Appin Holiday Accommodation
Your self catering holiday home is set within 20 acres of beautifully maintained grounds amidst spectacular scenery on the shores of Loch Creran. Midway between the bustling fishing town of Oban and Fort William home of Ben Nevis. This is the ideal location to sample the stunning variety of mountains and lochs on the west coast of Scotland.

Within the grounds you will also find the last remaining railway station on the old Oban to Ballachulish railway line. Creagan station sits high over the loch on its original platform and provides an unusual picnic spot.

Ferries to the islands, mountains to climb, lochs to fish and castles galore are all easily accessible. Experience all this from your detached lodge, lochside caravan or bungalow. All are tastefully furnished and provide a high standard of comfort. The properties have all been graded to 3 star by the Scottish Tourist Board and it is a 4 star holiday park.

So discover Appin this year, and share with us the unspoilt countryside, wild flowers, animals and bird life. The district is rich in historic memories, and our family now in its fifth generation, has been here since 1905 and have been providing visitors with a home from home since 1963.

On the shoreline of Loch Creran with spectacular views to the hills beyond. The grounds themselves are stunning with many trees and wildflowers. There is even a disused railway line running through the grounds, complete with old railway station.

Whilst staying you can:

Hire out one of our rowing boats and watch seals at play or fish.
Take a walk, there are several in the area including long level walking on the old railway line or for the more adventurous try visiting the old graveyard halfway up Creagan hill behind the chalets.
Let the kids chill out in our well equipped games room with table football, snooker table and soft play area.

Loch Creran
Carved from the rock by glaciers during the last ice age, Loch Creran lies sheltered amongst the mountains of Argyll and the islands of the Lynn of Lorn.

The waters harbour a diverse range of marine species. Loch Creran is one of only three places in Europe where you will find biogenic reefs – living structures on the seabed constructed by tube-building worms and mussels, and it is now a European Marine Site. When the tide goes out walk along the shore and you could find a wide variety of wildlife stranded under seaweed and rocks waiting for the tide to turn or seals and otters searching for their next meal.

Creagan Station
Creagan Station is the last remaining one on the old Oban - Ballachulish railway line. The original route took passengers on one of the most spectacular train journeys in Britain. Hugging the coastline from Oban it followed three lochs and passed over two bridges one at Connel and one at Appin both of which are now road bridges. Sadly in the 1960s the line was closed. The building has recently been renovated and provides a lovely backdrop to one of our picnic areas.
