern and soulless, comfy without being small, and with a view that takes some beating. Brilliant surroundings, very peaceful, looking over Loch Creran. Perfect place for exploring the countryside with various walks of different degrees of difficulty all no more than a few minutes drive away. There are plenty of things for the kids to get up to; the gamesroom full of toys, loads of wee secret paths to explore, and a big loch to chuck stones in! Would recommend to anyone of any age looking for some peace and quiet (not that we had much of that with the kids). Can't wait till next time-we're already looking ahead to next Easter and planning for another week there. Happy days!!

Arrived on Monday afternoon in overcast weather and got straight into the lodge.
It was well furnished and smelled clean. We brought all the luggage in and immediately had a cup of tea and coffee, everything was clean and ready for use. There was even a few milks in the fridge and biscuits etc in case you needed some and hadn't brought your own

The bed was a good comfy double bed, already made. Excellent nights sleep.

The views from the veranda was amazing, excellent.

Felt sorry to leave after only four nights, we will certainly go back.

Enjoyed the area and the owner was very helpful and friendly. Great view from the cabin over the loch. Laundry room needs an overhaul and a good clean.
