Stayed locally and noted the opening hours on Facebook after good reviews. Our 2 families arrived at 4pm as advertised only to find it closed and bring renovated ( or in a really poor state?) if they are using fb it needs to be updated!!! And current - use social media properly!!

Touring parts of the NW 500 in a hired camper. Discovered this little gem on our way to find a camping spot for the night. The food was delicious, I had the crispy haddock fillets and they were fabulous! The guy behind the bar was friendly and polite, we would highly recommend.

Super restaurant atypique où j'ai pu fêter mon anniversaire lors de notre road trip en Écosse. Difficile de réserver, il faut persévérer car ça en vaut le détour autant pour le lieu que pour la nourriture. La viande est excellente, tendre et goutu, les Frites fraîches et le sticky toffee pudding à tomber. Le personnel est au petit soin, un accueil très chaleureux et attentioné.

Little gem of a place nestled down a sloping road, and from the outside, you'd think it was old and run down so you'd never bother. Wrong! The Old Inn is a is a small intimate ,quaint restaurant in Appin that I now know of.. I'd heard rumours... As you go through the first door, it's dark and a bit shaby but you enter the restaurant and you are greeted with a warm glowing room, fairy lights dawn the ceiling and bottles dripped with candle wax offer a warm cosy glow. The wood burning stove also provides an ambience of heat and light. The mood is friendly and warm, and the dress code is casual. I felt overdressed,but I do like to smarten up for dinner out with friends. We ordered drinks at the bar, which is self is rust and so cool. The lovely young lady came with our drinks and we ordered. 11oz ribeye for me a my friend ordered the same. The menu is a simple no frills chalkboard on the wall with a selection of cuts to choose from with the oz's and price. Other options are available, but steak is the winner here. I've been waiting all day for this, so when it arrived, my mouth was watering. The presentation was brilliant. It matches the rustic barn, simplistic and straight-up. Steak on a wooden slab, fries a little salad garnish, and the BEST peppercorn sauce. The first bite was heaven. Chips lovely and seasoned and the garnish of rocket I could easily had a larger portion. The steak itself was perfection. Cooked very well, and a prized piece of meat. Dessert was bailey's cheesecake. While I was in a bit of a food coma, I couldn't pass up the cheesecake. So light and fluffy,whipped to perfection it was perfect for ending the meal. Now, this isn't a cheap pan-fried steak from a chain pub. This was a delicious, worth the price meal. I don't mind paying for good food, and THIS was 100% worth paying for.

I almost don’t want to leave a review as it’s such a brilliant find you don’t want too many people knowing about it and it becoming too busy!! It’s such an atmospheric old barn which doesn’t look much from the outside but beautifully lit and laid out inside. There was a great choice of steak cuts, they were beautifully cooked and simply served with fries and a bit of salad - just delicious! Friendly staff and a great evening out.

We didn't really anticipate having to book for a meal at The Old Inn by Appin on a dark Tuesday evening in late October (2023). But it turns out we did ... and we are so glad we managed to secure a table. We were offered an early 17.30 table or a later 20.00 sitting - we chose the latter. The restaurant was perfect for us and our young Border Collie dog, Jura. It was rustic, homely, and very authentic. The staff were brilliant - super attentive to us humans and our wee dog. Nothing was too much trouble. The other patrons were also so friendly. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the food - we both had 10 ounce fillet steaks - which were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection (medium rare) and melt in the mouth. The Sticky Toffee Pudding to follow was one of the best we've tried. All in all ... it was a fantastic evening. We highly recommend The Old Inn - and will be back as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed. Thank you ... The Old Inn

Old quirky restaurant, candle lit tables and log burner. Steaks are beautiful cooked and seasoned just as you like them, come served with crispy chips and a rocket parmesan salad. Good selection of drinks behind the bar. Have been twice now and will go again. Steaks include sirloin, ribeye, 11oz fillet, 26oz t-bone. Deserts after if you have room.

The Old Inn was very good. Service was good and food was good. It doesn’t get five stars from us on a couple of little points. The Old Inn would benefit as would the customer with some clearer signage especially when heading from the Oban direction in the dark. Whilst the steak was very good the accompaniments were rather basic for the overall cost We did enjoy our meal

My dinner at the Old Inn was an added bonus to my travels in Scotland. My ribeye steak was cooked exactly as I like it and the flavor was truly mouth watering. The building shows the charm of its historic past and the views outside leave nothing to the imagination. Don't miss the opportunity to dine here and as quiet as the area seems, you'll want to make a reservation. I was a party of one and they got me in yet if I arrived 30min later, it's very likely I'd have had quite the wait as it's not a place you want to rush through your meal. I will return.

The Old Inn is absolutely amazing and the view of the castle is spectacular. When you walk in you are hit with the smell of the steak cooking. There is a small menu, but there is something for everyone and it is unbelievable. The character of the building, the breathtaking view and the perfectly cooked steak really made this a must go to place when in Scotland.

We called to check on availability that evening, a good thing, . . . as we are in Ft William. There was no room at the Inn, accept , , , that if we could be in Appin in 15 minutes, we could be seated. So . . . We drove 85 mph to arrive at The Old Inn about 6 minutes early and were laughed-at by the local diners as we entered. I am a stand-up comedian by trade. It was quite a compliment! We were greeted by a handsome red-haired bartender, who by the way appeared way overworked and substantially underpaid. In any case the bar was well-stocked. Quickly seated, our purple-haired attending psychiatric physician took our drink orders and gave me advice on how to recover. I must say that her hair was as lovely as a Winter Shauna Island sunset. We decided to Tip Well. Oh! Now the reason we traveled here, the food. On a scale of 1-10, it was a Fourteen. The Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream, not quite as good, was a solid 12.8.. But I must admit the view from our table toward Loch Linnhe is not as comparable. Alas, we departed to take photos of Castle Salker. Did I mention that the Inn is Old? But, the help is Cool.

An amazing place to visit, first of all, the view of the castle is spectacular, then you walk into a very cosy restaurant and the smell of the stake cooking hits you! You have made it to 'The Old Inn' . Take your seats and immerse yourself into the atmosphere of a top-notch stake house. The staff are so welcoming as a party of 8 people and 2 dog's, we was all catered for! We all loved the food and just really enjoyed the atmosphere of the whole stake house. The character of the building and the breathtaking view just added to it all. If you are going to Scotland (near Port Appin) 'The Old Inn' is a must, make sure you book yourself a table and enjoy your time at the best stake house in Scotland. Thankyou to all the staff for taking such good care of us all and making a fuss over the dog's.

You have to go here, fantastic, steak was to perfection, wife had the chicken and again perfection, sticky toffee pudding is the best I have had anywhere. Setting is second to none, back drop of the beer garden has castle stalker , after spending four days at a 4 / 5 star hotel 6 miles south of Oban it was a 24 mile run north to come for some food, the place itself is nothing more than an old barn, no windows and lighting from big candles, stone floor old wooden tables from 50+ years back along with the seats, so those who want a palace go eat in the hotel I was in, the reason why this is so good is you get what you pay for, fantastic service, nothing was too much, food that in fairness our hotel was charging twice the price for half the quality and quantity. You need to book well in advance it's not a pub you turn up to and grab a table, all tables are reserved. All I can say is it's a fantastic experience and for those who want a good steak and chips, chicken and chips, with traditional pub type desserts, absolute must, and the best thing it's not one of these places that have been ruined by cheffy dishes of nuggets of beef on two new potatoes split with a sprig of rocket and a circle and two dots of brown sauce, this is wooden slabs full with what you choose and beautifully cooked and served, forget your Ramsey endorsed places, go here before clowns like him get their hands on it a mess it up... Well done to the team at the old inn.. A+++ we will return. Thanks for such a wonderful meal and don't change a thing that you do...

Wonderful, rustic old 'no frills' barn with a bar, assorted old tables and chairs, and exposed original stonework and rafters. There's a blackboard menu, and it's a case of order and pay at the bar. The food is ok, but it was disappointing to find that it was another of the growing numbers of lazy eateries that use poor quality frozen chips in their menu instead of cutting fresh potato chips. Unforgivable in any restaurant environment. I opted for the grilled fish on crushed baby potatoes because those awful frozen fries would not have been a good accompaniment to a decent steak. Edit: Naturally, I'll accept your word that you "cut and pre fry your own potato chips" Old Inn. But you certainly fooled me. Those 'skinny fries'....(they're certainly not cut as proper chips)....neither hold the heat like real chips do, nor do they display any of the other traditional chip characteristics...ie. crispy on the outside and hot and fluffy on the inside. They are just dry potato sticks. I'm sorry that you are unhappy with my critical comment. However, I did give your place 4 stars, so considering those awful fries, the rest of my experience was obviously pretty good. I enjoyed my visit to your rustic establishment and learning a little about its history.

Sehr schöne Location. Unser Essen (Rumpsteak, Hühnchen und Sticky Toffee Cake) war hervorragend. Der Service war unaufgeregt und aufmerksam. Eine absolute Empfehlung!

An unreal feed at The Old Inn!!! The staff were incredible when my son got stung by a wasp and one of the girls ensured we had what we needed to ease the pain from the string. The views of Castle Stalker are just amazing and it’s such a relaxing place. Most of our group were from New Zealand and they though the food and experience was just 10/10.

A brilliant pub serving a small menu of mostly high quality steaks with some other options. Service was friendly and efficient. Best meal of our trip by miles. Beer garden has stunning views over the castle and loch.

Amazing food and service in a nice rustic setting. View of Castle Stalker outside. If you like steak, go here. If you don’t like steak, still go here - they have really good alternatives, especially the risotto.

Our B&B host recommended this place for a steak. We started off with a rosti and fried egg, then each had a filet and finally split the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was delicious but the standouts for me were the chips, peppercorn sauce and the...

R&B Rockabilly Dinerlocation-icon23 Marine PlaceAmerican

This place was absolutely terrific - the owners was so very nice to us, and the waitress was incredible. We had the BIG BLOCK, the TACOS, a most amazing ENCHILADA plate and other assorted goodies. Having been on the island for several days (and for the first time - a very beautiful island I must say!), we noticed a few places offering something very similar (several quasi-American places to chose from), but THIS is the real deal! We couldn't recommend this place enough, and we will definitely be back! Thankyou so much for a very delicious time!!! :)

The Kintyre Clublocation-iconThe Ugadale HotelAmerican

Staying in Campbeltown, a local person reccomended the Kintyre at Ugadale, having been to a whisky event early evening and not wishing my partner to have to drive, we initially thought it would not be possible. To then find that the hotel/restaraunt offer a mini bus sevice at our convenience from and back to town it seemed like a good idea. Picked up by a very nice chap in the mini bus, on time, agreed a t time with him for return and arrived for an 8pm booking. Excellent surroundings, decor, staff were cheerful and efficient food was superb wine was very good and not over priced, bill was more than acceptable for two excellent courses and wine. Scallops and potted shrimp starters were beautifully presented and excellent, Carolines fish was both plentiful and perfectly cooked, my fillet steak was as good as I have had anywhere and cooked perfectly. Portions meant the sweet menu was not required. Drink in the bar as we waited for the driver. He had suggested 9:30, we said 10, he was right. However beer was good and the staff delightful. (hope you enjoy the concert Chloie) A good solution if you are looking for an excellent meal in a special sort of place, wouldn't hesitate to go again even if it was just to try the fish and chip and burger options on the very varied menu.
