The Pierhouse Hotel

Honestly guys - we had THE BEST time. Thank you so much. We're always keen to leave a tip wherever we go but we wanted to give you the shirts off our backs! We felt SO well taken care of, and it was genuinely lovely to chat to you all. As I said to the chefs - it's too rare these days to find food that exemplifies both total understanding and skill, and appeals to the greedy guts in you! Nothing was out of place, nothing gimmicky, everything cooked and dressed to perfection. A beautiful menu. The service was seamless. Sammy was a true pro and you all made us feel totally at home. This was a really special treat for us and it was so hard to leave! We'll be back - we're already thinking of making it an anniversary trip every year. And we'll still swim whatever the weather! With genuine love and respect - til next time! Vikki and Ash x

We went for a drive to Port Appin on our way to Glencoe and happened to google the Pierhouse, we didn’t book but this wasn’t an issue, it was fairly quiet however, it was the end of November. We had a table in the bar which had lovely views. The staff were really attentive and so welcoming. We had fish and chips and the mussels, It was some of the best seafood I have had! The mussels were so fresh and the fish melted in your mouth. I thought the prices were really reasonable and the quality was unmatched. We definitely will be returning and will consider staying over next time as the atmosphere was lovely and it’s such a peaceful place.

We visited last week for an overnight, we had two rooms. The rooms were well equipped with lovely toiletries. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. |We also had our dog with us who was made very welcome.|Dinner was lovely we started with soup and all had a fish dish for mains. Absolutely delicious. The breakfast was lovely, beautiful fresh fruit salad, freshly squeezed orange juice then eggs. |All in all a great night away to be repeated. We would highly recommend.

We were in Room 6 which was a comfortable, though relatively small, room. It had a great sea view and was quite appointed with the standard amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. Dinner at the restaurant would likely require a reservation. We ate there on a Saturday, and it was completely full. The restaurant is very much a seafood restaurant with one vegetarian option (pasta dish…which was good; although, the zucchini was overcooked). Their green salad was very good. Their Cullen skink was excellent. Both the restaurant and hotel are somewhat off the beaten track so you probably should check the menu before you come.

We were visiting Stalker Castle and went on to explore Port Appin. Found the hotel and restaurant by chance. As they served coffees and scones we popped in. Dogs were welcome in the bar. The team were so friendly. Had coffees and scones which were divine. The atmosphere and the decoration is beautiful and the view is absolutely stunning. Also had outdoor seating with blankets and patio heater. Next time we are in the Oban area we will definitely try the restaurant. So plessed we found the place. What a hidden gem.

The Pierhouse just goes from strength to strength, being a relatively small establishment in an out of the way location, I just don’t know how they do it. All the facilities, both in the hotel and my room were absolutely fine, backed up by efficient and friendly staff. On top of all this, there is the generally excellent food, well worth the journey itself. Undoubtedly, one of the best hotels on the west coast, and I have stayed at many of them.

We had dinner in the restaurant. The food and service were marvellous. We were delighted with fresh local oysters and beautiful fish. Highly reccomended. The service was excellent, Sam and Sarah made an excellent team, so welcoming, knowledgeable and full of fun, appreciated Sam recommending the best wine to go with our food and providing top notch whisky advice.|Thanks guys, will defo come again!

I'm glad the Pierhouse Hotel is near the water because this place is on fire. If you're lucky enough to dine here be prepared for some of the freshest produce known to man. Short of jumping in the Loch and coming up with a lobster, you will not be disappointed. A range of seafood travels by kayak to the beach and is walked into the kitchen. The manager, David Johnson, beams with pride in this jewel of Port Appin,Argyle Scotland.
