The Apartment

Absolutely stunning accommodation and location - everything was perfect.

The lady who looks after it was great and very helpful. Lovely welcome basket waiting on arrival. The view is superb and there are loads of animals and birds to see. Highly recommend and we will hopefully return some day

We had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoyed The Apartment as a base to tour the local area which was fantastic!

! Enjoyed it so much we have just booked to return next year

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Apartment.

It was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The welcome pack was a lovely bonus. Views were stunning. We hope to book a return visit soon.

The Apartment was perfect, we had a lovely week the view from the balcony was stunning, The Apartment had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing time away from it all, we would definitely recommend to our friends.

Danke, das waren tolle Zwei Wochen in herrlicher Landschaft.

Das Appartment ist sehr gemütlich, auch bei schlechtem Wetter. Man muss sich von dort eigentlich nicht wegbewegen. Wir waren zwei Wochen ohne Auto unterwegs. Die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel ab Corran Ferry haben uns weit herumgebracht. Einkaufen geht in Fort William oder Ballachulish. Auch auf der Ardgour Seite gibt es tolle Möglichkeiten zu wandern. Zwei, sogar klapprige Fahrräder hätten uns noch weiter geholfen. Wir wurden sehr freundlich umsorgt (Danke Jona)und haben viele freundliche Menschen kennengelernt. Wenn das Fliegen nicht so teuer wäre, wären wir im nächsten Urlaub wieder im "Appartment".

The Apartment was amazing, would highly recommend.

So very clean, comfortable, well equipped and a wonderful view of the loch and mountains beyond. Fantastic, very large balcony to just sit, relax and watch the world go by! Many varied walks close by, lots of different wildlife, a pub and a brewery just down the road. What more can anyone ask for?

Great apartment, very comfortable with wonderful views

We had a great holiday the views was were great Everything you needed was in the apartment.

Will definitely be going back.

A fabulous property, a lovely welcome gift basket, light, bright, perfectly clean, perfect location on the loch, excellent shower, super comfy bed.

Top holiday couldn't fault it. thank you so much, we will return without doubt!

A lovely apartment in a wonderful setting.

We will be booking again next year i reckon. Thank you

A superb place to stay, light and spacious, everything you needed is there, the view from the balcony was great, breakfast outside every morning.

Would definitely love to come back here.

Beautiful base for a perfect holiday.

Apartment has been furnished and equipped throughout with comfort in mind and everything all high quality. It’s very spacious,more than I had expected which was a pleasant surprise! I don’t feel the description or the photos do this justice or the excellent wardrobe and drawer space in the bedroom. Could happily live here permanently and the Ardgour ales on the doorstep is a bonus! Would thoroughly recommend this property.

Lovely clean apartment with everything you would need.

Best welcome box we’ve ever had. Peaceful location with stunning views. We’ll definitely be back.

The Apartment was perfect!

Throughly recommend to anyone wanting a clean comfortable and good location. Not to mention a wonderful view!

Fantastic holiday everything was perfect ❤️❤️ from a warm welcome from Alison and Neil to an amazing apartment with all the things needed to make magical memories.

The views over the Loch and mountains were stunning and mesmerising and the location was brilliant for travelling to see the wonderful landscape and nature in the highlands of Scotland. Definitely want to visit again and recommend to others

Excellent property in an ideal location to explore the beautiful area of the Scottish Highlands.

I would recommend this property and the location if your looking for a quiet retreat with amazing views of the snow topped mountains and wildlife life. During our stay we saw Otters, Seals, Eagles and Deer. No 2 days were the same.

The property is in a lovely location with great views over the loch & is a comfortable base to explore further afield.

However, 1 hand towel, 1 semi-bath & 1 bath towel are not enough for two people staying 7 nights. Nor is 1 dishwasher tablet. Similarly 1 bin bag when guests are asked to empty the bins & move the wheely bins midweek for emptying is not enough. We had to use the oven & microwave because the kitchen hob has a fault. The listing said the local shop was 6.9 miles away: the nearest local shop we could find (after asking the locals in the pub) was 14 miles away in Strontian. In summary, this is a lovely place to stay but its management needs to be improved to make it special.

Beautiful apartment.

Great views from balcony. Very comfortable bed . Really nice shower. Thanks for an excellent stay.

We enjoyed a fantastic week, staying at The Apartment, in Ardgour.

Felt really at home from the moment we stepped into the apartment. Fantastic location with stunning views with lots of wildlife watching with the otters, cormorants, oyster catchers, etc. Lovely base to explore the area from as well as kick back and relax. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

What a stunning apartment in a superb location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and look forwards to returning there soon.

What a wonderful place!

The Apartment has everything you need, it’s so comfortable and modern and everything is high quality. Lovely welcome basket, thank you. The views are magnificent and it’s so quiet. Great location and love the brewery which is a short walk away. I hope the ferry gets fixed soon as it does add extra time on to your journey. The free passenger ferries are great tho. I could have happily stayed another week thanks to the lovely accommodation.

What a lovely property for a holiday, especially with a brewery just down the road, make sure you order a pizza on the Friday you arrive.

The property is very well appointed, and has an amazing shower, oh and the view of the loch as well. Plenty to do and see. We climbed Ben Nevis, visited Ardnamurchan Point, which is well worth the drive, especially if you also visit The Abandoned Village of Glendrian, while you are there, and then drive down to the bay to paddle in the sea. The train from Fort William to Mallaig is also recommended. Be careful if you drive to Fort William around the loch, as there is plenty of deer. Will will return, yes.

Overall, we loved our stay at the Apartment.

It is a lovely base to explore the area. The views from the balcony are unparalleled and totally stunning. We enjoyed watching the world go by. Corran ferry is not running now for the next six weeks so add an extra hour each way when driving to Fort William, down a single track road. The best find was the Ardgour Ales microbrewery, a short walk from the property. Fergus will serve you award- winning ales, bake fresh bread and delicious burgers. He also is a fount of knowledge about the area. However, we were disappointed in some aspects of our stay and felt that the Apartment lacked some of the 5 star finishing touches that we expect from Sykes Cottages. 1) On arrival we found that the place mats in the cupboard were dirty with stains on them! 2) The transparent shower gel and hand wash were less than half full which just gave the impression that the owner could not be bothered! 3) The "Welcome Basket" was the least welcoming we have ever had! A loaf, a bag of crisps and milk in the fridge! What happened to the beers and wine to sample, as advertised in the previous guest reviews? Even some fresh flowers would have made the experience more welcoming. 4) Some wooden beams on the balcony are rotting so this is just to flag it up for safety reasons. 5) Every previous accommodation has provided essentials such as tin foil, cling film, dishwasher tablets and spare black bags. There were none here. It just felt that the cleanliness and finer details let the holiday down.

Excellent luxury apartment with beautiful views of the Loch.

Bed very comfortable and an excellent welcome pack supplied. The perfect place to just chill out. Fergus’s food and real ale a short walk away (we found his food excellent). Enjoyed meeting the owners who were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble (thank you).

Lovely apartment in stunning location ideal for touring the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and beyond.

Well equipped, comfortable and clean and the thoughtful welcome basket a surprise bonus. Outstanding views from the veranda. Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful base for our holiday. Please change the directions provided from Corran Ferry as they are misleading and take you well past the apartment, unless we read them incorrectly?? Fortunately the apartment is very recognisable from the photos and no harm done. Also directions from the north and Fort William by road via the A830 and A861 would be helpful as road signage encourages motorists to use an alternative route because of the current ferry issues.

We completely fell in love with this place and didn’t want to leave.

The location and views were stunning and it was a great base to explore the area from. It had all the facilities you could need including a well stocked big kitchen incredible shower and a really comfortable bed to get a great sleep. Everything was labelled to help you find all the switches. The welcome package was the cherry on top, it would have been useful to know about beforehand as we picked up some pricey milk on the way in that wasn’t needed. Its worth being aware that the ferry is ten pounds each way and the times seemed semi unreliable although it is constantly back and forth you just cant set your watch by it. The drive around the loch to Fort William can take almost an hour so factor it into travel plans. Also the local facilities are half an hour away so we stocked up in Fort William to save a bit of money. We would absolutely love to return here for longer one day.

The property is spacious and more than catered for our needs.

Fantastic views across the area. Comfortable, warm and quiet inside, with everything we needed. My partner would have liked more than one main towel to last a week ideally. We would love to stay again, however a holiday week running from Friday to Friday really is a pain. Forcing you to travel on the busiest day of the week really takes the edge of a relaxing holiday. I am not sure if this is the owners choice or Sykes insistence? Such a shame.

Stunning property, beautiful setting, and apartment had everything we needed.

Welcome pack was a nice touch thank you.

A great place to stay; clean and bright with fabulous views.

Would definitely stay again x

We really enjoyed our stay at The Apartment.

Lovely setting and views across the loch.

Brilliant location and facilities, couldn't have asked for more with regard to a holiday apartment.

The only problem we had was the lack of ferry which added considerable time to any visit we wished to make and the loch side drive to the apartment can be quite stressful at busy times. We know this is a temporary problem but may last the summer. We were told in advance re the Ferry problem which we appreciated but perhaps future occupants should also be apprised of the time issue and that they will have 15/16 miles of single track road to navigate. Having said that we have had a brilliant holiday.

This was our second stay at the Apartment and would return any time.

This was a fantastic property, struggle to see how anyone could visit and not be blown away by everything this location has to offer.

Can't wait to go back and discover more.

Absolutely brilliant property to get away to for a few days in the Scottish highlands.

Views are incredible off the balcony, and you’re off the beaten track enough to feel like you have absolute privacy whilst enjoying the breathtaking views from the balcony. Really did feel lucky to be able to wake up and sit outside with a morning coffee with the canvas of Loch Linnhe and the surrounding mountains right in front of you as the sun rises. As if the property wasn’t welcoming enough in itself, the owner had left a great welcome hamper full of goodies, wine and beer amongst other things. The property itself has everything you’d need, and was pristinely clean - not to mention the incredibly comfy bed! You can’t hear a pin drop at night time, and we were always asleep in seconds after a day of walking about (particularly up the famous Ben Nevis which isn’t a far drive at all on the other side of the Loch) Already looking forward to heading back in the future, and I won’t be looking anywhere else to stay as this property has it all. Thank you very much

We had a fabulous stay at the apartment.

The views across the loch are amazing and the apartment itself is perfect for two. Would definitely return.

Peaceful beautiful location the views from all windows in the apartment were lovely the apartment was clean warm and always a pleasure to return after a long day out and about .

I only had on problem that even after a week i never mastered and that was the cooker Hob way to modern for me Lol

The apartment is lovely and is perfect for a couple.

The view from the balcony is fantastic and minimalist layout and decor make it very easy to keep tidy. The location is great as well as it has a good balance between remoteness and accessibility of shops if you need them. However, we did take plenty of provisions with us as we only wanted to make the trip to Fort William once and the shop at Strontian is a bit “limited”. Very nice welcome pack including some beer from the micro brewery just down the road which is well worth a visit (several actually in my case). The only small issues were: The smoke alarm which went off when you make toast even if you don’t burn it - and it keeps going off even after you’ve silenced it, and there could be a bit more crockery so you’re not putting the dishwasher on half full all the time (or washing up manually of course!). All in all, a very enjoyable week.

What a fantastic apartment, such a peaceful location.

View is amazing! Cannot fault a thing. Would definitely like to return in the future. The goodies were a lovely thought

The directions provided by Sykes took us 3 miles past the apartment and were counter-productive.

The directions should be, "In Ardgour leave ferry, turn right and after about a mile the property is on the left just before Kiel House."

Really great location and accommodation - the place was excellent and exceeded expectations.

Would really recommend it.

Lovely apartment and well kept.

Fantastic location. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much. Lin and Ian

It is an amazing place, great views & spotlessly clean.

Been twice now & will definitely be going back. A small table lamp would be lovely to be able to put on when watching tv instead of the big lights or no lights. Met the owners too who were lovely.

An incredible holiday - thank you!

The accommodation was wonderful: clean, comfortable, with everything we needed and an amazing shower! The views from all around the accommodation were incredible - from the loch to the trees and mountains, in the rain, sunshine and even moonlit. The balcony provides an excellent sheltered area to take it all in. The location is incredible: wildlife everywhere! Just on the drive out from the accommodation we saw buzzards, hedgehog, deer rutting, the Ardgour mountain goats, seals, fins in the sea and many different birds - the highlight was watching an otter fishing! The little brewery just down the road was lovely and the welcome basket was much appreciated as the nearest shop is a little drive away. Would thoroughly recommend and would love to return one day.

Excellent location, perfect in every way

Super apartment; and a lovely welcome basket.

Would fully recommend to friends wanting to stay in the area.

The cottage was beyond what we expected and spotlessly clean.

The owners left a thoughtful and extensive welcome basket and small additions to the property like soaps, disposable BBQ and binoculars really made all the difference. It felt like the owners really wanted us to get the most out of our time in the cottage. Catching the ferry saved so much time and the fact that the ferry times were sent by Sykes a few days before our stay was very helpful and much appreciated. I would just say that the 9.30 pm last ferry does need factoring in to nights out to avoid the hour long drive round the Loch. It was a real shame that the village pub was closed due to a fire but this was no reflection on the cottage and the pub was due to open again in a few weeks.

The only thing that I would say to any future guests is that when booking any trips requiring the ferry.

Avoid Sunday mornings as it seems that’s when they do any maintenance on the Corran Ferry. We had booked the Jacobite train to Mallaig and the Ferry wasn’t ready for sailing so we had to drive the long way round to get to Fort William on time. That was a 45 minute round trip we did not plan for.

Superb stay and perfect location at the Apartment.

The welcome pack was the best we have ever had and the Apartment was lovely and warm on our arrival. We will definitely stay here again.
