Sunny Sitting Room with wood burning stove, sofa and 2 comfy chairs

The cottages are set in the gardens of Kinlochlaich, with a rare octagonal Walled Garden, Spring Garden, Bluebell Woodland Walk, extensive vegetable gardens and some formal gardens within the wall. Part of it is the Garden Plant Nursery Centre – which specialises in just plants and lots of them! A plant lovers paradise.

We are close to the sea, and the famous Castle Stalker, with the hills behind us, facing south- south west, catching the sun, and looking across to the Morven Hills. Glencoe is only 15 minutes away. We have some amazing local walks too.

Due the Covid virus we have increased our cleaning standards – All bedding will be changed ( including duvets and pillows), and all surfaces sanitised. 

yew tree studioLaich Cottage ( click on this to see more photos etc)   is fully equipped with everything you might need, and has a wood burning stove, with logs provided. Laich Cottage sits in its own sunny, private garden. It also has a Skargards Wood Fired Hot Tub – fresh water every time and no chemicals. ( do take into account that it takes some time to fill and heat up but its worth it! We are very happy to show you how to use it if you need help))

Appin, Argyll  is ideally situated between Oban and Fort William. From here, you can explore our amazing scenery by bike, foot or car. We have the Sustrans bike track within 5 minutes, and many local walks and cycle rides can be enjoyed from the Cottage.

We are close to the picturesque village of Port Appin, where the passenger ferry goes to Lismore, and to the famous Castle Stalker nestled in Loch Laich, which is a great place to catch the sunsets over the Morven Hills.

Exploring further afield you can take the ferry from Oban, and visit Staffa. Going north you are ideally situated to explore Glencoe with its eye catching mountains, the Golden Sands of Morar and many other places accessible on day trips. The West Coast of Argyll has everything you need; mountains, sea, beaches, islands and so much more!

We are are happy to take pets if their owners are well behaved – there is an extra charge for this. We are a non-smoking property. Superfast Wifi provided.

 

“This a a fabulous cottage in a wonderful setting. There is everything you could possibly need from towels and linen to salt and pepper and even weighing scales for baking. Unfortunately, Fiona and Alistair couldn’t control the weather, but we had great fun baking scones and playing with the many board games on a rainy day. As soon as the rain stops, there are great walks all around. There’s a tennis court and  swings and play equipment around for younger guests,including a magical tree house. We live in a city, so my teenagers had a great time watching sheep shearing and feeding the animals and we felt very welcome. It’s also a horticulturalists dream with a huge variety of local species, as well as some of the more exotic. There are a few restaurants and shops within walking distance, but Kinlochlaich is also well positioned between Oban and Fort William for touring farther afield for the day.” Guests
