"Perched nearby, The Pierhouse in Port Appin is praised as perfection, especially for its menu of shellfish wizardry that complements the area's coastal beauty." - Mike MacEacheran

12 Breathtaking Restaurants with a View in the UK & Ireland

"Right beside the short jetty that serves the ferry to Lismore, The Pierhouse delivers superb water views from both the terrace and its bay-windowed dining room; the menu leans heavily on seafood with mixed platters especially hard to resist, and there are bedrooms if you want to linger." - Andrew Young

"As locations go, it’s hard to beat: find a spot on the terrace to watch the ferry chugging across the loch and stay the night to wake up to the fabulous view. Traditional Scottish delicacies and fresh local seafood lead the way – opt for a platter and don’t miss the delicious mussels." - Michelin Inspector

Waterside Restaurants

"Follow the two mile track from the main road and you’ll find yourself in this magical spot. Make a beeline for the terrace and watch the ferry chug back and forth across Loch Linnhe, while taking in the fabulous view across to Lismore. Traditional Scottish delicacies and fresh local seafood fill the menu. A Michelin Plate and new addition to the Guide." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

We just returned from 2 nights at this well run, small & friendly hotel. The team members were all very welcoming & attentive. The log fires add to the cosy nature of the public areas. The bedrooms are well thought through and comfortable, and easily accessed. We made use of the EV chargers which are well priced for guests.||Breakfasts are excellent, plated to order, nice and hot and very tasty.|We enjoyed the evening dinners on both evenings, our favourite dishes being the Cullen Skink & Scallops in Pastry. The Langoustines as a main meal were a little disappointing - I prefer the langoustines to be kept whole and not sliced in half.||This hotel & restaurant is definitely worth a stop on any visit to the West coast.

I love The Pierhouse! Such a wonderful gem in a beautiful location. The Cullen Skink was one of the best I’ve ever had and the views are incredible. The atmosphere is so cosy and feels special without being pretentious. Best of all, the staff are really attentive. I can’t wait to come back.

Superb small hotel. Fantastic location on the loch. Rooms are comfortable and cosy. Breakfast is superb esp the veg option. Great bar prices. Food in restaurant is incredible. Freshest seafood ever. Second time staying there. Will not be the last. Very dog friendly too a major bonus.

The Pier House Hotel was an absolute dream. Our four-night stay is one we’ll never forget. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly by David, who made us feel truly special—nothing was ever too much trouble. Chef Michael creates the most incredible dishes (his apple tart is unforgettable!), and every single member of the team—from the restaurant and bar staff to the housekeeping team—was fantastic. Every detail is so thoughtfully taken care of, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel is one of genuine warmth and happiness.|The setting itself is breathtaking, surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, and every meal we enjoyed was exceptional.|This was a fantastic experience for my husband’s birthday from start to finish, and we can’t wait to return.|A heartfelt thank you to David, Michael, and the entire team for making our stay unforgettable. |We are so grateful to all the staff for their kindness, care, and outstanding service. Thank you to everyone making us feel so welcome and looked after.

My husband and I had such a great memorable time at the Pierhouse Hotel, celebrating our wedding anniversary :) All the staffs have been so amazing and could’ve done better with their hospitality! We were greeted and provided with a room with sea view which was a very nice surprise! Followed by an absolutely beautiful evening meal, fresh fish with lovely fruit tarts to finish off. Had a wonderful sleep and enjoyed our leisurely breakfast before departure. I would just like to thanks the staff(including the cleaning staff who we met during check out) for their smiles and their hospitality and please keep up your amazing work! This place is no doubt one of the best hospitality in Scotland!

I'm writing this review in the hope our views are passed directly to the chef and management team. We are both avid food lovers and have had the privilege of eating at some of the UK's finest restaurants. We are not pretentious and work very hard to pay for some of these amazing experiences. We had also recently dined at LOMA and the Three Chimneys which are also mentioned in the Michelin Guide. The service and quality of cuisine at these establishments was second to none! We chose to stay at the Pier house after reading about an award for chef of the year and recommendations from previous patrons. The Pier house is set in one of the most beautiful locations in Scotland and on a good day there are few places that can match the scenic views and tranquility. On arrival we were greeted by staff who were pleasant and welcoming. Staff had also been made aware of our recent marriage by the previous venue, and they passed on their congratulations. A small but lovely gesture that had not gone unnoticed.

My friend and I spent two nights here. What a lovely hotel. The staff were so nice and helpful. The food was wonderful. You can't find a better view! This is a great little town. You can walk to the Appin Craft shop for great handmade local crafts.
