Magic two days in Appin
Stayed in mid April in a super suite facing the loch overlooking the hotel garden. Lovely decor and modern furnishings making it a really comfortable suite. A lot of refurbishment has been completed recently and the hotel is spotless. The staff were friendly, efficient and really helpful in all respects. We ate dinner on both evenings in the nice dining room with outstanding views across the loch to the mountains beyond. The food was terrific and beautifully presented. Service was exceptional. Breakfast also was excellent with high quality cooked fare on offer as well as continental dishes. There is small snug bar and two very comfortable guest lounges with a real fire lit in the evenings. All in all a thoroughly good experience with good memories. Look forward to revisiting.

First thing to say is Carolyn, the manager is a really nice and helpful person. However, on our 2 night stay, given to us a wedding present, she was badly let down by her staff. Initially, all was well, very friendly reception on arrival, room a little small and tired but didn't plan on spending a lot of time there so not a major issue. Had dinner each night, were on an itison deal so had a ยฃ90 budget each night, which seemed reasonable given the menu prices. First night was fine, second night there was mix up with one of meals which was apologised for and rectified. Big drama started on our morning of departure, 30th March 2024. Went for breakfast at 8.30, window was 8 till 10. Was met with a feeling of being on the Marie Celeste, no staff anywhere to be found in the hotel! Eventually at 9.10 the aforementioned duty manager turned up and did an absolutely sterling job of trying to give some sort of level of service. However, still took an hour to get food which was at best could be described as average. At this point it felt like full on faulty Towers. On departure we did get some money off the completely confusing bill which would take a qualified accountant to interpret. Also, prices on the menu didn't seem to match the invoiced prices and no option was given to pay for drinks in the bar. This place could be so much better but under the current owners I think their fate is only on a downward trajectory. Given the choice, I would choose somewhere else in Port Appin near the Pier.

Wow wow wow what can we say about Airds hotel Port Appin a hidden gem in beautiful surroundings. The staff make this place a 5 star visit nothing is too much of a bother. Both Carolyn and Calum go above and beyond and they make the stay extra special. Nothing to fault here, spotless, great locally sourced food, homely atmosphere with open fire and well stocked bar.

Travelled 4hrs to celebrate my husbandโs 50th. The Wellington was inedible, the Cullen Skink made my son and I sick and there was no hot water. The manager didnโt apologise and we received no compensation. I am so sorry we went there as my husbandโs 50th was ruined.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing.
We went for dinner whilst staying locally and I have to say it was a disappointing experience. The food was fairly average. We had a very nice table looking out onto the Loch but the dining room is rather cold and stark in atmosphere and needs a revamp. Service was so so. Reasonably efficient but it was not friendly and we were irritated by having plates cleared whilst still one of the party was eating. We ate twice at the Pierhouse which is far superior and I would imagine much better to stay at.
Be the first to ReplyVery different from previous stay!
2nd time to stay here (previously September 2021, just after โlockdownโ) Previously loved the rural setting & attention to detail in the hotel. Food & accommodation was previously their โKSPโ Gourmet weekend with tasting menus on both nights, highlighting accommodation & champagne in your room (premium add on, which we were more than happy to arrange!) This visit, nice Bistro style food, well presented & absolutely fine. Yes, we were on an an โItison dealโ this time but it was definitely not any less than what we paid before! Room was very tired looking, deck area not cleaned or swept (yes, we did have lovely weather on day 1 when we could sit outside!) chairs on deck area had lots of moss & algae, therefore we were unable to enjoy the experience without clearing the chairs. (Attention to detail). Room was not cleaned on day 2, coffee cups were washed but bed or towels not replenished & used champagne glasses not removed! ( again, it is attention to detail) Day 2, no staff in hotel for breakfast at 9am! (Breakfast is 8-10am), however, we have to applaud the manager for turning up after a phone call to the emergency phone number, he did startto prepare breakfast for all the guests waiting in the dining room & deal with a gas cut off! Rubbish happens! ๐ณ we certainly appreciated your efforts ๐ We are really sorry we didnโt get the wonderful waitress/Manageress????name that ensured everyone had tea/coffee in a very professional manner. This is a lovely venue & could certainly attract attract a a regular clientele looking for excellent food & service, just a wee heads up for new owners in a very difficult time for hospitality! Yes, we did ask for the service charge to be removed from our bill, we felt it was justified as the hotel did not deliver the level of service that we expected for the price or on our previous experience! Please, just

Pros .. comfy bed. Cons ..ROBBED for 2 rounds of drinks! Unjustifiable at almost ยฃ42 for 2 gin/ ginger ales and 2 small Thistly Cross cider. I'd asked to pay the round but was told no card machine in the bar and drink would be charged at check out!

We stayed for one night. Upon arrival were taken to our room, which is spotlessly clean although a little dated the bed was extremely comfortable. We had dinner which was outstanding the wine selection was large albeit slightly expensive. Breakfast again was amazing presented well. All the staff were helpful and very pleasant. Overall a very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to return.

Perfect setting in a cove. Fairly isolated but there is a village shop.Lovely room with a lovely Loch/sea view. It appeared to have been recently renovated, very clean and fresh. Superb food and service, local beer available by the bottle. Hope to return soon.
Be the first to ReplyWelcoming Boutique experience
Comfortable modern hotel. Helpful staff. Good Dining. We spent two nights in this relaxed atmosphere. Lovely breakfasts. I had Kippers and Funan Haddock and loved them both. Venison Wellington for Dinner was beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. The staff were kind and helpful. We enjoyed lovely walks and spectacular scenery. Would suggest that this is not the place for folks looking for 20th Century decor or have unrealistic expectations about Hotel Service in the modern age. Airds House has moved with the times to be a comfortable Boutique Hotel.

We enjoyed a glorious stay on our way from Aberdeen to Mull. The food was amazing and the staff attentive. (Loved the options for breakfast. :-) ) Well worth taking the time off the beaten track. Thank you.

What a gem. Great location with staff who were very friendly, professional and attentive. Food was delicious. A lovely example of West Coast Highland charm. The views around Port Appin are beautiful Great gateway to Glen Coe and travel south to Oban.
Be the first to ReplyVery disappointing and unprofessional.
We booked the Airds Hotel way back in February this year for a much needed four night break in October. We chose it primarily because at the time it was listed as a Relais and Chateaux hotel. We have stayed in these many times over the last thirty years and they have always been of an excellent standard. We also looked at reviews and the website which promised in the Food and Drink section, (and still does) 'a restaurant style which embodies crisp, white tablecloths, fresh flowers and a romantic candle-light atmosphere and offering an a' la carte menu specializing in producing the best of local Scottish seafood'. We made it clear on booking that we were Relais and Chateaux loyalty scheme guests. We were rather surprised to be asked to pay the bill in full on booking but felt that we could do so being able to rely on its standard as a Relais and Chateaux establishment. On arrival the hotel had a rather neglected appearance from the outside and we entered through a glass porch with a dirty, broken glass roof. Consequently, we were not surprised to see the absence of a Relais and Chateaux plaque. It was no longer a member of this group although we had not been advised. The restaurant did not fit the website description at all but was more like a bistro with small. wooden tables and a rather cold ambience. The acting manager, Sean, showed us to our room. It had a wonderful view but otherwise it was very disappointing. Two light bulbs were out in the ceiling - one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom over the sink which made that end of the bathroom quite dark. The bathroom carpet and curtains were quite grubby, the hem was hanging down on one of the curtains and there was black mould around the bath. The chest of drawers in the bedroom had two knobs missing with two large screws left sticking out and the TV did not work! We mentioned the missing bulbs and TV that first evening to Sean who said they would be fixed the next day. Despite reminders, they were still not replaced when we left four days later. He said the absence of TV reception was due to poor weather. Housekeeping was very poor. On the Tuesday our dirty cups, glasses and a jug of milk, which had gone off, were not removed from our room and an empty tissue box was not refilled. On the Wednesday our bed was not even made and on the Thursday our bins were emptied but the rubbish bag was left in our bathroom. All these incidents were mentioned to reception at the time. On the Tuesday we asked to have a meeting with Sean to give him our feedback and he met us on the Wednesday morning. He listened patiently, and with agreement and understanding, to our complaints. We never asked for compensation but merely wished to give feedback and express our opinion that our room was most certainly not worth ยฃ265 per night, However, Sean kindly offered us a refund, which he felt was warranted, and we appreciated this, believing it was a professional and appropriate response. He said he hoped to get back to us that day although it could take a little longer as he had to get authorization from the owners. (He also said that he didn't now think the TV could be the result of the weather but it could be fixed very quickly. It wasn't! Fed up with not having a TV, my husband fixed it himself on our last evening). Sean was not in again before we left on the Friday. We tried to contact him many times subsequently and spoke to him on 7 occasions as we felt his promise of an unrequested refund should be honoured. Each time we were told that the matter was still in hand but he never rang back as promised on each occasion. Eventually, after being at home for 5 weeks, we have been offered a modest refund of ยฃ100. Sean explained that this was ยฃ50 per night but we pointed out that we stayed for 4 nights so it was only ยฃ25 per night. We still paid ยฃ240 per night for a room which was definitely not worth that for its level of quality and service but we, reluctantly, decided not to pursue the matter further having waited 5 weeks to get to this stage! Airds did not live up to its promise as a luxury hotel and the 'new' owners appear to be very removed from its day to day running. Their focus seems to be on future refurbishment and investment rather than on the satisfaction of their present clientele. A very disappointing ending to a disappointing episode!
Be the first to Replypretty setting, lovely staff
We stayed here sort of by default - most places in the the surrounding area were fully booked - and we liked it so much. The staff was really lovely and they had a smoked fish and egg breakfast that my husband and our daughter said was one of the best things they ate in all of Scotland (and we ate well!). The rooms are nothing special, but comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and there is a pretty lawn out front.
Be the first to ReplyDelightful place to stay and eat
Beautiful small hotel with amazing views in a peaceful setting. We had a wonderful stay, with the restaurant being a particular highlight. Dinner was very special, with friendly service and the best food of our trip in Scotland. Breakfast was also spectacular, even the haggis was delicious.
Be the first to ReplyWe'd happily stay here again
We stayed in room 5 for one night in early September 2023, and dined in the restaurant. What we expected was a comfortable restaurant with rooms, in a nice location, with excellent cooking. And that's exactly what we got. The price and the product were in line with the many other places we've stayed at in this sector of the hospitality market. I don't often write reviews but our experience was so at odds with some recent adverse reviews on Trip Advisor that I've made an exception. We enjoyed our stay, we would have no hesitation in booking again if we are in the Oban area, and we have already recommended Airds to some of our friends.
Be the first to ReplyGo elsewhere CAMPING is better and cleaner
WARNING Clearly any high ratings are from a time passed long ago. Perhaps even the glasses thrown across the front lawn and shattered table was indicative of what the inside would present.. The place was filthy. Moldy dirty floor - carpet none the less. There was no service. No one responded. The tub was backed up - the staff didnโt care. There was black mold on the fixtures and tile. Relais Chรขteau you dropped the ball here and we wonโt use you for booking as this experience was was AWFUL. We saw this same sort of comment for a New Zealand property and we know to RUN. It was such we were scared to touch anything for filth. This place was so bad they gave less to eat each day for breakfast. We travel 80 % of the year so we have a sense of expectations. The chef was decent for the evening and hopefully he can end up in a more worthy place.
Be the first to ReplyLovely hotel, great room, very comfy bed
Stayed just for one night. Loved it. Never been before (so glad I didnt read some of the reviews which seem to be comparing the hotel to what it was like 30 years ago, and yes everywhere had more staff then!). Our room (room 1) was lovely, well decorated, fantastic views of the loch, great bathroom, very comfy bed and good facilities. And a real bonus for us that they take dogs. We already had lunch so did not eat in the restaurant but breakfast was good. On prices - we have noticed an increase everywhere so not cheap (for us) but the night before we spent over ยฃ150 on a Premier Inn (nothing wrong with that place either!). Staff very welcoming, and would highly recommend. Would definitely stay again if in this stunning part of the world.
Be the first to ReplySuperb stay
We are regular guests at The Airds and with good reason. Staff are friendly & attentive. Food is absolutely delicious - a highlight of our latest stay. The scenery is stunning around Port Appin and the hotel lounges offer a very comfortable base to relax. We are always reluctant to head home.
Be the first to ReplyLovely setting, amazing food
Had a 2 night stay in room 10. Lovely view from room, friendly service in Dining Room. Food was very well prepared and presented, tasty and varied. Comfy lounges with open fires, nice for a pre dinner cocktail. We had a minor issue with an overcharge on our Bill, which we had not noticed until after departure. This was corrected easily after contacting hotel. I would recommend this hotel, Port Appin is beautiful, the small gift shop just round the bend from the hotel is worth a visit to, as is The Pierhouse who have a great Gin range. ๐
Be the first to ReplyLovely couple of days!
We spent two days here in early February. The location is outstanding. Our suite was great and the public rooms were very welcoming - just as well as the weather was a bit challenging . We spent several hours quite comfortably in front of a cheering fire. The restaurant has fabulous views and the quality of the food was very good, as was the level of service from the Manager and his attentive staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had no complaints. Our one suggestion would be to consider extending the wine list to include more "new world" wines and also some more moderately priced wines. We hope to be able to visit again!
Be the first to ReplyExpensive nice hotel
Good points :-
Great location. Friendly staff. Nice public rooms and bedroom was nice with great views. Nice tasting menu with good wine flight.
Not so good points :-
Shame no beer at all.
The morning tea and coffee was nice but would have preferred having the ability to make our own in our room
Really quite expensive
Anniversary weekend
My husband and I stayed at the Airds to celebrate our wedding anniversary weekend, i had also worked there 36 years ago and had promised myself i would return one day.
The plus points of the Airds was the polite and efficient staff who went out of their way to attend to our every need. The food was first class as was the service.
The downside was the room although comfortable it was in need of some tlc. The hotel is very overpriced, we have stayed in more luxurious for less , the drinks and the wine were also very expensive and to top it all they ran out of beer which is really not good when you have paid alot of money for your stay
All in all it was a relaxing break and we met some lovely people but Betty & Eric Allan who were the owners 36 years ago ran a much better Airds and everything back then was tops.
Birthday surprise
Let's start with the positives. Every member of staff that we encountered gave first class service. Every meal was exceptional and well presented however there could be a bigger selection than 3 mains. Room and bathroom were perfectly acceptable and we received clean towels without even requesting them. This was bought as a birthday surprise but my personal opinion is its a bit overpriced and the bar prices are very expensive. Also an establishment like this should not run out of beer
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely charming and a foodie's heaven
What a fabulous place. The location is stunning - the views are magnificent and the setting is so romantic - perfect for our anniversary. The staff are all absolutely wonderful too - so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We felt so welcome and at home. While it has a lot of old-fashioned charm, it isn't dated or stuffy in the slightest and this is what makes the place so magical. You can easily sit in one of the wonderful living rooms and while away the day reading a book or spend time out and about exploring the nearby beautiful countryside - there is so much to see and do. If you like the outdoors then the scenery is majestic and it is worthwhile hopping on the ferry to Lismore to take a look around the island.
If you are a foodie, then great news. Because this place served up some of the most mouthwatering dishes we have ever eaten. There's a lot of choice on the breakfast menu (if only we had more days so I could've tried them all!) and the dinners were out of this world. The menu doesn't change daily at the moment unfortunately. However, if like us you like to try everything then this is no bad thing - my favourite dishes were the duck and the stone bass - yummy! Neither of us wanted to go home while we were there and I would go back in a flash given the chance.
If you are thinking about going to Airds, then don't think any longer - book it!
